Im looking to put a spray in bedliner in my new Tundra and was wondering about how much they cost and peoples experience with them.Im looking at line-x liners.

Thanks :)

I just had a Rhino Lining spray in liner instaled on my new full sized Chevy short box... it's great! Around $450 for the short box... more for a long box. Got mine in black... you can get color for additional cost, but I like black. Super fit and finish and is real "grippy". It's much better than the plastic "drop in" liner I had on my old truck... that thing started to rattle after about a month... looked like crap after a few uses -- this seems to be holding up real well... spray it out and it looks like the day it was installed. :)

Thanks I hope its a little cheaper but from what i here its well worth it.

I bought a new Toyota Double Cab last December, and was considering the spray on liner also...looked at a friends, think he had Rhino lining put in. Called local dealer on a price, they wanted over $400, for a box just over 5'....I went with the plastic Penda-liner instead. I suppose your intended use might sway your decision more than the price. For me, it's not a work truck, just occaisional firewood, fishing/hunting gear etc.

You guys pay that much US. Up here in Canada they are 450 Canadian for every brand. I have sprayed in about 10 myself at work there brand name is Scorpion Liner personnal I think this brand is junk and told the Boss I wasn't going to do this **** anymore so he got one of the other techicians to do them. It just doesn't get as hard as the other Brands and also peels at the edges. I do not recommend this Brand. But in general I think spray in liners are the way to go.

Rhino Lining all the way!

I had it put on my truck in 1990, still looks great.
I've hauled everything from firewood to scrap steel, never had a problem with it.

Just my .02

I had the LineX sprayed in for under $400. The reason I went with LineX is because a few years ago we had some company trucks done and it held up very well to severe abuse.

I want to do my truck also, we have 3 brands in my area, Rhino, Reflex and Arma-coat, the Rhino is more pliable than the Arma-coat which is very hard, I haven't had a chance to check out the Reflex liner yet, to many decisions to make, I have seen some that looked pretty bad, like they sprayed it on to heavy and the stuff started to run, so I would go to someone reputable if you have it done.

The problem with the plastic bedliners is that they create a sweat zone and will rot out any truck box in no time, unless you spray or brush grease on underneath the boxliner. We have been looking into all the brands of spray on bed liners. The X liner seems to keep coming up on top. Some guys are actually reporting getting a extra 600 USD on trade in if they have the xliner sprayed in. Thats more than it cost.

As someone mentioned earlier it can be colour matched to your truck. A great idea is to get them to do your rocker panels in the spray on liner. You will never have to worry about stone chips there again. Some spray in liners are not as smooth as others. This should be taken into consideration when dooing the rockers.

This is not a biased opinion. I have pickups with both rhino and Linex. I will take pics later if i can find my camara.

And belive it or not I had a summer job back when i was in high school spaying and assisting with linex.

Durability they are both pretty strong. Both with carve from a ski carbide and both will clean very well.

But Linex has many advantages both with application and with use.

The first thing you will notice about linex over rhino is the looks. Rhino looks very rubbery and appears to have what looks like rain droplets all over it. Linex has a nice texture that resembles a sandpaper look. It looks much cleaner and will improve the look of your truck.

During application rhino does not dry right away, you get drips and your truck drain holes have to be drilled out after application. THen you need to give the liner 24Hours to cure after straying. Linex dries seconds after spraying and application is much neater, It does not clog drain holes and is very managable. A good sprayer can also fill in dents and large scratches already in the truck bed thanks to the fast drying time. And linex is ready to use right after spraying however I would personnally give it a few good hours.

Linex also doesnt shatter apon impact and it will bend and flex where as rhino will shatter if hit hard enough (Real hard.) And Linex is used on some government building in the US for bomb resistance because if a bomb hits a brick wall with linex on it, it will break but not shatter into killer fragments.

Like I said before they are both good, However IMO linex is a much nicer liner with slightly more durability. And they cost about the same. Plus most dealers will do it cheap if you offer to pay for it in cash.

Hey guys thanks :thumbsup: Ill try the cash thing hope it works Ill keep you posted onit and tell you what I choose but I think hands down linex

I had a 2001 Sierra 2500 which I put Rhinoliner in and it help up pretty darn well!

Here at the dealership we started putting in the Linex, and are very impressed w/it. Seems to be a step above the Rhino due to neatness and finish. It's almost as thick as a plastic liner, so pro-
tection should be very good. Can't believe how nice this stuff goes on and looks after. I would never have a plastic liner in my truck again after seeing the Linex liners. Only thing to notice, if you take your truck through auto carwashes that apply waxes, the grip of the liner will wear off. This stuff would work great to protect trailer beds!!!

My brother, dad, field pickup, and I have herculiners in our pickups. We picked up the kits for $50 each at the local hardware store. Its enough to cover a full length pickup box. Its not quite as tough as rino or linex but on the farm we were going to scratch any of them and this we could patch up ourselves farely cheap when it did get scratched. In a year that we have had them we only have a rfew scratches and were not easy on our stuff.

some of those spray in liners are fantastic.

from what i have heard and seen in trucks they work pretty good at keepin off water and stay on pretty good but they cost you can get a similar not as good kit at farm and fleet for like 80$

We had rhinolining in several of our trucks at work, it holds up really great unless you are throwing heavy sharp object in the bed, then it tends to tear off in large chunks. Most people wouldn't be doing this with a personal truck, so it shouldn't be an issue. For all but the most severe abuse it is a far superior way to go over a plastic liner.

Is it true that to prepare the bed for a spray in liner they use acid to itch the metal right down to the bare metal. I know the spray in liner protects the bed but doing that to a new truck yicks. :hallo1:
