Metal protection question (truck bed liner)
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? TIA -- Instant Gratification Takes Too Long! ------------------------------------- |

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. |

Pays for itself rapidly if you carry heavy metal objects that are pushed nito your truck with forklifts. i |

Metal protection question (truck bed liner)
back in the day, before double walled truck beds, I built plywood side and
floor protectors. Of course, that was a lot of years ago... My parents, bought their first truck about 15 years ago. It has a bed liner in it. Mom keeps a blanket behind the set, so she can carry loads in the bed and not scratch the bed liner... I double over laughing everytime she pulls the blanket out..... But, there are not scratches in the bed liner!!!!! bob in phx "Pete C." wrote in message . net... Larry Jaques wrote: I have had a drop-in liner in my old F-150 for a dozen years and loved it.

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. b.w. |

Y'think the extra weight of the liner will help me stop more quickly? I love the 4-wheel disc brakes. 60-0 in 159'. 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. -- Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion.

Thanks, Pete. I'll check it out. Y'think the extra weight of the liner will help me stop more quickly? Yea, probably by .001" I love the 4-wheel disc brakes. 60-0 in 159'. Disk are nice, particularly for off road use since they are self cleaning, but properly sized drums work well too. 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. Unistrut is remarkably handy stuff to have around. I keep some assorted lengths of the deep version on had as well as a small toolbox full of nuts, bolts and brackets. 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. Yea, but what will you have for reading material while making a deposit at the porcelain bank??? |

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 always buy the factory manual set, too, and check it for gotchas like jacking / towing restrictions, difficult maintenance operations, or special tools which I can usually buy cheap in a discount store. I bought the factory bed liner for my truck one year later when the dealer was selling them off at half price. It's good general protection but when hauling machinery I replace it with a plywood floor, front bed & window protector made of PT planks and a crane in the rear attached by the bed bolts, with solid tie-down eyes low in all 4 corners.

Doesn't matter whether it's 'slippery' or 'sticky' bed coating, or a molded 'drop in bedliner', if I slide in a pallet of anything heavy into the truck I always put a layer of plywood or chipboard in the bed first. Two layers of plywood if you plan to skid the first pallet to the front of the bed by pushing it with the second pallet. Then your load has something sacrificial to slide against, as wood pallets ALWAYS potentially have loose nail heads and/or gravel and rocks sticking out on the bottom friction surface. You could even embed abrasives like that in plastic or press-molded pallets. My utility bed is steel diamond-tread, and I still do that. Don't want to mess up the paint too bad. -- Bruce -- |

Metal protection question (truck bed liner)
On Sat, 15 Mar 2008 17:23:16 GMT, with neither quill nor qualm, "Tom
Gardner" quickly quoth: "Larry Jaques" wrote in message .. . On Sat, 15 Mar 2008 04:10:07 GMT, with neither quill nor qualm, "Tom Gardner" quickly quoth: "Larry Jaques" wrote in message ... 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? Roll on a coat of Prussian Blue. That way you'll never put anything in there, so it will stay perfect! You could lend the truck to pesky friends and relatives...they'll never ask again. Gonna loan me a barrel? Thanks, buddy. You could probably get by with a five gallon bucket... I don't know. It just doesn't go very far, does it? -- Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. -- Thomas Jefferson |

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |
