POLL - Who has the best spray in bedliner?

[EFTundra]

OK - I started the poll before the crash, so I'll put it out there again. Let's here your opinion!

I've owned both. Line-X without a doubt in my mind. Both are good though and do the trick.

[LINE-X]

Of course I'd select LINE-X but I did vote my conscious!

To a certain extent, the quality of a spray-in liner depends on how experienced the shop tech that sprays it is. I have a really good rhino liner - about 1/2" thick, and wearing very slowly.

Antonio, I'm a big fan of spray-in bedliners because I have had experience with drop-ins and rust. In the early '90's I lived two years in St. Thomas, USVI. I drove a Nissan extended cab with a drop in liner. I rinsed underneath every few months, but still, in 2 years it had several 2" to 3" diameter rust holes eaten thru the bed, particularly around the wheel wells. Admittedly, the climate is very corrosive and humid, and someone in an arrid environment shouldn't have those problems, but I was a victim of it and I could see how it could happen to others.

Antonio---I have a 91 that has had a drop in liner in it for over 11 years. If there is any rust in that bed I dont know it. No sigh of rust from under side of the bed. I have had no experence with the spray in liners so I cant speak about them but I would not hesitate (I didnt hesidate) to use a drop in. I agree with you about the dents. Im sure if the bed rubs the paint off there will be some rust but it seem to me if you scrach a spray in deep enough you will have the same problem. 6 of one half dozen of the other. --Buzzard

What exactly is the appeal of spray in liners, compared to regular drop ins? I suppose some like the look better, though I'm not sure how often I gaze into my truck's bed. I know that a bedliner can scratch the paint off a bed over time, and cause potential rust problems, but that would take a while to become a problem, woudln't it? You could always pull it out and repaint every 3 or 4 years. I have heard that spray ins cost at least double, but I'm not sure the exact amount. I also like that I can drive up, pay, and drop the bedliner in myself and with a few screws its installed. A spray in requires an appointment to have the work done, and there is always the possiblity of a botched job. Lately I've grown tired of the quality of service I'm getting at auto related places here. Finally, my biggest need for a bedliner is to prevent dents. I've read that spray ins don't do as well in this area (toss in a few concrete blocks and see). I also like how my bedliners' rounded corners eliminate the nooks n' crannies on the bed, so that its easier to clean out. Is there a primary advantage to spray ins that I'm not considering?
