Rino Guard, Armaguard or Drop in Bed Liner?

[Ben Fougere]

Looking to put a bed liner in the truck for this fall. I have heard that Rino Guard is the best box liner. Opinions please?

[Steelie64]

Armaguard all the way.

i have used drop ins in all my trucks. i like them. I do always have a canopy on them too so the inside is dry. I have heard of people having water trapped under them I think if you didn't have a canopy I could see that happening.

I've a drop-in in my 07 F150 the thing is killer on your knee's. Any spray in stuff has got to be better, albeit, not as cheap!

I used to have one. I like the spray in better. It is rubberized and holds things better. When I worked in Chilliwack, I would see lots of the drop in liners in between the west and east bound lanes. I should of picked them up and sold them to you guys.

any spray on is better, drop ins are hard on your knees and your box, any little sand or gravel will sand away your paint once it gets between your drop in and your box

I like recommending Spray in Liner for a few reasons. It protects the box for many years, it looks good and when you put items in the back of the box it stay put unlike the plastic liner.

water can sit under the drop in and if gravel gets underneath will sand paint off and start rusting.

We do Rhino Liner here at SunRise Ford Sales in the Cariboo and have had excellent success with it ! :-D RJ

Just spray or roll it yourself. Takes 2 hours, saves you $400. Cost of material is around $60-100.

Got the Armagaurd in my pickup, and opted to do the top of the box sides as well, highly recommend it. Line-X is another product that is supposed to be good, but any spray in is way better than a drop in.

[bcsteve]

Line-X all the way.

[emerson]

Have had both. Spray in better than drop in for the reasons stated above.

[The Hermit]

I'll try the Line X product next time. Spray in for sure! I have my truck done years ago at TruckSkins with their own product that is similar but much softer that Rhino. In general it is great but unfortunately for some reason it didn't stick to the aftermarket bare metal bumper and sliders very well. James has redone it a number of times at his expense to make it right so full marks for warranty but... it could use another touch up but I hate to go back again...

[Ben Fougere]

thanks for the input guys and gals.

[Weatherby Fan]

I have had both and prefer the spray in liner, I had the Linex in my last two trucks,my brother bought the product from Lordco and did his own,less than a $100 and a little labour your good to go.

[johnnylaw]

Line X all the way, and definetly spend the little extra and go over the rails.

[BuckNaked]

I got my truck Line-X'd, spray in liner. One of my best decisions ever!

[caper321]

i have line-X, had it in my last truck aswell. I am an electrician, always had lots of tools, rolls of wire etc. in the back. its very durable. it didn't chip or mess up at all. had the truck for 4 years. and as mentioned above, make sure you go over the rail aswell.

[fun2ride0]

Spray in for sure. That drop in corrugated plastic kills my knees - plus it's as expensive as the spray in.

Yeah but it also has a shorter life span than a plastic liner. I guess both have their pros and cons. :)

Rhino liner and a factory cut 3/4" rubber matt…. nice and flat when I'm crawling around back there and nothing moves….

[boxhitch]

A drop in liner can trap moisture for prolonged periods , as can rubber mats , and that can promote rust .
A simple 4x8 of plywood is better than rubber on a stock painted liner.
Spray in liners seal out the moisture.
If you need protection from cargo banging around denting things , spray-ins don't do much for that , you are better off with an aluminum checker plate type liner for the walls and wheel wells.

I had a bad experience with armagaurd but it appears from the good comments here that my experience may be isolated. 2 days after I had my truck bed done I went back to the shop to pickup my headache rack they were also coating. When we slid the rack into the back of my truck it peeled 2 big strips of the armagaurd off of my truck bed. The guy told me that I needed to be more "carefull" with it. He repaired it for me but 1.5 years later it has numerous holes and tears in it. I presume they did a poor prep job when they installed it. The truck was new when they put it in.

[pit bull]

I had a drop in liner come with the truck when new. It was slippery so i decided to replace it with a sprayed liner. The paint was already starting to wear from sand/dirt under the liner. Had a LINEX installed. Its the best improvement to a vehicle i have ever had done!!

[mikeboehm]

Amphibians all the way

[skuntor]

Anybody use Splashes in Surrey to install Armaguard?

[mikeboehm]

I used splashes in white rock to put it on my truck. Excellent service and job. Talk to greg
