I had mine sprayed in at Line-X of Friendswood off FM 2351 in March. They are now "Extreme Bed Liners of Friendswood". WTF? Do now I have to drive to Lake Charles (135 miles) to get my warranty honored?

wreed,

I'm also in the Houston area. I have owned both the Rhino and Line-X and would recommend the Rhino, unless you are using it for some serious contractor type work. My thought:

The Line-X is like damn ice. Everything will slide around literally like ice unless it is secured HARD. The Rhino is a bit thicker and has some give to it, somewhat like a thick rubber pad. Stuff in the bed will not slide around much with the Rhino. If the Rhino is abused, and I mean slamming hard, sharp objects in the bed, you can get some small chips in the lining layer. After 7 years of Rhino on my 97 F150 I had about 3 small chips about the size of pencil eraser.

I had my first Line-X in an F250 then most recenly in an 04 F150 that I have since sold. I did not like the Line-X due to the crazy slipperness of anything put in the back.

My next truck liner will be a Rhino.

thats why i like reflex so much..... it has a smooth, but grippy surface so things dont slide around. plus, it is slightly glossy, so it always looks wet and new.

I know that they don't show it on their sight but I could have sworn that the Line-X place off of 290 on the way to Hempsted was still there a few weeks ago. I may be wrong but I thought that I saw it. It is a stand alone building on the left on the way out. I belive that they sell ATV's as well. If you are out that way you may want to look.

I had a Rhino in my 01 f150 and a Line-x in my 04 f150. I prefer the Line-X. It did not fade as fast or as bad as the Rhino did. It held up really well.

Some people want to slide things across a bedliner others do not. If you do not want things to slide around on LINE-X, you need to tell the dealer to apply a heavy texture.

The LINE-X dealer in Houston lost his franchise and I'm glad. My shop had to strip one of his bedliners and reapply LINE-X under warranty. He was NOT a good applicator.

Chances are someone will grab the Houston LINE-X franchise opportunity pretty soon.

So it was one guy who owned all the Line-X places around here? Friendswood, Pearland, Tomball, etc?

When I bought my 07 last Jan I put in the Reflex Liner. I really like it.
