Bed Liner or Tri Fold with Mat

Need some help deciding on weather to do LineX or a tri fold cover and bed mat. Any suggestions/recommendations would be great. Pro and Cons????

 

All of them.

 

I have all 3 and really like the look.

 

You guys are sure good at trying to spend my money!!!!!!!!!!! LOL !!!!!!!!!!

 

I have no idea what you are referring to.

 

For the price of all 3 I might as well get a camper shell and call it a day. Registration would go down for me here in California.

 

Line x and mx4 is what I got

 

Really?

 

Same here.

 

x2... No kidding?

 

Ya need some Taco cleats on your front rail. Not sure if I see a rail but said what the hey and put them in

 

I have Line-X, bet mat and a Truxedo Lo Pro QT Roll up tonneau cover.

 

Yep they're rated 110 lbs each and just a smaller version of the big ones you have. 1/2 the price too

 

Im not a contractor so line x is honestly overkill for me. I have a bed mat and a tri fold currently which i love. I could never have a truck without a tri fold from now on. I do want to spray a upol or monstaliner tho

 

How to Change from Commercial License Plates to Auto License Plates Check List

If you have a station wagon, pickup with a camper permanently attached, a van modified for human habitation, or a multipurpose vehicle you can change from commercial plates to auto plates. The requirements are:

California Certificate of Title California Certificate of Title (Pink Slip).

Certification of Vehicle for Human Habitation A completed Certification of Vehicle for Human Habitation (REG 256A).

Commercial license plates The commercial license plates on the vehicle.

 

I kind of feel the same @Hbjeff . $600 for LineX or $750 for a tri fold and mat.

 

You can afford a 2019 4x4 and want to save a few hundred. Hell I got a 2015 and am truck poor from this thing and still don't have the rims and tires I want.

I just read where a pick up is considered a commercial vehicle in Kali. Man they fuck you guys every way they can

 

It’s not about afford or not. It’s about value. Line x is an amazing product. But im sure more than half of all truck beds sprayed with line x never get used at all.

 

It’s not really about saving a few hundred @7.62Tundra . It’s more about spending $600-$1000 the best way. I also hear you on being truck poor. This forum will do it to you!!!

 

I would have to think the term "camper" means the living quarter type. Also, the term permanently attached is probably very important. A regular shell is not permanent. I hope I'm wrong because commercial fees are a decent chunk.

 

I see your point. Better to have it and not need it for the liner plus it'll help the resale value. But man why would anyone own a pick up and not use the bed? One trip to dump with throwing old shit laying around the house and scratching the paint would pay for it. It really helps the curb appeal at resale time. At least it did for me when I bought mine.

 

Line-X first, then Rugged 2 tri fold cover and then a bed mat. That was the order I had it done.

 

Regular camper shell qualifies. It is one of the reasons i have considered getting getting one for years

 

I went with tri-fold (Leer) and a bed rug.
If I need to haul sand or dirt I can just lay a tarp down. (Sounds like manual labor and I’m allergic!)

The bed rug works for me because lashing stuff down with Velcro straps works REALLY well. Stuff will *not* move even in a panic stop.

 

I agree. I obviously have an ARE cap...and Line X IMO is always a no brainer ...and coupled with BEDRUG is the perfect fit if you have dogs that ride in the bed.

 

Well dang. That's pretty awesome. I had one on my 1st gen for a few years. I over paid haha.

 

I have both but if I had to give one up, I'd give up the liner and go with the mat and tri fold. It's much more likely that I have something in the back that I want to cover and lock vs hauling something that will gouge the bed.

 

I'm in for all 3. I bought my truck with a roll up tonneau cover and the rubber bed mat both already in there. I have a plastic bedliner in my Tacoma and when I had my Cummins I had one of them cheap $100 kits sprayed in and those both suck compared to the real brand bedliner companies like Line-X. so its on the list to get Line-X soon. I also am debating on a trifold compared to this leather tonneau. I do not have supports in the middle of the bed so mine sags and holds water when it rains and it might not make it through winter snow packup I don't know. anyone got anything to say opinion wise between the roll up tonneau and a tri-fold?

 

After giving it some thought I think I will probably go with the tri fold and bed mat. I can always do LineX down the road if I want. If the bed gets dinged I can always take the tri fold and mat off and throw in a plastic bed liner for resale if that ever happens.
