Bedliner question...

[89Tonto]

Knowing that many of you are die-hard MJ owners and lovers, I thought I would share this "score" with you. :lol:

I picked up a factory plastic bedliner and tailgate cover yesterday from the 4x4 swap meet. The scrip "Comanche" is at the head end of the bed. NEAT...

Knowing there are several pro's and con's on owning one, I really couldn't pass up the offer. :wink:

Has anyone got a tip or two on prepping the steel bed before installation? I was thinking about spraying a light coat of oil in the bed to protect it in future years.

I'm starting to appreciate the qerks on owning this truck-

my neighbor, an old time heavy equipment mechanic, has always sprayed motor oil in under the bedliner. He does it twice a year. once before the salt season, then he cleans it out and reoils it in the spring. I've never seen his bed rust out, and I grew up next door.

FREE :wink:

My buddy took a MJ down to the swap meet. Since we had some "dead" time, we decided to pull the liner and see how the bed was. If the bed was in poor shape, the bedliner would have stayed "in place". Bed was in pretty good shape for an 89. Since it was out, he said that I might as well have it and put it in mine. OK- he didn't have to twist my arm twice. :lol:

He sold the truck the next day.
