Opinions needed for Bed protection.....

[Humvee21]

What I would do is simple:


[*]Find out who your local dealerships use for their Line-X work. Start with the Ford dealerships; ask who they trust their customers' cars to and ask for a referral. You may end up saving some money via a referral vs. being an off-the-street customer anyway.



[*]There have to be some local car-forums for folks in the Atlanta area. Atlanta is just too damn big for this not to be the case. Sign on to those forums and search for the obvious key-words. Register if you need to and ask for the same referrals for good Line-X franchises.



[*]Barring success with either of those, call or email Line-X direct, state your concerns and ask for the name and contact info for their franchise in Atlanta that has the most experience and the least customer complaints.

Great idea, Double Tap. I will do just that when I get mine. Nashville isn't too far from me... Which dealer did you go to?

I used Line-X of Franklin, TN because of their close proximity to where I work. It didn't hurt that they had done a few other Raptors recently including two belonging to Titans players.

Anyone have DualLiner? Relatively new company.
Polyethylene sides and a HD rubber bed.
Will accommodate Tailgate Step. Don't know about Extender.
Made in the USA with Lifetime warranty.

I just put my Dualiner in last week and love it. It goes well with the step protector on the sides and the mat is as non slip as they get. The mat keeps from trapping water like normal drop in beds. Honestly, it took about 15 minutes to install it and it fits well.. I also went with the Truxedo Lowpro tonneau, also great but I have had it before. I am considering trading up to a 2012 in the near future and these can go with, unlike a spray in.

Oh and the hard sides do have notches in them that can be drilled out for the extender, but I dont have one.

Found this last night while surfing.

I will compare this to the Bak rollback.

Another Nice retractable version. Looks like the same price as the Bak ($1,000).

Retrax

I have heard good things about Retrax. The Retrax Pro is supposedly the best roll cover money can buy. At $1,475 it better be.

One of the best parts of the BEDRUG is it covers those black plastic rib things on the tailgate if you have the step. Before you couldn't really sit on it because it was so uncomfortable, now, its like sitting on a padded bench.

The entire bed is padded as well, awesome.

People who see the bedrug who are not familar with it , are imdiatley like wow that is awesome. They can't beleive when I tel them I have had black dirt on it from moving trees and all the outher shit you get in the back of a truck. They imdiatley presume you don't use it as a truck as much as a trunk as it still looks new.

ok got my truck comming very soon... you bastards got me thinking about the bedrug now.... what worries me is the zippers.... is there like weather stripping that goes over it or something? i do like the padding idea. the other thing is with the bed extender and tie downs.... ive seen others say to just cut a slit in the bed rug and push those thru, others said to just drill it thru.... but wouldnt the extra space between the bed and tie down add alot more stress on the bolt? and wouldnt cutting a slit in it cause a leak point?

so im still debating.... i do like the look and permanentness of line-x, pluss the ability to do the wheel wells. but i like the padded bed alot too. and i will be getting a tonno, most likley a Bakflip. thanks guys!
