I paid 0 for mine :o) I made the dealer add it before I signed. Here is the only pic I have. I can get moere if you want.

I like how that doesn't wrap over the top, but that it does cover the top of the rails.

 

 

Yeah, I liked how it came out as well.

 

Justin, I think you need a bigger truck to carry all of that cargo :wtf:

 

HAHA, tell me about it. The bag is holding my wet tie-down straps...left them in the rain the night before.

Also, can some of you fellows that have the liner (especially over the rails) post some pics?

I wouldn't go with Line-X. Maybe it was just the local shop, maybe it's actually their policy, but their 'lifetime warranty against gouging/peeling/flaking' is bull. My father-in-law bought a truck and had it Line-X'd and had no problems for a while. Then he had some steel in the back, and when he took it out the Line-X scraped right out in a few spots. We took it back over there and they refused to honor the warranty because 'he put something in there that scraped it off.' Now, most people I know who get a spray-in liner get one because they plan on putting things in their bed that, you know, would tear up the paint, and a spray in bedliner is supposed to keep that from happening. This one didn't, it peeled right off in a few spots. Anyway, he never did get it fixed, and Line-X has been getting plenty of free advertising. People see the stickers on his truck, ask how he likes it and he tells them this little story. Plenty of people have decided not to get Line-X after talking to him.

 

I just got my done today over the rails (Rhino liner) through my GMC dealer for $440 + tax. Looks good :)

On another note, I see a lot of trucks in my area with a Line-X coating and they have either the yellow Line-X decal on the rear window or a plastic logo affixed to the inside of the bed. Is this something that Line-X automatically does as part of the installation? I hate having advertising on a vehicle regardless of how good or bad a particular installation is.

Ask them not to put it on there. If they refuse, go elsewhere. :)

I took the sticker off. It's rule #7: No stickers on any of my vehicles. (except the "4x4" sticker). Line-x does put a placcard (sp?)inside the bed and spray over it. It looks ok though. Here is a pic of it. They put one on each side of the bed.

EDIT: The picture was taken in January and those white spots are ice. Not a defect in the Line-X

mine cost me $550 from the linex store in bellingham washington....that was for over the rails. It was a little pricey but after using pretty much every spray in liner company from a few different dealers it is by far the best job i have even gotten done.

This is why I always get the warranties or guarantees in writing, have you contacted Line X customer service and asked to speak to a district rep or tried taking the truck to another Line X location?

David, I hate to break it to you, but it wasn't "free". Nothing is free. You paid for it, trust me.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
