The key to any of the bedliner kits is proper surface prep. You have to
really rough up the surface with coarse sandpaper and get it very clean
before you apply the bedliner goop. Lot of work but it will be worth it.
I had mine done by Line-X, it was hard watching them take sandpaper to
brand-new paint.

I had no idea Line-X sanded? The dealer took mine in so I did not see a
thing.
But I must say that I have never seen A home job that look decent,
especially after a couple years.

better than plastic, but I didnt like it. It worked, but as with anything else it didnt turn out as good as on the box. the one I used was "spray on" and in the end it reminded me more of x-mas tree flocking than anything. I got it to be reasonably even, and cover all of it, after some time and swearing, but i wasnt impressed. >> Stay informed about: Anyone try one of those do it yourself bedliner kits? |

I had my Ranger done for 299, even cheaper when the dealer gave it back to
me with scuffs & scratches all over the front end. I think it was from
driving through those rubber curtains. They gave it to me for the dealer
volume cost, $160.00, or at least I assume that is what their cost was, that
was the last correspondence I had with the dealer.

I sure like my ARE Z-series cap. I got a good deal on it because it was
used. You can lock up your tools and toys back there. It's like having a
pickup and a van. Just make sure you never break the back glass door. That
was a very, very expensive mistake for me...
