Is my bed liner over or under the rail?

    I'll be the first to admit my Tundra is a pavement princess and probably will never be "used as a truck." I don't haul anything or load anything in my bed except maybe my snowboard this time of year.

    I'm looking at getting a cheap tri-fold tonneau cover for the bed and I'm trying to figure out if I have an "Over the rail bedliner" or "under the rail bedliner." They all say very easy to install if you have under the rail bedliner. Looking at comparisons online and in pictures I'm having trouble understanding if the bedrails are the top sides of the bed with the black plastic on top? (When I look up pictures most of the time it shows the metal exposed for under the rail). To me, I'd think the "bed rails" are these rail looking tracks that these bed cleats? are on?

    Sorry again for dumb question!

    under the rail.
    looks like you have line-x type bed coating vs the drop in plastic bed liner. Can you confirm ? If so, very easy install. 20 min top.

    Perfect, that's what I thought. Seeing pictures of the exposed metal sides everytime I searched "under the rail" confused me.

    [QUOTE You've got a sweet lookin' truck too:thumbsup:[/QUOTE]

    Thank you! I know most on here are not too keen on Chrome and neither am I, but I actually think it blends well in my particular case.
