Okay, here's the deal, I want to get the inside of my Jimmy professionally bedlined but, I can't decide between Rhino-line OR Line-X. Both companies (naturally) say they are the best. Which do y'all recommend? Thanks! :D

Personally I prefer the Rhino if it is going to be exposed. The Line-X is a great product, but tends to be a little closer to sandpaper, whereas the Rhino tends to be a lot smoother. If I was doing it, I would go with Line-X, but it won't be exposed it will be under the carpet.

I had rhino in my old taco, and didn't like it. It was rubbery, and grabbed anything that tried to move (good for some, but no me) and tore easily. Of course the dealer that sprayed mine were idiots and I wouldn't call the FD if their building was on fire. You can check around and see what other choices are out there, gator hyde is one that comes to mind.

There is one close to you. (http://gatorhyde.com/dealers/dealers.php?c=northcarolina)

this is what I have and like it. I have no experience with any other brand, however. I have had this on my rig inside and out for a couple years now and it holds up well, isn't slippery but also doesn't grab like glue.

I have Linex inside and Durabak outside. Linex is harder than Rhino (as someone else mentioned Rhino is kinda rubbery). Linex is like sandpaper, so is Durabak (except the smooth version, which is rubbery), but as long as you don't intend to slide across it in your shorts, that's not an issue. You do need to watch out for knuckle scrapes...

I've had Linex for 5 years. Holding up well.

For what its worth. I spoke to Line X rep for awhile. If you ask them, they can make the texture not so ruff. From what they told me, its simply over spray. This stuff goes Everywhere and they get over spray on all the coats so the last coat they put on is done as an overspray coat so everything looks uniformed. I plan to get my interior done, and will have the cargo area 'smooth' cuz I do crawel around back there all the time. The rep didnt seem to thrilled with this added labor, but im the one that has to live with it and im the one paying. lol.

Hmm, interesting, post up some pics when ya get it done!

Thanks for all the info everybody, I didn't realize there were that many liner companies out there, I'll have to do some more research, thanks y'all!:waytogo:

I like the look of the line-X the best. That may seem secondary to some, but to me it has to look good as well as work good. I used the DIY roll on stuff on my floors about 5 or 6 years ago. Tough as hell, but I don't care for how it looks at all!

Linex is so freakin awesome. I got the bed of my new f150 done w/ linex and xtra, and I can honestly say its amazing. I drag heavy loads in and out the rinse and theres no marks on it. I will be doing the tub of my blazer (when I get one lol ). Rhino is crap and can tear, where as linex bonds into the metal and can't seperate....Dave

how much dose it cost for the interior of the tub? has anyone spray the underside? i asume id have to put it on a rotisary?

I think the rhino looks like snot, line-x looks much better

rhino

does anyone have any pics of interiors done, this is raising some intrest
