ok sooo... apparently my request for the factory spray in liner was too late and its not happening. so i started looking into line x. i like. i went to the local place and got a quote. the guy was off his rocker. must not want business. he wanted 750 for under the rail, 8' bed, no tailgate!!!! !@#$%^&* dudes crazy. he told me prices went up yada yada yada.. so i called some places in my hometown (as im away on extended leave) and they both quoted me the same price of 485. one guy said he would drop 25 due to the tailgate step. not to mention the 750 guy was feeding me other BS about the product that the other two places straightened me out on. wow. sorry just venting.

called 3 other places for a quote on line x. all about 485. first guy for 750 was out of his mind. i wrote him a nice email.
anyone have issues getting bed bolts out on a fairly new truck?
any potential issues with removing the bed bolts?
thanks as always..

the guy who initially quoted me 750 replied to my email about the other prices i found. he said he "miss quoted" me and the price is actually 485. funny how that works. apparently his grammar is about as good as his price quotes

You'll be glad you're going with the aftermarket. I have the factory sprayed liner and it's too soft. Pushed an old tube tv into the bed, side of the tv hit the wheel well and took a chunk out of the liner. I had a line-x in my old truck and never had a problem with it.
I'd avoid the guy who mis-quoted you, sounds shady. He was probably hoping you wouldn't shop around...

). All I know is that mine seems much softer than I had expected. I had an old can of bedliner in a spray can and went back over the missing chunk, just so there wasn't any metal exposed.

I haven't been able to scratch my factory spray liner also, looking at it, it doesn't look that tough but so far it seems to be.

Finally getting in to get my truck sprayed with the Line-X liner on Wednesday afternoon. They have been backed up for over a week. Donating the drop in liner to a buddy that has a 2000 Super Duty with a 6.5' box. He's hoping it will fit...

Cant wait to get mine too. When u take it in see if they take the bed bolts out with torx drivers or torx plus. They are torx plus bolts and torx often break off. I plan to remove my bolts and put anti seize the reinstall before they get their hands on em.
