To Spray or Not To Spray
I've been thinking about getting a spray in bed liner for the Ranger. Checked out a couple of dealers,seemed pretty much the same and cost is pretty close also. Was told that one type dries very quickly which prevents sagging on the side walls. Anyone have a sprayed in liner or any experience with these products? Any info would be great.

My dad has a spray liner on his truck. Seems to hold up fine. Makes it so you don't see a scratched floor all the time. Also, won't rust out the box (like a drop in liner). I believe the only downfall is that if you are sliding big, heavy things in all the time it can possibly tear it up.

I was going to spray it in myself, material would cost $250- $300. I heard that I could get it done for $450 cash. Leaning towards getting it done because the stuff is very messy and does not come off if you get it somewhere that u don't want it. Like your hands, face etc.
Most places are looking for around $500, these are for a full size bed, ranger would be less.

Well it sounds like the spray in liner isn't all that bad. I'll have to see about lining it up to get in and have it done. If it protects against rust on the bed and tailgate, sounds like a good investment. Hopefully it'll be done by early spring, just think, that's only about 3 weeks away. Thanks for all the feed back.

what can i say , there are good spray in liners and there are great spray in liners, you can color match your paint , basic black is always a good deal , then see what you need the liner for , there are softer compounds that stay rubbery to help hold stuff in place , the harder liners are also good to quiet down road noise

This might be a tad late - two years on a RhinoLiner in the F-150. I've got two cuts - 1) from dragging a C4 trans across it and a sharp piece of metal on the trans made a little gouge and 2) I made a little cut on the wheel well when I loaded 1400 lbs of iron scrap (whole 351M, numerous cylinder heads, brake rotors, misc crap) in it. I was tossing things in, not real particular where they landed. Our last F-150 (2001 Super CreW) had a plastic liner - never again. It's $380 to have done here, worth every penny.

I LINEX'ed my truck before moving back east and it's awesome and worth every penny. Plus my truck had 87 holes drilled in the box from a former propane conversion, fifth wheel and RV batteries and all were covered by tape installed before the liner. Looks absolutely fantastic and has held up well to heavy stuff dragged across it as well as moving gravel and dirt and shoveling out same. I think I paid close to $500 including taxes but it was done in a couple of hours. As for sagging and adhesion, etc., you can't tell this liner is sprayed on. It looks like a factory finish.
