I think I need to open a Line-X franchise. *The local line-x dealer quoted me $510+ tax for over the rail. *I'm going drop in liner, *by the time the bed rust it will be time for a new truck anyway.

Well I have always wanted spray in, but no cash >:(

Read and seen ton's of pictures of both Rino & LineX And LineX is the way to go!!

That said if you want a drop in, call around to the Rino or LineX guys, I have one here on Cape that runs a add on Crigs list from time to time.

He removes the drop in's some brand new, and throws them in a pile, He gives them away for free, you can take one or all he doesn't care!! But he says he has no time to mark them or search for the one for your truck, so you have to pick the pile yourself.

But its free!!

Mine is a drop in and the truck is 5 years old, and I had out last summer and not one bit of rust!!

I think it has to do with a pad under mine, it doesn';t allow the liner to scuff the paint off?

drop in for me...by the time your bed is rusty enough to replace or repair your bed it will be time to get a new truck....i also like the slickness that a dropin has, when loading heavy objects by yourself ya just put it on tailgate then slide it in..cant do that with a rhino or line-x.

One advantage of drop in is, you can backup a little fast and empty the bed by slightly hitting the brakes ;D

I don't have either currently. I have a rubber mat. I have a tonneau cover too, I don't haul that much, but if I need to, I just roll back the cover and load up, the rubber mat protects the bed and keeps stuff from sliding all over the place. Have you looked into a bed blanket? They are pretty nice, looks like carpeting but designed to protect the bed. I don't know about moisture though.

All of my previous trucks had drop-in's. Never kept them long enough to worry about rust through, but they do scuff up the paint pretty bad. I never had the desire to take them out once installed, so I didn't really care about the paint. I think if you are in a salty environment, then a spray is the way to go.

SpeedLiner is a great spray in as well had one of those too but don't spray it over the bed rails you can't lean on it then without hurting your arms spray it under the rails down.
