I'm thinking about Rhino Lining the bottom of my Black 07 RAM QC 1500 on both sides and also the step bars. I was wondering how good this would actually look, I'm going this week to get the rest of my chrome painted black and also debadging it to make it completely blacked out. What do you guys think would look better? Having the bottom rhino lined or kept painted black? Here's a picture of my truck to give you guys an idea

 

I dunno bout doing the whole bottom up to the door spears, but it would look very sleek and clean if you rhino lined up to the dark shadow line in the picture. Stones really only hit up to there anyways.

Just a thought. If you do serious gravel and dirt raoding then doing the whole bottom would be worth it. i just like clean appearances that look like they could actually be stockish.

 

If I Rhino Line it I'd go up right past the chrome moldings on the sides, where that line is for the lack of a better word that goes all the way to the back.

 

3/4 plywwood..cheap and you can screw 2x4 into the plywood to stop large cargo, Fridges, whashers, moving arround, I agree a spray in liner looks better, but I took my money and ran to the hard ware store..

 

^ I'm confused...

I think if you did up to the shadow as stated it would look awesome. Give it a murdered out rugged look.

 

No!!! dont do it!!!. It fades and does not look clean. Ive also seen it cause more rusting. Ive seen doors where the line-x will hold up, but water gets trapped and rust out the metal underneath.

 

Had not heard that. Hope that is because of one bad application, as my whole bed is sprayed.
When I first read this I was thinking bed liner, but as a rock guard I think dirtydog might be right. Since your truck is black, it should match pretty well.

 

Confused...???

With a rino liner, or any spray in linner, you cant screw into the box of the truck, with a bed linner of 3/4 plywood cut to the demmeson of the truck box, the ply wood is never going to move.

Now I know a logical person is never going to put screw holes inside the box, Thats why I made a bed linner out of 3/4 in plywood.

A 2x4 cleat screwd into the ply wood with a one inch screw will stop big items from moving arround inside the box, 2x4 cleat is adjustable, its not allway easy to use the tie downs inside the box or the stake pockets.

4x8 sheet of ply wood vers a 600.00 or 800.00 spray in linner.?

 

That's great advise if he wanted to do his box, howerver he was talking about the exterior of his truck

 

Your truck already looks great. Spend the money on another hobby or the women.
