Default RE: Genuine Mopar Parts (that suck)

Here's my experience. I had had the plastic bed liners, and personally would never have another one. Things slide around to much. Plus if you have a fifth wheel hitch you have to cut holes in it for the hitch rails thus defeating the purpose of the liner. Had a rubber mat, worked great until one trip with the fifth wheel and the wind sucked it right out of the truck! Probably should of siliconed it down. I installed a Line-X spray in bed liner right when I puchased the new Dodge. This in my opinion is the best one on the market. Cost me $500 to do the bed and the top of the rails. Its been a year and a half and no fading, things don't slide around, and the fifth wheel hitch can be bolted right on top of it. They have many colors, but they have to mix pigments to the mix so the color match won't be exactly what the paint is, but close. Cost $125 more for color so mine is black. It is fully repairable and from what I was told, the only spray in liner on the market that insurance companies will pay to replace. I have seen a full bed side repair and could not tell what side was new or old. Many around here have it sprayed in there inclosed snowmachine trailers to protect the floors. I absolutely love mine.

Well Ken, you've convinced me. When I go with a spray-in it will be a Line-X. Rhino is more of a rubber substance and because of thisI had many gouges to metal. Being rubber is also the reason it is so susceptible to sun damage. Thanks for your testimonial

I like the couple mopar parts I have bought so far... they are pretty freakin expensive though. I bought mopar side steps, I think they look much better than the generic kinda that turn and go underneath the truck. I also bought a mopar tailgate spoiler (instead of a tailgate cap). My 1500 came with oneso I had to get one for my 2500, it works real well on loading docks, and it looks neat too. I also bought a mopar bed mat, it gets the job done and is real durable, dosen't let crap slide all around. I like the mopar stuff cause it matches the truck, the steps have little ram emblems where you put your feet and the bed mat has a big ram emblem on it and the tailgatespoiler just seems to give the tailgate a whole new look that mathes the rest of the body lines better.

A buddy of mine just had his 07 ram linex'ed and it looks/works great, when I get the money I'm def. gonna go that route, but I will leave my bed mat in to keep crap from slidig around, but this way I won't have to worry about my bed gettin all sratched up and rusty on the inside and crap.
