That is slick! What are the pros/cons of doing this? It's low to no maintenance (at least my truck bed is) which is a HUGE plus for me. Anything I should consider or think about before doing this?

It depends if you're going to have Linex actually do it, or if by "Linex" you mean a generic bedliner. People around my parts say Linex when they mean any type of bedliner. It gets confusing.

I'm sure Linex is going to charge you a pretty penny for this, I haven't asked them how much for mine, but I'm sure you need deep pockets. Also, I'm not sure if you need to do any prepping yourself as far as sanding and whatnot.

If you want to do it yourself, I recommend RaptorLiner. I have a friend with a Suzuki Samurai crawler that he sprayed the entire body (frame off, under and over). He's rolled down a hill about 50-60 yards and there is no chipping or anything haha.

My question would become, when driving thru heavy brush, does linex make the same horrible screeching noise paint does?

The only products I know about are linex (which I have in my bed) and rhino lining which fades. I'm sure linex would charge a ton but it's all I'm familiar with.

Check out Monstaliner, its another DIY bedliner like Raptorliner except better. I've helped 2 buddies paint their jeeps with it and it holds up very well. http://www.monstaliner.com/
