Roll on bed liner for short bed taco

I am looking at doing a roll on bed line for my double cab short box. I know its plastic but I am looking for traction for my pup, he jumps in and seems to be hesitant as he is sliding around when he lands in the bed. I don't leave him in the back when moving but it is helpful to have him in the bed while prepping for our adventures.

What roll on bed liners has anyone used with success? How much do I need to cover the bed floor, sidewalls and tailgate?

 

Ya no that would be a fail, if anything get a rubber bed mat from toyota.

Thanks

Brett

I thought I had seen them for around $55, and keep an eye on the classifieds here. They turn up every now and then.

IMO, you'd be wasting your money to try a roll on bed liner.

 

I just noticed you are in Dallas too. Keep an eye on Craigslist as well. You should have no problem finding a bed mat.

Good luck!

 

I bought a bed mat from my dealer for around $100. I bought it mainly for my dog. She loves it and doesnt slide around at all. Worth every penny

 

Outstanding! Thanks guys that was what I figured I was going to hear, I will hit up craigslist

 

There is some stuff called raptor liner that is a DIY spray on bed liner 2 part epoxy for $100-150 I've heard good things about. Kit comes with an air gun and 4 liters with hardener.most say 1 liter does one coat on a standard bed didn't sound to bad to me. My wifes sisters father-in-law (if U followed that I'm impressed) owns a paint shop and he said that it should ha e no problem adhearing to composite.

 

I got a DeeZee rubber bed mat from Jegs for $51. With the bed on the 2nd gens, this is going to be the option that saves you the most time and money. I have no reservations about putting my eggs and bread in the bed next to a gallon of milk and 5 rattlecans of paint. Nothing moves around back there. My bed mat is one of my favorite mods, even counting the lift I haven't installed yet.

 

Duplicolor undercoating spray. $7 a can. 10 minute job. You can mask the sides if you want so you only hit the floor.

 

I agree with others regarding a rubber mat. I don't think any bedliner application will add anymore traction than the composite bed, especially if it's remotely wet. The only way I would do any bedliner paint is when the bed is in need of repair/makeover. When that time comes, I would avoid Herculiner and go with roll on Monstaliner or U-pol Raptor if spraying. Herculiner is very rough on bare skin and will tend to fade. Cheaper Duplicolor or Rustoleum bedliner products will not hold up long term or abuse.

 

The bed already has texture so spraying in a liner will have plenty to adhere to. If you want more grip, dust in a layer of fine sand on a wet coat, then top coat that to lock it in.

 

i bought mine from a local dealer and the price for the mat was less than $100 with taxes

 

Tractor supply some tuff stuff. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/rubber-horse-stall-mat-4-ft-x-6-ft $39.99

 

Rubber mat acquired, $60 I might try some Tuff Stuff on thetailgate cover to see if it will give him a bit more grip. Thanks everyone!

 

What kind, and where did you get it?

Always glad to help!

 

I saw this thread, it pushed me again. I had seen the DZ one and the Tacoma one. I can never find the used Tacoma one, and the dealer wants more than I care to spend on a dumb mat. I went DZ.

 

I used Monster spray, the same spray I use on my surfboards deck
