Factory Spray In Bed liner no longer available???

[Maynard24]

I ordered mine from Gupton as well early Dec., and they told me the same as well (still waiting on delivery). I'm thinking of going with Line X as well. I'm thinking about getting the bed rails later, has anyone had problems with the bed rail holes being filled after spray in liner?

Im being told by a dealer that the other trims are still being allowed to be ordered with the liner, its just the Rubicon thats now allowing it... Interesting

Awesome, thx!
Do you recall if they removed the bed rail/cargo rails for the spray?

Trail rails: Yes
Bed rail (as in the plastic rails that run along the top of each side): No due to fitment issues of rails after adding the thickness of the Line-X

They spray "up to the bed rails" on the sides and on top of the back rail, allow the product to short-term cure, then re-install the Trail Rails.
I haven't had to remove them yet bet he assured me I wouldn't have an issue.

All holes that need to be used were taped up and are still accessible.

I was concerned that he said he was going to spray over the plastic plugs on the bottom and closest to the cab panel, but he told me they wouldn't stay in place if he sprayed it while they were removed, assured they aren't used for anything but access to wiring during the assembly process, and would not be needed, even for bed removal later down the line.

My research later confirmed this, so I'm happy I trusted him.

They also remove all the access panels on the tailgate, spray them individually (excluding the bolts), and reassemble everything.


It's a very thorough process and I've been very happy with the results.
No claw marks or taco sauce stains.

i just ordered today, Got my VON with bedliner.

That $245 upcharge for any color other than white really cheeses me off! It's across the board. Talk about nickel and diming...

Fill the all the bolt holes with grease before you take it to your Line X installer, use a M6 (trail rail) and M8 (front lower tie down) thread chaser (not a tap) to clean out.

Yeah it is so stupid.

Yeah it is so stupid.

FCA sold 1.8+ million vehicles in 2020, the majority of the color choices are metallic, the $245 charge would have brought in over $400,000,000 in revenue...

Well it is good for them

I expected at least the regular colors like red, white, blue, and black to be no cost while the metallics gets an upcharge which is what other car manufacturers do.

No idea on factory status, but I have the OEM bedliner on my 20 JTR.

Having had Rhino and Line-X on other projects, I’d say the OEM liner is “ok”.

But if I were you I would go with aftermarket Line-X.

I second that. Line-x is harder and tougher. I've had both and IMHO it beats Rhino hands down.

My dealer just used Line-X but when I priced it, it was $100 cheaper to get it done through my local Line X

Just had my JT sprayed with Line-X at $500. A friend went through the dealer and all they did was farm it out for install for $475. IMO mine looks better.

I ordered in SoCal on 10/22. At that time, the Bedliner was "restricted" or non-orderable. So I said cool... i'll just simply do it afterwards. I took delivery of my Jeep exactly 6 weeks after ordering and paid much less on my Bullet Liner! Other's that have ordered before me were still waiting for delivery of their JT's. From the sounds of it, two items were causing delays in build... Spray in Bedliner and Body Match Top.

Just get it done afterwards.. much better quality, I think.

I’m trying to order my JT Rubicon in Salt Lake City today. I put my money down but today they say they cannot order the bedliner. Today is Friday. Last Tuesday another dealership had no problem with it so this seems to be an on again, off again development.
I called the local Line-X dealer who says he is now a Bullet dealer instead.

He said a Gladiator with the rail system, lights, and 110 outlet makes for a pretty labor-intensive job. Does anyone have experience with Bullet?

Of course, FCA says “please contact your local dealer“ which is the most ridiculous response I can think of. It’s the same thing they said when trying to get a straight answer with the trailer brake controller which took 2 1/2 years to even exist.

As for now, you cannot order a Rubicon diesel with the spray in bedliner. Gas version is no problem. Jeep refuses to say why.

so I’ve ordered and I will be forced with an aftermarket bedliner.

i’ve seen several YouTube’s where they remove the rail system, outlet, Tiedowns, and most importantly, the light. All of the local shops I’m talking to in Salt Lake City are saying they will only mask around the light.

what am I missing?

is it particularly difficult to remove the light?

I think several have had their lights broken when places removed them to spray in the liner
