Where do you recommend to get a bedliner and topper ?


Recommended Posts

I am from Mn, I just bought a Tundra Double Cab. I need to put a drop in bed-liner in as well as a topper. Any recommendations on where to do that at?

I might get the spray-in bedliner too, but not too sure. As of now, I like the drop in liners better.

Depends on where you are in the state.

Spray in bedliners are the way to go. Never have any water getting under/behind it. Stops items from sliding around.

I like LineX brand spray in.

I thought about Line X, but my truck has a back up camera, will this affect the spray in process?

I agree with the spray in bedliner. I have a Rhino liner and my brother has Line-X. The difference I see is the Rhino liner seems to have more bumps on it. Line-X is a little smoother.

I don't know where your backup camera is on the truck but on my van it is tucked up by the license plate. I would mention it to them and have them cover it for "peace of mind".

Just curious everyones thinking on bedliner. Doesn't really add anything to resale. Non-slip is very nice. I use the removeable rubber mat that serves same purpose and just move to new truck. Works good as long as you are brand loyal.

I have had all types of liners drop ins spray ons rubber mats carpeted it al depends on the use of truck I had a spray on but put a rubber mat on top on last truck this truck I have now has factory drop in liner I put rubber mat on top and I also put the new Access Carpet mat on top of that. People are worried that the drop ins rough up paint and will rust but if it roughs up paint it would rough up the rust to meaning as long as truck is not parked for years on end and don't get used it will never rust. First thing to do to prep for spray on is grind off all of paint for best adhesion. To each there own. As far as Toppers Go I would try Countryside Covers in North metro by all of our favorite big C store. Owner Operated with great installation.

To me, it would add value if I was buying a truck. I might not pay a whole lot more for it, knowing that I can get it done, but if their were 2 identical trucks, 1 with, 1 without, I know which one I would take. So it might sell faster with the liner. Depends on how much that is worth to you.

The thing is, it may rub on one spot one day when your hauling a load of bricks, then rub in a different spot when you have your ice shack in there, etc. and might not rub again for a while, leading to rust.

I install them for a living and I with the new trucks the beds are ecoated and wont rust any how its not like the old gm and fords and dodges of the 90's Only thing that would make them rust is some type of corrosive material to spill and that more than likely will also ruin most any liner Plastic,spray-on or otherwise. Its just like when the spray on gets chipped and not resprayed that spot in the truck will rust because they ground threw the paint and primer to bare metal anyhow. but like I said before to each there own plus a spray on really doesn't provide and dent protection like a drop in

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
