So question about the spray on bed liners. My truck didn’t have it from the factory. Planned on getting a LineX. Noticed the tailgate has a plastic panel on it. Do they spray over that, take it off or just not touch the tailgate?? How are the ones with the factory bed liner done? Is the tailgate sprayed or does it have the plastic panel??

my plastic piece is bed-lined to match from the factory. Line-X should be able to coat it no problem, their spray on liners can go on almost anything.

So the factory sprays over the plastic piece with the cup holders??

I removed mine and just had the tail gate bed lined.


So you lost the cup holders? Or are they stamped in the metal?

I’ll double check for you in the morning

Didn't think anyone needed cup holders on the tailgate, I don't go to sit in the parking lot to drink lol.

 

It's just a normal tailgate with the plastic. Stuff doesn't slide on it if it's down and I prefer that.

I will definitely be dropping the tailgate and drinking some beers in the driveway. Need the cup holders. Don’t judge me ?

LineX did not spray my tail gate. Left it with the plastic.

Did they ask you or just didn’t touch it? Does it look mismatched?

Have an appointment on Friday morning. Can you share a couple pics so I can see what it looks like?

I have a 2016 but it's nearly the same.

 

The first picture is 14-18 body style and the last picture should be a 2019+ tailgate and how it looks without it.

My dealer did BulletLiner and I love it. Feels better and more substantial than the LineX I had on a previous F150 from 2012. My 2016 Tacoma had a plastic bed to begin with so didn't have to have a liner. But this BulletLiner is pretty nice. We'll see if it holds up as well as the LineX. They also did not spray my tailgate, I still have the plastic and the cup holders.

 

And yes, cupholders on the tailgate (as shallow and puny as they are) are an awesome thing I didn't know that I needed, until I had them. Was out at the boat ramp the other day drinking some coffee with my girl and just people watching for an hour before we hit the water. Can't balance your cup on the tailgate otherwise without them.

Order code description says the tailgate composite panel is not sprayed.

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
