You can see that when demand increases on Chevrolet pick up trucks  it also has a direct effect on so many other items in our economy. One of these items we chose to look at was a new type of bed liner, that fits the Chevrolet trucks with a custom contour following polyethylene panel. The bed liner is called the Dual Liner and it is unlike any other bed liner on the market, It will not cause any chaffing or any other adverse effects to the truck bed. The previous  spray on bed liners either required you to grind up the finish before installing it in the bed of the truck. The previous drop in bed liners would collect lots of dirt and debris underneath the bed liner, then they would shift around while the truck was driving down the road.  Dual Liner gives your new truck the best dent protection, the best scratch protection, and the best cargo protection available, it makes it easy to see why. When you factor in all the features and then look at the price, the Dual Liner can not be beat. Read the rest of this entry

The Silverado Line up is sure to please the Chevrolet enthusiast, there are many improvement over last years model. One particular item that has not changed is the box. The same custom fit bed liner that also fit the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado with the same bed length. Dual Liner is the only bed liner manufacturer that actually makes a reconstruction of the trucks bed into very expensive vacuum form molds. These molds are designed with hundreds of tiny holes that vacuum the heated polyethylene panel to the precise shape of the mold. The bed liner is composed of two side panels, a load guard, a tail gate cover, and a Zero Skid Bed Mat. This very expensive process insures that the Dual Liner will fit perfectly in your truck. It is the only bed liner available that will not cause any adverse effects to your truck, unlike the drop ins that shift around and chaff your paint off. The installation requires no permanent alteration of your trucks finish either, unlike the Spray On bed liners that need to be “scuffed up” with grinders to get the chemicals to adhere. Also you can take the Dual Liner out at any time, Spray Ons no matter how faded, scratched, dented or discolored can not be removed easily. Read the rest of this entry

There are several factors that will determine which bed liner will be the best for you and your truck. To decide which “Spray On” is the best you need to ask yourself what is a bed liner supposed to do? I am sure that every one would agree that the main purpose for a bed liner is to protect your truck from dents, scratches, and dings.

What ever bed liner offers the highest level of protection to your truck would clearly be the best. Right? Yes that only makes sense. Part of the process to install a “Spray On” requires an installer to scuff the trucks bed to get the polyuria compound to adhere properly. This process is very easy to label in terms that do not come across as destructive, harmful or damaging. Watch the video below to see what “scuff” actually means.

By “combo” I mean combination, there is a new type of bed liner that set to take the bed liner market by storm that uses “dual technologies” or a combination of technologies to give you the best bed liner ever. The sidewalls are made from similar technology as the drop in bed liner, the difference is what elevates this new bed liner to the highest level of protection ever offered. The old drop in bed liners were a one piece universal application that was well known for shifting around in the back of the truck as you were driving. One of the improvements to this type of bed liner was making it into a multiple piece system that each panel fit exactly to the contour of the specific make and model of truck, the other improvement was to utilize the rubber mat to cover the bed and hold it in place with a channel that was built into each of the sidewall pieces.

There is probably several reasons why you bought a Chevrolet Truck, I would have to assume that most truck owners want the ability to haul items that are either to big or to heavy to carry in a car (that only seems logical), otherwise they would own cars. At some point the Chevrolet Truck was more appealing, maybe it had a higher tow rating, or more creature comforts. What ever that reason is, it was important enough to you to decide what truck you were going to purchase. Now that you purchased a Chevrolet Truck there are several choices that you will have to make that will determine how long your truck will last and how well it will hold up for dependable use, as well as the resale value. One of the most important factors in the value of the truck is the overall condition of the trucks bed and box.

We know how important your truck is to you. Us truck owners, like to keep our truck clean and well maintained, making sure that we use only the best of what is available to us. When it comes to what we use in/on our truck, we can sometimes be very picky. Most of my truck buddies use very expensive products to insure that their truck will last along time as well as perform to its maximum capabilities. Several of these guys spend over nine dollars per quart of oil, and they change the trucks oil every 3000 miles, not 3001 if you know what I mean. They take there trucks to the local dealership and spend a fortune with scheduled maintenance. For instance, if the owners manual says that they should change their windshield wipers at every 25000 miles that is what they do. Not only do they change them they pay $80.00 for the OEM‘s (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version, you could buy replacement wipers from NAPA for $17.99. They also pay $120.00 for a paper air filter which they could save some dough and get a far superior K and N rechargeable air filter for less than half of the price.

When you decide to have a spray on bed liner installed you are handing your truck’s fate to an installer. He decides the fate of your truck, it doesn’t matter if he realizes it or not. If the bed liner installer has an appointment that he needs to keep, are you sure that he is not going to cut corners to insure that he is done in a certain amount of time. The process of installing a spray in bed liner is a critical process that determines not only the life of the truck but the performance and usability. To install a “LineX or Rhino-Liner spray on bed liner there are four main surface preparation processes. Not all installers are willing to take the time or use the materials necessary to insure the best chance of proper adhesion to your trucks box.

If you are a truck owner, you know how important the condition of your truck can be. Whether you’re just interested in the general appearance of your truck, or you want to keep the resale value as high as possible, the condition of your truck is very important. The most used surface on any truck is the bed. Whether hauling wood, furniture, or farm implements, the condition of the bed of your truck is in constant jeopardy. Installing a drop-in bedliner is one option you have, out of several, for truck bed protection. If you’re planning on not carrying anything that is that large, or loads that are extremely slippery or heavy, then a drop-in bedliner may be right for you. One of the main problems with this type of bedliner is that they are very slippery. If you’ve ever hauled something extremely or awkward on a slippery bed, you know if you have to stop fast you run a high risk of that item coming through your window. This can be extremely dangerous, causing injury to you or your passengers as well. Read the rest of this entry

There are several options available for your truck when it comes to bedliners. Most people, after reviewing all their choices, will opt for a spray-in liner. While these liners can have their advantages, their drawbacks outweigh them by far. Spray-on bedliners have several different chemical compositions, some of which are more high tech than others. The main flaw with spray-on bedliners, is that they require you to completely remove the entire painted surface of your truck bed in order to install them, they are also sprayed on with less thickness on the walls of your truck bed. The fact that you have to completely remove any traces of paint from your truck bed can be a major turn off when buying a spray-in. Who wants to void their paint warranty and possibly their entire truck warranty just to get a bedliner installed? While spray-in bedliners do offer better slip-resistance than a drop-in, which offers almost none, they pale in comparison to systems like the DualLiner, which have zero-skid technology, meaning your load will not go anywhere. After talking to several spray-in bedliner owners, I’ve found that another complaint they have most often is that their spray-ins will crack, leaving the raw metal surface of their truck bed exposed to the elements. Since the entire finished surface of the truck bed has been removed, this can be catastrophic, and will produce rusting almost instantly. One other factor  that makes these types of bedliners less appealing, is that they are easily stained, and stains can be next to impossible to remove from the surface of the bed. Try removing some fresh paint that has been spilled on a spray-on, it’s next to impossible. These types of bedliners can be very expensive, and are very well known for fading with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Read the rest of this entry
