....alright, I got the Rhino-lining sprayed in at Ziebart this afternoon; over the rails including the front, back & sides for $450 including taxes and stuff.
It looks great, I'm very pleased with the appearance. They also guarantee it for life against peeling, gouges, etc.
Question; I know they said to keep the tailgate down and anything heavy out of the bed for 24hrs....on my way home it started raining though. The water on it this soon won't hurt anything will it? Its garaged now.
-Oh, and anybody want to buy a Drop-In Liner with the Dodge Ram Logo... real cheap?
thanks,
daniel

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Line-X the one that is super-hard with little bits of sand-like stuff in it that makes it come out really sharp to the touch?

Hey Everyone, I got a question, Im gonna be purchasing a new Dodge very soon, I was also debating a spray in or drop in liner. My question is, If you get the over the rail spray in, Can you install a cap on the truck without having any sealing or mounting problems? I would like to know before hand. Thanks

Speedliner.com
I looked at Rhino and Line-X and others and chose Speedliner. Not because I had anything against the others, but because I wanted mine color-matched and a lifetime warranty against fade and peel. And because Dad has a Dodge drop-in liner in his '87, I knew I did not want a drop-in. His did not stay straight across the top of the rail; rail tops warped after two years in the hot sun and he has some scuffing thru into the metal.
My advise is to shop more than one spray in liner dealer and look at lots of trucks with some age (2 years old or more) and ask if they can install rougher/smoother surface depending on your taste. I chose the roughest surface I could get for more shock absorption when I drop tools back there. (Downside is cardboard boxes come apart when I try to scoot'm across the bed.) Some dealers even offer Kevlar if you're interested.

man, am I the only one who loves the drop-ins?
been looking for a cheap one for a while. my original one was all chewed up by the previous owner. MUCH easier to slide building materials and other stuff on the drop-ins!!! 3/4" plywood gets heavy when you're loading/unloading by hand
