Bed Liner recommendations???

So, I am looking for a spray in bed liner 8ft box over the rail. My choices are Rhino, LineX, and Arma Coating. IMO Rhino is a no-no. So it is down to the other two. There is little difference in the price but not much, only big difference is how they are applied. LineX is a cold application and Arma Coating is a hot application. I do not know which one is better so please any suggestions on which way I should go??

Thanks

Why is the Rhino a nono?? I have had it for over 4 years, and have yet to have it touched up. I would like something in between Rhino and Line-X, but I am happy with the Rhino Lining.

I say no-no to the Rhino due to my last one started flaking and had it fixed. But about 6 months later other areas started flaking and peeling.

Not sure about the other, but have had good experience with Line-X. Third truck with it and never a problem. Now, I am not the one the throws junk as hard as I can into it just to see if I can rip it up, but I've been happy with it.

Happy with my line-ex

I'm on my 2nd line-ex and I have hauled countless loads of firewood in both trucks, no repairs necessary. Looks great, works great.

I like Line-X but it is all in the install. I had my first line-X that you could see through. I am sure that either is good depending on the installer. I like the texture of line-X. Check refferences!

Good luck! Usta

I don't know who told you Line-X is sprayed cold. Not true. It's sprayed hot.

I'm on my second Line-X and wouldn't do any other. They also have a nationwide warranty the others can't match.

Even if I was concerned about stuff sliding in the bed, I would just go get a rubber stall mat and cut it to fit the bed bottom.

That is good news that LineX spray's their liner hot, just another reason to go with them. I do not remember where I got my info, but thanks for the correction.

My dad and I both have GatorHyde spray in liners and have had good luck. Mine cost $400.00 over the rail on an 8ft bed, but I also had a B&W hitch installed at the same time and might have reduced the cost somewhat.

I had an Xtreme Liner sprayed in 2 days ago. I like it better than any of the others. It's sprayed hot and it's high pressure. The texture is much better than the others. It only cost me $300 to go over the rails where Rhino wanted $554 for the same thing. I have a new gooseneck ordered and when it gets done it will have the floor done in the same thing.

Not sure who's been spraying your guys rhino, but I had my last one 7 years hauld so may motors, trans, reaends, I couldn't begin to count. No flaking or peeling on mine.

IMO LineX and Turbo liners are to hard and stuff slides around too much. Rhino holds them in place like a liner should.

I'm on my 2nd Rhino and loving it....

Yep, I've got a Rhino. I think you just gotta go to a place that won't jip ya on thickness. Mine's super thick. No peeling anywhere. Got it for a screamin' deal too...350 stones over the rail, out the door. One of my buddies has one that's seriously thin on the tail gate and rails. Sure enough, it's peeling. I chose rhino over the others because it keeps stuff from sliding around.

Make it THREE

I have the Rhino liner too and it is EXCELLENT!!!! No flaking cargo moves a little but not much. Could be my driving more than the liner . Got mine for $360 out the door and it is plenty thick also. I would definately recommend it.
