Rhino Lining guy just quoted me $440 for the bed up over the rails. And an additional $650 to do the sides.

What is the difference between Rhino Lining and Line-X?

I plan on treating the inside with home remedy stuff to prevent rust. But the rock chips and dings have been the source of much of the rust I have been looking at on other trucks of the same year.

I may go with the Line-x for the bed (only $50 more) but go with Rhino Liner on the rockers and fenders. ($600 less than Line-x)

How long did it take you to do the herculiner? And did how hard was it to do the side? It looks REAL good. Yoiu have the same truck as I do! Where are you located?

I herculined the bed of my truck a couple months ago and thought about doing the bottom 4 inches or so of my rockers....The only thing is the herculiner turns flat black after about a week or so of sun and then continues to fade....you have to use aromor all of some other uv protectant to keep it looking black... and it doesnt stick worth a damn unless you sand the painted surface of use a wire brush to give it something to stick to...thats a common mistake people make because they dont want to damage the paint they are painting over....lol
It does go on nice with the included roller kit.

I will really need it for the kids to climb up and in on the pass side.
