I've seen this referenced on the Forum...

but never seen it before. A nice, new full size pick up truck drove past me today, and it had been TOTALLY Rhino-lined. Never woulda believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes...

Common for storm chasers and hot shotters. Sheetmetal becomes way stronger.

Just don't get it on your hootus.

Saw one the other day. With a 12" lift kit. And Lambo doors

I've thought about doing that to the miata before, even going as far as to get wetsuit like seat covers and installing drain plugs in the floor. I think I'll save it for a more appropriate vehicle though.

I always thought it would be a good way to prevent rust from forming, and make cleaning a breeze.

Actually what I've heard from some jeep guys is that it's a PITA to clean, surprisingly.

Saw an Ford Expedition totally bedlined. Was a year old. That's a $55,000+ vehicle. Not something I could do to new paint.

I had my XJ done below the waistline (bottom half) and yeah, it was a PITA to clean. And even when you washed it with sponge, etc....it came out not looking very clean. But then again, a Jeep shouldn't be clean anyhow....

This cant be said enough.

Man, I made a hootus reference in the last bedliner thread and didn't even get a chuckle. I've lost my funny.

Can rhino liner be color changed to say a beige or cream color?

i'm going to do my '16 ram 3500 from the lower body line down. i did the same to my old suburban and i did the fender flares of the avalanche and it's pretty darn tough. my wife drove it into the split rail wood fence at work and didn't hurt the flare. i figure it'll prevent all the rock chips from gravel getting kicked off the tires, especially since my house, my parents, and my in laws all have gravel and the tires pick up chunks and whip them up at the truck when on the road.

also racecar:

my hood, headlight buckets, air dam, rockers, and tail panel are all bedliner. it's tough and i got zero glare off the hood in the florida sun. no scuff marks from eating cones either.

There are a few companies that make a tint-able bed liner. U-Pol Raptor Liner I think has a version that can be. Raptor Liner is what I used on the interior of my XJ and I've been very pleased with it.

If you're thinking of diy'ingredients it, check out Grizzly Grip online. Available in colors, reasonable cost, made and shipped from Florida. I used it on my camper roof and it worked great.

Head to toe Line-x, You can still see the factory window sticker on the windshield. A soft bristle brush and some suds works just fine.

How does that stuff work as undercoat? Or is POR15+Normal undercoat still the go to? I was thinking of putting it under the RX3 since the sheet metal is basically made from soup cans.

I'm highly considering it on the old truck I'm working on.

Can I get a link to the hootus thread? It was before my time and I'd like to read it after hearing so much about it.

I think the type of liner would make a difference, also. I've had bedliners in all off my trucks and the most recent one was more "sticky" than others. On one hand it's nice that things don't slide around, but then again, if I need to slide something, it's much more difficult.

For exterior, I'd assume you'd want one that was harder and more glossy. That would make it easier to wash off and clean, vs. like I have in mine. Mine seems to hold dirt and dust.
