Fender flares ,Box liner: big question

tig5691 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2002, 02:29 PM

I bought a Toyota Tundra access cub 4x4 last week
base model, it doesn't have any fender flares or trims, i would like a suggestion of where i can purchase them or who manufacture it for 2002 model black colour would be great
Regarding box liner does anyone have any problem with original Toyota Tundra box liner or any other brand, because I don't want to spray on the liner, I heard plastic box liner rubbing the paint and make noise. Any suggestion to this problem would be appreciated.
My old GMC on my front lawn is for sale, Does anybody want it?

Why not a spray in? Like Tony Tiger says. They're great!

The BIG problem with plastic drop in liners is that moisture gets under the liner and rusts out the bed. I had one in an 87 Toyota X-Tra Cab Long Bed for years. (Put it in when it was brand new and before putting ANYTHING else in the bed.)

The truck was stolen years later and they had taken the liner out thinking they were going to sell it, and didn't. When we got the truck back without a few parts like the grill, headlights, flashers, rear lights, etc., I looked at the condition of the bed under the loose liner. IT WAS TERRIBLE . . . rust was everywhere! Got a Line-X on my Tundra and don't have to worry 'bout it at all!

(Well, ‘cept for maybe the vibration and constant brake problems!!)

How about getting some DIY spray/roll-on liner from you local auto store then put the plastic liner back in. I did mine this way because I wanted the rust protection plus be able to slide things in and out from the bed(I'm only 5'2"). Can't go wrong there.

I have the Toyota bed liner and have no vibration or rattling. As for rubbing off the paint, when they do a spray-on liner, they strip the paint off for better adhesion. How's that for rubbing off the paint? I don't plan on taking it out, so I don't really care if it rubs a little paint off.
I have heard that a spray-on actually decreases the value of the truck since they are actually spraying this material right on the vehicle. Am I correct?

Well, they actually "sand" the paint so the spray-on liner adheres better. Once sprayed it gives a lifetime of protection against rust, and as far as I know, most Line-X dealers will repair any big gouges one might get in the liner for free.

As for the spry-on decreasing the value, no way . . . just the opposite. You want a truck with a sprayed in liner, or one with a drop in with an old rusted out bed underneath?
