Line-x versus Rhino liner?

[JohnX]

I'm trying to decide which one to do the bed of my dodge. Please don't waste your breath telling me to try some herculiner or other roll on crap. I have had that before, but it just won't handle the abuse of jeep parts rolling around on it. So, that being said, I really only have 2 questions...


1. Is there much if any difference in quality between the two?

2. Can anyone say how much theirs cost for a short box truck, including the top rails?


Also, please don't recommend some other company, unless you know they are local for me.

Line-X is by far harder and will take more abuse. The down side is that it has a rougher texture and needs that texture to keep items from sliding around due to its hardness and lack of grip from being so hard. Rhino liner is softer, more rubbery so to speak compared to Line-X. This makes it a little less durable but it is also more grippy and has a little smoother texture. It really depends on what you are going to be using it for and how much abuse you need it to take. For light to medium duty I would go with Rhino lining, thats just my opinion because I didnt care much for the 40 grit type texture of the Line-X. If you need extreme duty use then Line-X without a doubt. Oh, and I have owned both and the cost is about the same. I think I paid about $350 for above the rail. That was a few years ago so prices my have went up.

I guess I'll go with the Line-X if theres nobody else with experience in the matter?

Thanks SJD...I was almost amazed with how easy to read your response was. I wish we had a few more people willing to use a little bit of grammar on here.

We've used both and bullhide line and line-X so far has held up the best. That bullhide stuff when wet was more slick than a greased floor.
