Default diy bedliner whats the best

Well I put a u pol raptor tintable bed liner in my jeep wrangler spice color to match the interior and it looks awesome and was a major pain in the *** being inside the vehicle. But its identical to the interior. For my truck I want to take the shell out of the bed and spay a real good bed liner or roll a real good bed liner in. I want it to be thick to like line x or rhino. What do u guys seem to like the best. I like raptor and would do whatever in black. Thanks

I used herculiner which 2 years later still is holding up well, only complaint is it faded out really quick it seemed, if you plan on putting the shell back on my not have this issue. My friend has a line x and its really nice, jus really expensive...

my issue with herc is it seems to get really really hard. It also isnt very gritty either. It doies fade also. I looking into alot of these when I was looking to do the tub of my jeep. Line x is like 800-1400 bucks depending on who does it and location. Rustoleum is paint and dirt or paint and rubber crumbs. Doesnt hold up and looks like crap. There is another called monster liner that is a roll in and looks good but I want a more gritty non DIY look. I'm going to do away with the shell

Did hurculiner on a friends yota.. it was fun and we drank a lot of beer. Looked real good till he put something in it. Wore off real fast and we did a good job with prep and application.

I'd go rhino liner. Save for it if u need, def worth it. Got it in mine and I've abused the crap outta it. Still looks good with a wash.

Yea I did all the prep work right and put the recommended 2 to 3 layers on and after loading my raptor on the back and loading other stuff its pretty well wore off.

Isn't there a UV protective coating for the Rhino liner that prevents fade?

Mine really hasn't faded much (11yrs old), just that dirt and dust sticks to it and makes it look that way. Once I wash it, looks almost new.

Dad was original owner, and its been parked outside its while life. I've had it for almost 4 yrs now, and I've used it well. My dad was pretty easy on the truck.

look up u pol raptor liner. Put it in the jeep because it was tintable and has UV protection in it. Had top off and doors it hasnt faded one bit. You spray it in with your compressor and it comes wit ha gun for it to spray in to the truck. Not sure if its the best bet for a pick up so I was trying to see any other reccomendations but I go with it for the ram
