Thought I had my mind made up but I don't. Like the Rhino Liner because dirt and moisture can't get under it. Plastic though won't tear or become scratched like a sprayed on liner could. Bed liner wouldn't get a lot of use but occasionly a wood pallet or two and possibly a snowmobile (carbides on front skis are sharp) once in a great while. Thanks for the input.

no brainer.......Rhino. Plastic is slick and flat out suck....IMO

Did you really have to ask?? Rhino or Linex IMO, have had both and they are both great products.

linex>rhino>plastic

nuff said

linex will last longer, rhino will start to come off the sprayed areas before linex would in the same spot. seen it happen.

alot depends on your applicator. Many here have complaints about Rhino, I had it on 1/2 ton bed, it is 8yrs old, has only been regularly garaged for maybe 8mos of that 8yrs and has been used hard. Some minor fading and that is it, no chips, delamination etc.
My linex is only 2yrs old and already has had a couple chips/scratches in in down to the paint beneath with light to moderate use.

IMO its 6 or 1/2 dozen with the hi-pressure spray liners, they are about the same. But they are way better than a plastic liner

If you're concerned about a deep scratch on the RhinoLiner, get the spray-in and then get a cheap rubber bed mat. It won't slip on the spray-in, and it'll give extra protection.

I haven't had my Rhino Lining for a year yet and it's already bubbling, gouging, and chipping off in spots. Worst thing I've done to my truck yet.

Probably just the place where I had it sprayed, 'cuz that would be my luck :confuzeld

JFARR I used to own the Line-X in Grand Junction and I know all the guys in colorado. If you got it done at south metro you need to see Brad. In Denver you need to see Mark. Swing by the shop that did the install and have them mic it. Should be 125 mils.You might need more put on if you are having any issues with chips to the paint. If you do have them mek your bed then XPM it and apply more XS 100. Would be a good time to add Kevlar also if you wanted! Walk in the store and say this and see the look on their face!:D

That should still be under warranty. I would take it back to whomever sprayed it for you.


As far as sprayed in or plastic liner. Deffinately go with the sprayed in. Rhino or or Linex. I've had both with great success.

line-x

I have both and they are both better than plastic. I found that the Line-x is a little harder than the Rhino. More stuff slide on Line-x then on the Rhino. But the Line-x looks better (more uniform). Line-x seems to be a little harder and less chance of heavy objects digging in. I have no complaints with either one and both have Lifetime warranties if they do tear, peel or bubble.

Seriously guys?!?!?

We just had a "Rhino vs. LineX" thread a month or two ago. If the guy wanted to know which brand to buy, he would have read that thread. The question was Rhino (or any spray-in) versus a drop-in liner.

True but it's like anything else, it's based on what you are using the truck for. Obviously I wouldn't suggest a plastic liner to a contractor, i've seen what they can do to stuff. But for the guy that occasionally will put something in the bed and either doesn't want it sliding around or scratching the paint why spend $600 when $225-$360 will be suffice.

Also, over time, a plastic drop-in liner will wear away the paint where it makes contact with the bed, even if it is "secured" somehow. There will still be wear spots. Just keep that in mind when making your selection.

Rhino or line-x, I personally wouldnt was my money on anything else... just my 2 cents.

If you're concerned about a deep scratch on the RhinoLiner, get the spray-in and then get a cheap rubber bed mat. It won't slip on the spray-in, and it'll give extra protection.

wow hadn't thought of that

haha that would be my luck too but ive heard about things like that before

all i can say is you get what you pay for.

dude if you do go spray in, spray it over the bed rails. i didn't and mine have gotten scratched up it really pisses me off when i wash my truck

I worked in a dealer for a long time and saw a whole lot of drop in liners, and as stated above, they flat out suck. I have not seen one brand that did not deform over time and start bowing in and out. They rattle, they just plain suck.

My line-x gets absolutely beat to snot, and it still looks perfect after 23K miles

On the plastic issue, deff. don't get it, I have a hard plastic liner and the carbides on my snowmobile do nothing but take chunks out of it.

Go with Rhino Lining, Just make sure when your putting your sled in the back you dont gouge the top of your tailgate like I did. The carbides tore up my tailgate.

I would definitely go with the Rhino lining over anything else- hands down!

X'2

Get line-x if you can, I have rhino liner in mine and it looks like chit from fading, and if you ask me I think the line-x looks better anyway

LINE-X has a 31% higher tear strength than Rhino. Also, LINE-X has the optional Xtra product that resists fading and is fortified with Dupont Kevlar (which is 5 times stronger then steel.) Things change over time, but right now, LINE-X most definitely has the edge over Rhino.

ooooooo aaaaaahhhhh

sounds good to me

Exactly what I did, rubber mat over the top of Line-x. Added benefit with my camper shell, the rubber mat lets you crawl around inside without grinding the hide off of your knees.

I've had both the drop in and sprayed in liners, sprayed in wins hands down. I have the Line-X with the Xtra top coating made with DuPont Kevlar sprayed in my new truck bed. An awesome liner protected by Kevlar what more could you ask for?
