Jackrabbit41 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So I need a headliner and I'm tired of my plastic insert Bedliner. My dad has linex in his Silverado and it's awesome. I would love to get some but it's $$$ and i can't leave my truck somewhere for a couple days cause I got to get around. My question is, is herculiner worth it and would it be good to put in the cab as a headliner? A lot of people say it doesn't fade to much and it's also a good insulator. Or should I just get linex and a actual headliner with sound dampening material? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't think it'll be a good enough insulator to keep the heat of the sun at bay. if you go with hurculiner for the bed, be aware that prep is the key to adhesion. follow the steps and don't skimp out on anything. also, do NOT get any on your body or anything you care about.

GrizzzzBear Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Get the Replacement Headliner, unless you want your head to feel like it is in a Broiler, as you are driving. As for the Bedliner, there are several out there, I like the Rhino, for the Colors, thickness & warranty. There are a number of Liners for you to Apply. I have used POR15 paints, They work great, as described. Whatever you do for the Bed, Do the Prep Work, as the Instructions Say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokermjcomanche Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Here is the Upol bedliner . It's held up nice but I don't use it as a work truck though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 A user on this forum (his forum name is a1500ram) makes replacement stock-style MJ headliners. If you're looking for something like stock he's the best option I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFAGumby Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have used herculiner in the cab bed and body lines. The other users are right about it's roughness and durability. With the proper prep and coats mine has held up pretty well. For the price and simplicity of the install you can't beat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its dull, Ugly & starting to flake off (Yes i did prep VERY well) Like the other two have said, Check into U-pol. It is a little more expensive than herculiner, but looks a lot better quality. (And you can mix paint to make it diff colors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting them on this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Monstaliner is another great one, and applies as a roll on. I had great luck with it on two different truck beds in the past. Great UV resistance too, and with two good coats it's really durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Herculiner on my old CJ7 and would not use the product again. I didn't have any problems with it holding up. But as mikekaz1 wrote it is extremely rough and hard to keep clean.

Cap84 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I actually just recently used Herculiner on my truck bed and I really like it. If I haul some nasty stuff or get it filthy in the wild, just a quick spray and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its faded a bit but I still have no issues with it. I think it's all in what it's used for. Mine's a farm/toy truck so it's not a big deal to me. If someone were doing it just for looks they might wanna reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's a farm/toy truck so it's not a big deal to me. If someone were doing it just for looks they might wanna reconsider. I agree here. While all the comments about it fading and pitting are true (I had mine on a full year before re-coating it) It is durable, easy to apply on your own and cheap. Hopefully this thread will let someone know which product works for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason i'm so against him using it, Is he JUST had his truck painted lol don't need to spoil a good paintjob with herculiner :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
