Line-X in my truck... $495 sprayed in Anchorage, Alaska 2002...
I don't plan to take my bed off, so the "over bolts" is not an issue.
Good material applied well.
Check the Walmart parking lot for other trucks and how their liners are holding up. The older work trucks will tell the tale on durability.

First of all, not to be a wise guy but from what I'v been able to dig up, rhino is an inferior product....applied with lower heat/pressure and the elasticity is not as good. Also, it's a two part system with the top coat for uv protection. Linex and Speedliner use a different polymer and higner heat allowing for a stronger material and better bond.
My neighbor just got his long bed done by Linex for 345 and it is sweet. Check out the speedliner linlk I posted above...theres a comparison to rhino in there.....
Just my stupid opinion.....

As far as these products go most are made by the Clorox company I'm told. There are two " basic recipes" of spray in liners : a urethane type and a two-part viscious epoxy-urethane type(the second usually has silica sand in it also)
Personally I'd go with the epoxy based one. fading from sunlight doesn't hurt it but the tintable ones usually fade real bad. Black isn't so bad when it fades.
I've sprayed a few liners myself.
Up here, a company called Dominion Sure Seal makes two products Hippo Liner and Gator Guard. The hippo is a do it yourself rollon liner urethane based would probably be best for light duty.
I personally tested Gator guard on my b-in-laws finished bed and with a hammer and screwdriver it took some serious effort to make a mark. I think it would hold up for a long time. this is the epoxy based one.

Try Safari Coatings in Jacksonville, FL. They're located off Philips Hwy in the Southside of town. They did mine about four years ago and did an excellent job. Of course a lot can change in four years so I would highly recommend looking at their work on a few trucks they did recently. When I checked them out, they had three trucks that they had just completed and they were more than glad to let me inspect them before signing on the dotted line.
It's the best upgrade you'll ever do to your truck. Have fun.

I just paid 400 for a LineX. I felt ripped off. Not to mention their customer service just sucked eggs. At least it has al lifetime warranty. However, I can buy a business kit for the Speedliner for under 3K. The kit has enough to make your money back plus more. My calculations show that I could undercut LineX by $100 and still make fat profit. How hard can this really be? Its a spray in bedliner not a custom paint job. Speedliner doesnt seem as popular just yet - however one of their salesguys sent me the information packet so I am considering this as a side business. Just my 2 pennies.
