The "Not so Funny" think is that she actually blamed me. She said it would not have hapened if I bought something smaller. Kinda funny since she drives a full size SUV that is almost exactly the same width and length.

Sorry to hear that buddy. Ya its a work truck, but... I have a few dents inside the bed from loading engines into my bed. This is my first truck using that spray in bed liner. Next truck, I getting wood for a liner. My 02 bed liner has stood-up better than this spray in junk. Must have most it scrapped off on the bed floor.

Anybody have that rear tail gate cap fall/blow off yet? Mines been gone for months now. Sure look like chit with no plastic cover.

No, but when the guys back it into the GN hitch, it put a pretty nice mark in it!

I should have line-xed it, but never got around to it...so now it's just beat up in there!

That line-x stuff doesn't work. I have in on my 2010 truck. I going to use wood next time. My truck gets used for work and the wood just seems to stand-up better.

I have area's in my bed were the line-x stuff is peeled off in long chunks. Once I get the truck repainted, I going to get the bed liner re-applied, but its probably a waste of time.

I should have just bought another 2nd gen dodge truck, to be honest.

Speaking of line-ex, I might just line-ex some Bushwackers and call it a day. Too bad my truck is 2-Tone. That makes it really hard to get some decent fender flares.

has anyone done anything to limit paint chipping on the rocker panels and around the wheel well other than flares? Some cars and truck used to come with a bumpy type coating applied down low and it was then factory painted. I would like to do something because after only 4k miles my truck has tons of chipping behind the front wheels below the door.

Ya its a truck, but the newest and most expesive one I have ever purchased and I would like to try to keep it nice for at least a year or two...

I had Line-X spray the rocker panels and the bed on my 08. I like Line-X. Have you seen some of their videos? If it is peeling, its probably because the surface wasn't prepped properly.
