Welcome to the list Dave. The bedliner choice is not an easy one. I first
considered a "carpet" type liner but then worried about moisture. After
seeing some ads on spray-in liners and sending for info from Rhino Linings
I had just about decided that it was gonna be a Rhino Liner for my '97. I
got some info from a fellow list member, and I'm sure he'd be willing to
post the products virtues to the list or you directly, about the BedRug.
Moisture proof, foam backed full bed protection. Cheaper, lighter, more
attractive than a spray-in and its removable too. This is the route I've
decided to go. I'll be ordering a soft, gas lift tonneau from Checkmate on
Monday. Probably do the "Rug" at the end of summer. Hope this helped.
