From what I have learned off of here and other sites I've learned that Line X Xtra is by far the best liner out there. I have an apointment this Friday to get my Line X Xtra put in... I can't wait!!!
More less, Rhino Liner has a tendency of fading real bad and turnng chalky color. Moreless turning to crap. And from what ppl have said on here and on others sites, and from what I have seen in person, Line X is really the best way to go. It's the toughest, longest lasting, best looking one out there. And the Xtra just makes it much more durable. Suposed to be 5 times stronger then steel. I don't know about that, but we'll see. The Xtra is also supposed to hold the color a lot longer then the normal base LineX. So I don't know if it helped or not lol, but in my opinion Line X is the way to go.

+1 on the line-x I would highly recomend adding the extra to it for the $100 its definately worth every penny! It will stay as bright and glossy as the day you bought it!

so i have been reading about the line x xtra and have heard that they absorb water which i can stand but my dirt bike leaks a little oil so will it absorb into the bed liner too?

Not sure what the basic Line-X will absorb (nothing, I think), but I can tell you that the Line-X Xtra sheds gasoline like it was water. My lawmower, weedeater, the gas cans for both have spilled a little on my Xtra liner.. no worries at all, the little bit spilled hasn't changed the color, texture, nothing like that..

My impression is that what I have, Line-X Xtra, just rolls anything right off, much as clear-coat does.

I can say that Line-X is pretty freakin' tough.. and at least as far as I can tell gasoline has no effect on the stuff.

I have spilled various liquids in my bed from gas to different detailing products. Nothing has stained it! Just a quick hose down and its good as new!

I'll just throw in a quick plug for BedRug. I had a BedRug in my last truck (F-350) and I have one in my current truck. I will never use anything else. They are very tough, they clean easily, and they are so easy on the knees when you have to crawl around back there. When mine gets dusty/dirty I just take the Dyson vacuum out there and vacuum up the dirt. Plastic carpet is a wonderful thing.

Yup, I'll second that plug.

I love my bedrug, especially with my camper shell. The only complaint I have is that sand gets stuck in there and it is very hard to vacuum out ALL of it.
