Need advice on spray in liner

For an xmas gift for my bf, i want to get him a sprayed in bed liner, he has a 2001 tacoma, Ive been reading about Rhino, Line-x and armacoat. Not sure which is the best to go with, and i dont know what over the rail means lol, so if someone can help me out that would be great!!

 

Over the rail means the bed liner extends onto the top side of the bed rails. Over the rail is nice because if you put things in the bed from the side, you can set them down on the bed rails without scratching the paint.

Line-X is certainly one of the best, if not the best you can get but it's pricey. Rhino will hold up very well also and I've never heard of armacoat (doesn't mean it's not good, just not familiar with it). Line-X also has color matched bed liner also so it will match the paint color of the truck instead of being black. If you go that route, make sure you get the UV treatment so it doesn't fade out over time. If I were going to do it myself, I'd go Line-X.

Over the rail application


Under the rail application, this is a plastic bed liner but just to show you the difference (note the top of the bed is still the color of the truck, no bedliner applied)

 

Welome to the board-Pretty awesome of you to come find a forum to get help like this...Your guy is lucky!!

Over the rail means that it covers the top of the truck bed sides as opposed to just the interior of the bed itself. Like that.

You'll get different opinions about bed liner- Lots of them here
Good luck!!

Wonder where you found that pic?

 

Here then Images...

 

thanks that helps a lot, also what would be a good bug deflector for the front, i dont want to get a garbage one you know

 

Do you know he wants one of those? They seem to be something people either like or hate. That being said, check out Autoanything.com. They have decent prices and usually ship for free. Any of the brands make a 'cheap' version but Lund, ERG and Weathertech seem to make decent stuff. There are a lot of different profiles, some have rubber bumps that sit on the hood for a tight fit and others are more rigid and sit away from the front end a bit. Lots of options.

Bed liner and a bug guard?? Sounds like you're buttering him up for something!

 

lol nah not buttering him up, he just deserves it , but anyway he has these little dents on the front of his hood so he wanted the deflector to cover them up, so i guess i dont need too much of a pricey one, just a decent one

 

I've used ERG and Weather tech before. You might get some other ideas at the weathertech site...Floor mats, window vents, etc.

 

Side window deflectors are awesome and very useful. Just sayin...

 

I have one of these for a bug deflector. Very sturdy so it doesn't flap against the hood. Best cost effective choice in my opinion. http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/61A1051A0A0.aspx

Rhino lining ftw.
