I want to have one of these liners sprayed in my bed and was curious if anyone had a preference and why?

 

I also live in the Frisco, Denton area and was curious if anyone had a place with a decent price to get one of these installed.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It's all about preference actually, I like the Rhino, and some people live by line-x. The best way to find it cheap is to call around and someone might have a special going on. Try DFW camper corrall, or Truck Toys. But remember cheap is not always better.

I agree, I want it done the right way.. Just wonderig if any of the DFW members here had called around and found the best place to get it done.

Luckily for me, mine was done when I bought it

 

 

EDIT- Try PMing Darkanion, I think he semi-recently got some quotes

I went with the Line-X. My father had it in his truck, so I knew exactly what mine would be like. The texture, durability, and hardness are all to my liking. If you prefer a softer, more grippy surface than Rhinoline is the way to go. I find that the Line-X is a pretty hard surface, but stuff doesn't seem to slide around too much. I have a cargo bar to fix anything I'm too concerned about. My bed (8 foot) was done for $570 by the Line-X place.

My '04 has a Rhino and my '09 has a LineX. I prefer the LineX over the Rhino that I have, but I think the newer Rhinos are probably more on par with LineX now. I had my LineX done in Sherman actually and a the shop did a very good job, you probably don't want to go that far though.

I got a Rhino Liner from Rhino Linings of the Metroplex. It is a little far from you, though. They are off 360, just south of Hwy. 183. They did a great job and fit me in with very little notice. They claim to be the oldest Rhino dealer in the metroplex, but that isn't why I went. They were quite a bit cheaper than any of the other Rhino and Line-X places I had priced out in the DFW metroplex. They constantly run a $35 off coupon on their web site, which made mine around $380 after taxes. Hard to beat that price, especially for solid work!

I always had a Rhino (5 trucks) I thought he quality was going downhill as far as the durability of the product. Had problems with my last two trucks. Same spayer all 5. This time I went with Line-X And I like the product way better. Time will tell. But if I was to do it today it would be Line-X

I've seen Line-X displays at malls but never a Rhino Liner. I have yet to actually see/feel the Rhino Liner product. Curious if it would win me over or just remind me even more that Line-X was a good decision.

Line-X. My 2003 Chevy had it, it was great. I bought an 2007 Chevy and got the Rhino, because they were offering a coupon, big mistake. It is softer, and I tore it moving a washer! It was patched, but continues to scrap off. The Line-X also offers a Line-X plus, that doesn't fade.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.

      I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.
