I had my 2012 Crew Cab Lariat done last Tuesday. This is my second from Line-x in Macon,Georgia. I am very pleased and think this is the best protection and they are guaranteed nationwide. My first one was eight years old when I sold the truck and was in great shape. They are going for $450.00 or if you had one done before,$410.00 (Discount) Regards, Jim
Just to clarify, that's NOT LINE-X, that's some DIY stuff.
While the brand may not be "Line-X" be assured the stuff I used is the real deal part a part b active compound. The coating I use, comes with the base material impregnated with kevlar fibers for added durability, and a zinc alloy that actively fights corrosion on any surface it is applied to. While, yes; I "Did it myself"... the product is made here in The Republic of Texas, and is sold as a commercial product.
Now for what I think about the brands Rhino, and Line-X...
I would not devalue my Rubbermaid garbage cans by placing Rhino product inside for disposal.
Before I bought my truck, it had been soiled by someone having Rhino Liner sprayed in the bed. It has cracked, flaked, peeled... and much of it is missing now completely behind the wheel wells(mostly where small loads have been carried in the bed).
Line-X... not much better for what you pay.
So far the stuff I put on my truck has put up with quite a bit of abuse and shows no signs of wear. It has been taken through weesatch/mesquite brush, blazing Texas sun, sandblasted by the beach, abraded by a twisted up pile of cattle panels(again... sharp edges were dragged across my hood and ds fender with no scratch marks...) it has put up with welding sparks and the rain of hot empty brass coming to rest without the hint of a scorch mark.
The stuff I use definitely ain't no Herculiner junk. In case that was your intended d.i.y. reference...
I've put line-x in there different trucks, and did the roof of another and never had a single problem with durability and I abuse it. Price around me is $450 for the bed on the short bed trucks doing it under the rail. Prices go up depending on options (color/fade resistance, etc).
I haven't had my new truck done yet, but it will be getting the works:
Bed, rocker panels, wheel wells, fender flares, bumpers, and the underside of the bed/rockers and I've been quoted around $1300 for all of that.
I had the roof done on my old 1990 Dodge and will be getting everything below the body line (interior, and underside) done this spring for around $1800. Of course I have to disassemble it.
Line-x premium which is glossy will run you around 600 for a 6 3/4 bed under the rails.And your looking at around 500 for the regular. Some will give deals if it's one of the first trucks that month. Or you can ask about cash discounts.
I`ve had Line-x sprayed in my truck bed as well as on top of and inside an inclosed trailer for towing quads and this stuff has held up great.
Obviously Chris has an aftermarket hood but from what I understand the weight of Line-x is too heavy for that application
Whichever you choose is better than a drop in,,,amen
This is the product we use. It's called Raptor liner. We do box's and the bottom of trucks, and gravel box's in this stuff. It's tougher than line x and doesn't have that rubbery feel, it's thino er but nicer texture and lasts longer. If line x is not prepared properly it peels really easy. I just finished doing my truck in this and it is tintable. Blue hood, gray bottom and black in the box.
