My previous truck had the spray in by LineX, never again. I went back to the drop the dealer $200. But my favorite is the fabric bedding. Both the drop in and the fabric style allow me to slide things and their soft on my knees. Now this of course it’s how you use Truck bed. I go RVing a lot and the bed is for gear. The rug bedding material is the same stuff being used in my wheel wells and I have a Tano cover on it anyway.
Had a couple drop in bed liners. They suck! Dirt gets under the them around the edges and through the gaping anchor access holes and scuffs the paint underneath anyway. Present truck has a spray in with a fitted used piece of 60” UPS conveyor belting over it to protect the bed from piercings and my knees from pain. Carpet! Wait until some gas cans seep into that.
Rubber mat is the way to go. Keeps stuff from sliding, comfortable to crawl around on. But best thing is it's easy to remove to clean under, or if you need to haul gravel or something.
NWF QUARTZ BEACH SAND OPTIONS>? MOPAR bed liner? or HERCuliner spray-in/ roll on? we do a lot of beach activities, camping, hauling, loading etc.. your thoughts?
I take it that if you decide to use a drop-in bedliner to save money, you will basically need to remove it to dump the water and and air it out after it rains? I can't park my pickup in a garage. I would think that after a heavy rain that overcomes the short sidewalls, rainwater would get in and under the mat and rust to bed if it is not removed.
Howdy, partner! The rainwater isn't a big concern. Probably best not to keep the truck parked for weeks at an incline where water collects in the bed against the cab. As long as there is a slight slope to the rear or you are driving, the water will run right out.
Thanks for the video. I still have one question: You mentioned the plastic liner may cause some scratches to the paint. To avoid scratches, do you think the carpet style liner will prevent scratches better? The use will be always carefully putting items in/out of the bed, such as camping gear. I will also get a bed cover to protect from rain and carwash days. What are your thoughts?
Howdy, partner! I would say the carpet style would probably prevent scratches better. But, a few scratches under the bedliner won’t hurt anything. Let us know what you choose!
@@MRGREGSHOWTO thanks for responding. Thinking of using it instead of carpeting for my bass tracker. Should seal the wood and be durable I would think. What to you think?
Great idea! You may want to use a lighter color to keep heat low. I used this DIY product a few years back on a pop up camper roof and it has held up great! amzn.to/48wVa3J
@@MRGREGSHOWTO the aluminum boat is in great shape ,but,being 30 yrs old the plywood floors are showing quite a bit of wear. The pieces are good enough to use as a template for cutting new to fit. I was hoping doping both sides of the new would seal it and also be non slip.
Howdy, partner! Never seen that before, but would be a really great option! Spray-in liners have particles mixed in for grip so it would have to be a new formula with clear particles as well as seal coat.
I’d like to chime in my first pickup truck in 2001 I had a Rhino Liner the tuf grip over the rail And I put a cap on the truck it looked like an orange peel texture things didn’t slide around in the exterior over rail that the cap didn’t cover color did fade but no big deal. 2011 second pickup truck over the rail Rhino extreme which as per the shop competed with Line-x…. Great product stuff slid around in truck bed ok not a big deal. My company provided pickup truck boss sent truck to Line-x… Line-x is very good 👍. My Jeep gladiator didn’t have a factory liner dealer sent it to a shop that does Scorpion Liners… But dealer went with the economy application which is the thinnest application… the display at that shop even the thickest application doesn’t look as good as “LINE-X” my boss purchased a 2nd pickup truck with the factory spray in bed liner for himself Looks real good 👍 My neighbor has a brand called speed liner which looks very Industrial grade… My 2 cents plastic drop in bed liners scream cheapskate
Thanks for sharing, partner! Definite pros and cons to all options. Personally, I'm still a fan of an old fashioned drop-in, but like the spray in as well.
I’ve had a bed rug on my Silverado for over 120,000 miles. Looks and performs like new - takes continuous abuse and is by far the best liner I’ve ever used.
I prefer a spray on for the rust resistance, and just throw a carpet remnant on top to further protect your bed and provide comfort.
Great idea, partner!

Agreed, partner! Thanks for sharing your experiences with our community.
Helped me decide big time. Thank you!
You’re welcome, partner! Did you make a final selection?
Love to see this comparison , the other option is dual liner that has a rubber bed mat or a rubber bed mat from rough country or husky
Thanks, partner! That’s true - I’ve never used one of those, but would love to check them out!

Definitely a well put together informative video that weights the pros and cons for different use cases
Appreciate that, partner! Happy to help.
spray-in + fabric liner
i think i'll do that
thank you so much, this helped me make my decision for my first truck!!
Awesome, partner! Hope you enjoy the new ride!
Good Overview. I’ve never seen the bed rug style.
Thanks, partner! It’s a very nice option!
i got a line-x spray-in and a husky rubber mat to lay on top
Just an fyi, most spray in companies offer a “premium” spray in liner that supposedly offer better uv protection to prevent fading
Rubber mat is the way to go. Keeps stuff from sliding, comfortable to crawl around on. But best thing is it's easy to remove to clean under, or if you need to haul gravel or something.
I'll choose spray-in and put a plastic bed liner on it as double layers. Perfect option 😉
Hey partner! I like your style!
A rubber mat on top of a drop-in bed liner keeps things from sliding around and adds extra protection.
Great idea, partner! Thank you!

That sounds pretty cool! I am not familiar with quartz bedliner, but I bet its nice.

Bed Rug all the way!!

Will bed liner adhere to ply wood? Maybe after the surface is rough sanded?
Yes, partner! Should adhere to plywood just fine. What project are you working on?

Hey guy good video one question can you get a spray bed liner that clear so you can see your beautiful color bed on the truck ?? That’s what I want
Howdy, partner! Never seen that before, but would be a really great option! Spray-in liners have particles mixed in for grip so it would have to be a new formula with clear particles as well as seal coat.
@@MRGREGSHOWTO hi yes it’s a clear coat spray but am not sure if it will protect it good enough to store plywood and other things etc 💪

Drop-in liners will rub all of the paint off of the bed of the truck over time
Bed rug over a spray in liner.
Water and debris can accumulate under a drop in bed liner creating rust !
Thanks for the insight, partner! That would definitely be a con.
The spray and rug liners do not protect against dents and holes.
As where the drop in does
Howdy, partner! I am a big fan of the drop-in's myself. But, different folks have different preferences. Appreciate you tuning in!
Who in their right mind would choose the bed-bug mold liner? If you don't have a camper shell it's a definite no.
Howdy partner! I’ve never had one personally, but I was very impressed after checking them out. Would be very nice if covered for sure.
I’ve had a bed rug on my Silverado for over 120,000 miles. Looks and performs like new - takes continuous abuse and is by far the best liner I’ve ever used.
People who take the time to understand how they actually work... They're fantastic.
@@MRGREGSHOWTOthe rain doesn’t make the carpet smell nasty and moldy?
I see you’re a Baltimore Orioles Fan. Ok you’re good…..
Haha! Appreciate it partner!
Brooksie was my favorite growing up
Drop in should be illegal. It’s rubbish. Bed rug….🤣☠️☠️☠️
