I had a drop in liner made by Pendaliner. It was my second one. The reason I got rid of it was that everytime I went to unload by dirtbike I would about break my neck as the front wheel would skid as the front brake was applied backing it out. It was a reasonable priced liner and didn't allow denting of my bed. Also when I removed it there were only scuff marks and no rust after 3 1/2 years. My plan has been to go with a spray in. Right now I have been using a bed mat for a Chevy S-10. One day I was hauling some rock boulders which I had put in very carefully. Some of them must have shifted and I now I have some dents. I'm thinking the weight might have done it also. I question is now, will a spray in be able to cover up any of the denting?

You may talk to the liner technician. The can spray extra in certain areas to build an area up.... for example, the bottom the the bedliner is thicker than the sides. If he is good, he might be able to hide some of the denting, but I doubt that all of it would be hidden.

Y2kXLTSport,
I thought that might be a posibility. Is this true with Line-X also? That brand seems like a thinner application. How do you like your liner? That is a new one to me. Do they have a web site? I was looking at your signature and this may me a dumb question but what is a WMS Velocity Tube?

I don't know about LineX... someone else will have to give you that answer. I love my spray-in liner, have hauled all kinds of things from a bed full on mulch, to rocks, to furniture...... no problems at all. Gatorback - I was unable to find a website for them back when I was researching my liner, but someone else on the board recommended them. I went to check out their facility, liked what I saw and the price, so they got the job. I was able to watch the whole operation, which is something that I like to do on any work on my vehicles.
WMS Velocity tube is a replacement for the intake tube from the factory airbox to the intake. It is an alternative to the FIPKs you see discussed on the board as well as for sale in the on-line store here.
