Bed Liner Options

[JJZ 109]

We use a kit called Raptor. Very nice stuff. I have found ebay to be the best price. Enough for a long bed truck and gun is right around $100.

I would never roll it. Spraying is very easy to do.

Found it on ebay. Going to give it a shot on my new F150.
For $119 it's worth a try. Looks like a good rainy day project when I can't get out and hang gutters. :laughing:

We have a 2006 F150 and had a 1999 which were both covered with Line-X 09/2006 and 09/1999 respectively. Great stuff (Line-X) which has worked well with many loads of everything in the world including rock, stone, steel etc.

Still holding up and can not see any medal. I would like to get it resprayed simply for looks, but not necessary.

I just built a small stock (goat) trailer with wood floor, a thread on the build to come later. We painted the wood flooring with Rust-Oleum Truck Bed Coating Shop Rust-Oleum Quart Exterior Flat Paint and Primer in One at Lowes.com. Will let you know how it holds up as the critters do what they do.

I've got an 8' bed sprayed with rhino liner, The stuff is very grippy and stuff barely rolls around in my bed, i did manage to tear a small chunk when i dropped the full weight of my dirtbike on the top corner of my bed, so i chalk that up to my fault!


I have also had my lower quarter panels rhino lined and I love that stuff. I have heard that Line-X tends to peel up after a couple years and its a little bit more slippery, I'm wondering now though if its more of a per installer issue more than anything?

I also think that Rhino lining offers two different liner options. The Rubberized coating and a harder slicker coating.

Either way, lining your bed is the cats behind and the way to go IMO.

I've had a BedRug in my 1994 Chevy (without a cover) for over 15 years now and it has been the best bedliner I have ever owned. I've hauled everything imaginable and it still looks good. And best of all it has some "give" underneath so if you climb in the bed it's easier on your knees and legs!

I know that sounds like an ad for them, but I'm not tied to them in any way -- I'm just sharing my experience with the BedRug.

Looking for recommendations for lining the bed on our new F-150. We are currently leaning toward getting Line-X.

I was wondering of anyone has any reviews for the Line-X?
Are there other options we should consider?

LINE-X IMHO.Mine has held up great.coobie

I have LineX. Looks great. Its been in since 1999 or 2000. The truck is a 1996. I added a rubber mat just cause it was only $60 way back when... The only thing is the LineX will not protect against dents. I never did scratch mine. To do again I might just go with a plastic liner but than the rubber mat would be a neccessity. :2cents:

I know that there are a lot of fans of the spray in liners, and I think they have their place, but for how I use my truck, the drop in Penda Skid Resistor has worked very well. I carry heavy, odd shaped metal objects and rocks, blocks, etc. It minimizes sliding pretty well, and really withstands denting, which I like. Now, before anyone goes off on a tirade about how drop in liners scuff the paint off and cause rusting, I have never had a problem with this. I pull the liner before trade in, and the bed looks darn near new.

Same here...I've always had drop in liners with a rubber mat and never had a paint issue...I haul dirt, gravel mulch, car parts, lumber...Whatever.

My brother used the Rustoleum roll on stuff and it lookd great for the 8 years it was in there.

Had Line-X sprayed in my 2005 F250, and it held up great and still looked great 6 years later when I traded it in on my F150. Had the F150 sprayed at same place the week I got it, and 2 weeks later it started bubbling up in many spots. Took it back, they stripped it out and re-sprayed it. They said their old machine was "out of sync", and they bought a new one. 8 months later and it still looks good. I prefer the Line-X texture to the Rhino, but that's just a personal preference.

Also, have them remove the bed bolts and the equipment tie-down brackets before spraying. You can then later back out the bed bolts and spray them with flat black primer to keep them from rusting.
