Rhino Liner and Ranch Hand do not mix!!

[PRyker]

I had my truck Rhino lined (Over the rail) about 6 months ago. I love the stuff. I agree with a lot of memebers on here that spray on bed liners are only as good as the installer. Mine did a mediocre job, however, it is guaranteed.



Anyways, I order a headache rack, tool box and bed rails from Ranch hand. WOW, that stuff is solid and HEAVY! I went to install the bedrails and headache rack and... they do not fit. Turns out the over-the-rail Rhino liner through off the dimensions and I will have to get it removed... uugghh...



Any ideas on how to get the stuff off the rail? I am afraid I will have to re-paint the rails again now before the ranch hand stuff goes on. Anyone have this problem before? How did you overcome?



I feel like such an idiot. SHould of thought of that BEFORE i spent $1000+ on the ranch hand stuff.



Thoughts??

Belt sander?





What doesn't fit? Is the width too tight or is the added height the problem?

It appears to be the width. And the rhino liner wraps around far enough and is thick enough that I would have to grind it down a lot. Height is not the problem.



What a pain!! Only thing I can think of doing is taking the whole thing into a body shop with the ranch hand stuff and tell them to figure it out. It is gonna cost me!!



Help!

Just trim the Rhino with a razorblade until you get a nice snug fit. Beltsander would work too.



or, grind on the ranchhand rack with a grinder until it fits over the rhino---then just rattle can what you ground off.

You spent over $1000 for a rack, rails and a box?? Nothing else??? Just curious. . I have ranch hand bumpers, but I use another company down here who custom fabricates what YOU want, instead of mass producing something. post back and tell me exactly what you ordered from them. . Maybe its because you are where you are that drove the cost up, but Kaspar Wire Works(Owners of Ranch Hand) have gotten a little proud of their products if you ask me. Just my $. 02... .



I am looking into getting my bed sprayed, but my rails hang over a little further, hopefully it wont interfere with mine like it did yours.
