Rhino Liner!!

[AstroZombie]

We pulled the trigger on Rhino this week. I did lots of calling around comparing prices and quality of product. Though they all tend to get pretty much the same it came down to the material. Rhino is said to be a little softer and applied thicker than competitors. Competitors can be thinker and cure harder. Though each has its own unique formulars we felt the rhino, being applied thicker and not a course was the best option for us. I think the team at CID in San Marcos, CA knocked it out of the park.

Clean install/spray job.

My buddy had his Tundra done and they sprayed over all of the hardware like some lazy turds

I would have gone Rhino but the dealer worked the factory spray-in in the deal at less than 1/2 cost. So factory it is, and I have to say, its all good. I added a cheapo rubber type bed liner in to protect the floor of the bed from getting banged up. It was like $100 so when it gets all ratted out, pull it and put another in.

Did they remove the trail rails?

I had mine sprayed with the Rhino liner (that is whom the dealership outsourced with) and I think my cost was about $400. My first Gladiator had the OEM liner. I'm not sure I could tell the difference to be honest (I guess I'd need both trucks side by side to compare). Both seem great in my opinion. Poor experiences probably come down to installer.

I have had all my trucks to include all three of my Gladiators Rhino Liner sprayed. Been quite happy with it.

Looks like a quality job.
I had the inside of my CJ7 tub done in Rhino Lining about 25 years ago and it still looks good.

Did they remove the trail rails?

The removed the head rail but masked off the side rails. They removed the hooks, lights and access panels on the tail gate. They did leave the bed plugs in.

Do you mind telling us what you paid.? I’ve been considering having mine done there as well.

Mine charges $525.

I choose the premium $720. The basic was about $520 I believe + 200 for uv protectant. I recommend calling different shops. I did the Rhino get a quote and called several shops. One wanted almost $850 and didn't offer the premium but build UV add-on for like $250 on top of the $600+ for base coat. They were going to mask off to just under the trail rail but I got them to do the top of the header. The tech said he was going to mask off the header cleat rail but I think they just took it off. I went to CID in San Marcos, CA. https://www.cidautobody.com/rhino-lining/
If you go there they charge an extra $40 for cars and $720 for cash. I didn't mind the fee.

This is what it looks like under the Trail Rail system where they masked it off to. I am ok with it since i will not be getting rid of the rail system. Its probably one of my favorite features.

we did pay for teh UV protection so it would not fade but..................it faded.

 

[AstroZombie]

still better than the snazberry color paint. It was just all scratched up

I don't think theres anything that can truly resist UV fading, it's just a question of how long.

I'll be looking to get mine done closer to spring time. I need to get that and undercoating done, but I'll wait and get it all done at once after I get suspension and such finished. Trying to work on stuff underneath after it's been coated is not fun.
