which one is better?
Line - X is what i would get. i haven't done it yet because extra cash goes into bikes. but when i do that's what i'm getting. it looks 'cleaner' but that may have more to do with who's spraying it then anything else. it's been awhile since i researched all this, so i can't remember all the other details but remember that line-x was the way to go.

...what I watched on Trucks! They did some testing of it by spraying the stuff inside a bunker and then blew up the bunker. It stayed intact!! Tough stuff, man! :mad:

It was all on TV mind you but it seemed pretty impressive.

It also depends on what you want for a texture.

Line-X is more slippery with a sandpaper kind of feel to it.

Rhino has a more tacky feel and helps things not slip around in the back. I think it's also sprayed on a little thicker due to the formula they use.

I've got Rhino in my Tundra and love it.

I have 14 year old Rhino lining in my truck, and we've beat the snot of this work/play vehicle. I don't know anything about the other product.

Another vote for Rhino. I've never heard of Extreme Liner, but I went with Rhino over Line-X because I liked the texture better. Line-X felt too much like sandpaper. You defintely don't want to kneel down in your truck bed with shorts on if you have Line-X. Rhino has more of a cottage cheese-like texture and has a rubbery feel. I had it done about a year ago and am very pleased with how its withstood numerous truckloads of dirt, rock and retaining wall bricks.

+1 for rhino lining, I had it put in my Cj (jeep) years ago and it is still there and it still looks pretty good. Another friend had it sprayed in his jeep and had no problems either.

...looks like it did the day it was put on. I shuttle bikes regularly, used to shuttle ww kayaks a lot, and shuttle skiers & snowboarders quite a bit. also use it for lumber and supply runs. the bed gets worked hard.

Rhino Lining is very thick. Line-X isn't.

I've got a plastic bedliner of some sort. It's 10 years old, and has held up well. We had to take it out the other day (first time ever) to install a camper mount. It has wiggled around enough over the years to wear the paint down to bare metal in some spots. In sunny CA, the metal is nice and shiny with no rust, but that may not be the case if you live near the beach or somewhere it snows [shudder].

I'd go with LineX.

Maybe general discussion?

Had it on my truck for 4 years now. Really happy with it. Never really shopped the competition but after looking at other trucks with Line-X, I'm glad I went with Rhino. I think it's got a much better texture, thickness and "stickiness" to it.

I use to have a drop in liner on my old truck and that was a rust monster!

which one is better?...virtually everyone in that biz will send you a free swatch of the actual material, in the same thickness it's applied, but without being coated on anything.

The one that differed the most was a company that made a material that was very resistant to extreme temeratures, esp temperature changes. I think their product was called Bull Hyde or something.
Also, good prep work is key to proper installation, make sure whom ever you have do it does thorough prep work.

ya know, i was thinking the same then i read your post. ive got a rubber bed mat in mine which i take out when not needed. thing weighs like 50-60 lbs, surprisingly. i dont know what these spray in liners add to truck weight in the end. its funny how we would NEVER concider adding extra, uneeded weight (in GRAMS) to our bikes, i dont think this is quite the same thing.....or is it? just a corny thought on my part, i suppose.

I'm a Rhino fan, but they're both (Rhino and Line-X) great products. The biggest and most important factor in either is the installer. Get the one you like - slick and rough (Line-X) or grippy and not as sandpapery (Rhino).

Don't go with the colors, though, just get black, 'cause the sun will oxidize it some and it won't fade the same as your paint.

I have to agree with the posts that mention that the prep work is the most important part. I got my truck bed lined by a local company called Smiths. They can do either a harder, more sandpaper type finish or a tackier finish, it's all in the application. Look at some work done by your local shops, that can help you figure out who has the best quality. I don't think there's a big difference in each brand.

I have had my Rhyno Liner for about two years. I have carried mulch, bikes, gravel, lumber, lawn mowers, refrigerator, helped a friend move, Still looks great. Along with the other posts, when shopping I found out they are all very similiar. The prep work and the person spraying made all the difference. I have seen liners that have runs that are basically permenant. So most important is find someone that knows what they are doing. Rhyno also offered some sort of clear coat they sprayed over the finishd product. It added a little shine made it all look better. If I were to do it again I would goto the the same place, Rhyno. Very happy.

there was suprisingly no rust..i am stoked.
