Bed lining

My MJ is being painted and would like to hear what the op preferred is. I have the OEM hard bed liner but have thought about the line x or rhino liner. What do you guys prefer.??? Thanks Paul

Spray in

I had mine BullitLined. It holds up well but any spray in bedliner will still need good surface prep to stick well and I think they slumped out on mine. Rhino liner is not UV stable so if you get a lot of sun it will start to fade. Heard good things about raptor liner

I had mine done with LINE X and am very happy with it.   Depending on what colour you're having your MJ painted you might want to consider getting the additional UV protection coat.   My MJ is black and I wanted the bedliner to stay black.   If it was any other colour I probably wouldn't have cared if the bed faded a bit over time. 

 

Mine had an OEM hard bed liner too.   Apart from some scuffed paint, when I took it out the bed was in perfect condition.  There was a number of screw holes for the original liner that I thought needed to be welded shut.   I filled in all of the ones in the tailgate, ground them down, primed them, etc.   When I went to set the date at LINE X the guy said "don't bother".   They cut about 1"x1" squares of tin tape, placed them over the holes and then sprayed.   With the thickness and texture of the covering you can not tell where the holes were.

Make sure they mask off your tailgate handle bolts or any other bolts you need to access down the road

by oem do you mean the removable liner? The problem with removable liners is water can get stuck underneath and rust out your bedfloor, i would do a spray in bed liner, linex, rhino liner, and raptor liner are all pretty good. i would go with linex if you could though

I had the bed of my Raptor done with Line-X and it was fantastic. I plan to do the same with my Comanche after I paint it. Wasn't cheap though
