Ooops, never mind....3,000 miles is a tad far to be testing liners. Go to
your nearest Line-X dealer and see if they have a test bed you can drive
your snowmobile on.

Subject: DML: Re: RE: Looking for a bedliner
Depends on the application. In my case, a spray wouldn't do, I drive my
snowmobile in the back of my truck, so that means 500 pounds of down
pressure from the carbide runners on the skis going down on the bedliner,
also the carbide studs from the track. The Carbides from the skis leave nice
gouges in the bedliner. If I had a spray in, I'm sure I would be down to
bare metal...
