Bed Liners and Tonneau Covers
I am in need of a bed liner and a tonneau cover. I was looking at either a Rhino or a Line-X liner. I am leaning towards the Rhino since it can be tinted to better match the truck color. Does anyone have either lining and could possibly tell me what you liked and disliked about it? Price is kinda steep, but I believe it's probably worth it. As far as a tonneau cover, I am leaning towards the Truxedo. They are also available in colors. Don't know anything about them. Could someone tell me if they like theirs, or if you have another brand you think is better? I am really getting sick of putting everything in the cab.
Thanks Guys

I got a Line-X sprayed in liner in my new Super Duty. Had it tinted white to mach the truck. So far I am happy with it, things don't slide around like they did in my other trucks with DuraLiners.

I am happy with my rhino lined bed. They don't spray on as thick as they claim though. Drilled through the bed for the fifth wheel hitch and it is only about 1/8 inch thick.

I have a product called Full Metal Jacket sprayed in. It's held up
very well over 2 years now with minimal fading (I had the basic black
color put in, but you can tint it as well).
See http://specialty-products.com/PDF/polyurea/FMJ.pdf
I hear very good things about Rhino liners too. My hard cover is from
Glasstite (Rally model). My gallery has some pics of it. Quite a nice
product IMO.
See www.glasstite.com.

I love my Truxedo cover! I looked at Access and Truxedo at a local shop but they wanted $475 and tax to install the cover plus they would have to order it. I liked the looks of the Truxedo and it was made by Shurco (they make big truck tarps) and it had a lifetime warranty (I don't think Access does). I found one on-line at www.tonneau-covers-etc.com for $400 with free shipping. They were great to deal with. Be aware that it ships direct from the manufacturer and will take almost two weeks. It was easy to install.
I did have one problem with the velcro loosing its sticking power after a few months. I emailed the company and they responded that there was a "batch of suspect velcro" that had been shipped and they sent me a new cover. No hassle.
It rolls off or on in a matter of seconds and keeps things dry in the bed.

I have an EXTANG fultilt. It can be unsnaped and rolled up or it is also a hinged cover. You can open it up and pull two clips and carry the thing away. I can take it off or put it back on by myself in about a minute and a half. There are some pictures of it in my gallery, I think it cost around $300. It also is availabel in colors.

I have a Line-X and like it very much. Nothing slides around, very tough, looks good. You can get it in most any color now. I dropped a 100+lb chunk of concrete on the rear lip of the bed and hacked out a piece the size of a quarter. They repaired it and I literally can't tell where they did. I'd recommend it.
There are others out there, some cheaper, perhaps a better deal. I'm glad I have my Line-X anyway.

I got the Line-X sprayed in liner on my 01 F250SD about 2 years ago. I love it. I picked it over the Rhino since the Rhino looked to be globbed on versus the more even texture of the Line-X. I wish my 4R100 faired as well as my liner has.

I have the Linex. I love it, would be 1st thing I did if buying another new truck. I also have the roll-n-loc, works good for me too. Makes the bed like a trunk if you need it.

A quick question if I may ask. Is the roll-n-loc made by the company Retrax?

I have the Rhino lining and I LOVE it! I also have a Daws Better built diamond tread tonneau. (I also have a tool box.) It looks GREAT! I have diamond tread graphics to go with the rest!
