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.

Thanks, Pete. I'll check it out. Y'think the extra weight of the liner
will help me stop more quickly? I love the 4-wheel disc brakes.

What is wrong with spending $300 to protect a new truck that costs 100X
that?

26x. g Because I don't feel the product is worth the price. Nor did
I feel that $170 for the bed rails was worth it, so I bought a $20
stick of Unistrut, hacked it in half, and put it up with $10 worth of
hardware and hangers. The yellow zinc coating blends nicely with my
gold bed color.


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.

Had I thought of that, I would have ordered them then, too, but it'll
be a long while until I need service on this new beastie.
