Linex Vs Rhino Liner?

Rhino costs less because it is a cheaper product. It fades faster than line-X and you'll find differences in the ability to repair and the in the warranties. If there is a dealer near you, the arma-coat is comparable with line-x and usually less expensive.

I have Rhino in my truck for almost three years. It has faded a little, but I don't care, because I put on a soft roll on cover about 2 years ago. The bottom line is this, I have put pea gravel, regular gravel, egg rock, and bark mulch in the bed, and hand shoveled out all that stuff many many times and have dragged the shovel over the liner and have had no problems. I have never had a tear, rip, gouge or any damage to the liner and bed. All I know is that it is very important that the truck bed is properly prepped and the application is done correctly. I have also seen Line-X and think it is good stuff also, I just preferred the "rubbery" aspect of Rhino liner, and the fact that heavy stuff does not slide around.

I've had both in trucks and in my latest one went with the rhinoliner. The prices are similar and they both have lifetime warranties. I like the rhinliner better for the grippier surface and is sprayed on a little thicker.

I have owned both and prefer the Linex. Wears better, looks better, and better traction when wet. My current truck has Rhino and it looks like a$$ after one year.

Pick one and be happy. Both do a good job.

I prefer the look of Line-X, but both are good quality liners.

Time to settle this once and for all :lol:

 

I have a decent size jackhammer laying around...I need 2 volunteers. One truck with Rhino Liner and the other with Linex. 5 minutes should do the trick. The one with the least damage wins :dunno:

:fume: Now we need some volunteers!

 

EDIT: HawkeyeOC - liking the mustang :P

 

Thanks! It's a fun car. No power steering or brakes, no a/c, no auto trans, or handling worth a darn! But I don't really care...it's just fun!

I went with line-x because it was a thinner coat. I could put my CMS right back in without any filing or shaving, and I prefer the texture over the rhinoliner's rubbery feel.

Either one will serve the same purpose. I think Line-X is a harder finish, however items might slide around a bit, where as Rhino liner has a rubber consistancy to it and items tend not to move around as much. As for thickness, I think it depends on the person that applies, regardless of which brand you go with. As for fading, I think Line-X has an option for UV protection, but I didn't know about it when I had mine done. I have had both and I prefer th Line-X. The Line-X is a bit more expensive, but the dealership gave me a public safety discount, so it was about the same price as Rhino Liner.

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
