Drop-in Plastic Bed liner

Someone knows if a company still make them for our truck?
I had no chance looking in all the company I know.

Or one from another truck might fit good in ours?

Thanks

Why would you waste your money, and damage your truck, looking for one of those paint removing slip and slide liners ?????

Everyone I've ever seen installed in a truck, unless it was a "bolted in" factory unit, eventually wears the paint off the bed surface and causes more rust.

Never looked back....

A spray on is very nice I know. But I don't know how many times I want to put my sled in there without destroying the liner. With some fresh carbide runners and a pinned track, It won't last long.
Snow is very easy to remove too with a plastic one.

There is allready an old spray liner in the bed. That will give a protection for the rust. And before I put the drop-in there, I'll rust proof the whole bed with oil.

I know 1981-1993 is the same model, but companies are not aware that dodge made trucks before 1994.
Has anyone tried one for a 2nd gen, or another brand of truck?

Maybe call duraliner?

I doubt the carbide skis will do anything, buddy has line-x and a snow machine fetish... it looks good as new. If you're really worried about it, toss a $20 sheet of chipboard in the back or plywood.

My 93 D350 has a drop in plastic bed liner and the bed looks as new as the day it came out of the factory. The first 10 years it had a truck camper on it full time, then a B&W 5th wheel and now bumper pulling a horse trailer. I have witnessed no rubbing, rusting or water damage at all. 93 D350 LE auto, bone stock about 97,000 miles. Only mod, a $5,000 paint job last year. Location Northern Virginia and I will not drive it in the winter so no salt exposure.

I've had a penda in mine for 18 years. This is a pic of it the first time I pulled it out a few months ago. Penda makes the best liner on the market

I bought a new one 2 months ago for my 1991..its a Ruggedliner brand made in Owosso Michigan. See ruggedliner.com. Paid about 170.00 or so. Says they sell internationally so maybe they have Canadian dealers. Its a thick bedliner with a raspy, non skid surface. In some cases a spray in liner doesnt cut it.

The key is a good spray in liner, anything you can spray at home won't hold up anywhere near as well as a professionally done liner. I have armagaurd in my pickups and the carbides on my sled don't leave a mark

I checked Rugged liner. Available here also. But it seems that it is an universal fit. The part number are UNV8U for the Underrail and 8NVOR for the Overrail.
It is universal, but the first gen is the only truck with those part number.

How is the fit? Around rails, front of bed, near tailgate, over wheel humps, ect?
Have you also got the tailgate pannel?

Thanks
