I agree that a full liner allows stuff to slide a little too much, but
that's why you tie stuff down. The upside is they protect a bed extremely
well, got an '86 Dodge that's had a liner in it since it was new, I live
on a farm and as such everything you can imagine has been hauled in it
yet, I looked under the liner the other day and the bed still looks brand
new. Also if you get a camper, watch the fit of the rear glass hatch when
it is closed, if you don't it will rub off about an inch high strip of
paint across the lip of the tailgate. (Speaking of which guys, will
touch-up paint fix a problem that big or do I need to go ahead and
repaint.)
