In my old truck I put a HERCULINER in myself. It's a lot of work but it held up pretty good. I'm planning on doing that with my current truck this summer. The only thing is, you have to really lay that stuff on thick. I'd say 3 coats at least.

 

I have Xtreme by Crutchman and have had on my previous truck. I have hauled lots of heavy metal for work and only had one ding. The thing about the one ding is it came from hauling firewood rather than heavy steel. I had a few dents in my bed and the spray in liner did not come off.

The biggest down side to using a conventional bed liner is the friction between the bed liner and the bed. Eventually this will rub all contact points to bare metal and you will get rust. Both will protect your bed but only the spray in will almost eliminate the possibility of rust.

 

i have rhino love it..

 

Has anyone else put in a Herculiner? I feel so alone.

 

Trucks TV did a com[parison between the Rhino liner and the Line-X. They sprayed each coating on 2 different cinder blocks and dropped them at a height of roughly 10 feet. The Rhino block broke apart, but the Line-X held the block together. Both are great products, but my money will go towards a Line-X liner next month. My brother has had two trucks with Line-X and raves about the quality and fade resistance.

 

How much are the line-x liners. Aren't the rhinos like 400 bucks?

 

I think it was $500 for the Xtreme for my truck but I can't be sure. I asked for it when I bought my truck.

 

You know I would'nt mind buying a spray gun that could be used to put that stuff on. If that's how it's done. I know enough of my friends have trucks to probably split the cost.Maybe it would come out cheaper if 10 guys all pitched in

 

My Line-X was $450 out the door.

 

i have rhino it was about $400, i have had it for almost 2 years and i love it. still looks like new
