I have had a drop-in liner in my old F-150 for a dozen years and loved
it. Now I need to protect my new Tundra bed.

Has anyone here used Herculiner? It's a $100 roll-on kit of
polyurethane and rubber granules for texture. Sounds good.

I'm not willing to pay $300 for a fancy liner or expensive spray-in by
a professional. What other options does a cheapa&H&H&H&H&H&Hfrugal
guy like me have?

I've not used it personally, but I've read a few reviews and all were
good. Your other option would probably be a bed coating that Duplicolor
makes, though I haven't seen any reviews on it.

What is wrong with spending $300 to protect a new truck that costs 100X
that? Do you also not want to spend the $100 on a set of factory service
manuals (or CDs) too? I order the service manuals at the same time I
order the truck, and by the time the truck arrives I know every detail
of it.


i used SEM tintable spray on urethane bed liner. sprayed on with a schutz
gun. it's ok, i like it, but i think a slippery liner is better. this one
is a kinda rubbery urethane non-slip liner. after using is for a while i
came to think a HARD slippery coating would probably be better than a
rubbery non-slip coating. (so you can push two pallet loads into the bed,
and pull them back out. once i put a pallet in back and there was a nail
sticking out of the pallet, it slashed the rubbery liner, i wondered if
there was a HARD slippery liner if the nail woulda just skidded across the
surface w/o cutting it.) i think it was about $150 for the kit. you can
get a pint of color matched paint and mix it in to match the color of your
truck, so you don't have to settle for black if you don't want to.
