just looking for your opinions on what you have had or do have

 

ok does no one have a liner or just no ones on this forum????

 

I have a spray in bed liner and it upped the resale value about $500.00. I love it and I got a lifetime guarantee on the liner. Don't ask me what kind it is 'cause I don't remember what it was, however I can find out if you really want to know...

 

naaa .. but thanks .. just tring to see what people have why and what advantages there product gives them.. i am looking at a bedrug right now.. every that has one loves it.. but very few people know about it.. so i am tring to get some general feedback.. thanks

 

I personally went with the spray in bed liner, Speedliner. www.speedliner.com I love it and it matches my paint perfectly with their topcoat system and it still looks the same as when I got it sprayed on two years ago.

I did alot of research on the sprayon liners when I did this (Rhino, Line-X, etc.) and it seemed like Speedliner was the best all around product in terms of fade resistance and strength. Line-X only came in black? and was a harder material which I thought might be more slippery especially when wet? I liked the Rhino texture but have had friends who had this sprayed on and it was faded and chalky within a year?

The bed rug sounds good. Does it protect the sides?

Just don't put the drop in liners in or do the DIY stuff like Herculiner. Go with the good stuff.

I've alway been told that the spray-on liners increase the resale value at least a little?

 

Here is a pic i got yes .. it even retains the load locking and two tear loding .. and of course the tie downs.

 

wont it stain easy?

 

...and what about leaving it exposed to the elements won't it trap the moisture between the rug and the bed?

I have Rino lining in mine, but I am not worried about fading either. Number one...it's a truck. Number two... I have a roll-away tonnue so it really is not exposed to the sun that often.
