Tailgate with spray-in liner?

[6naline01]

I am about to have a spray-in liner(line x) done to my 01 LB my question is has anyone also done the tail gate and if so how is it working out? Thanks in advance Doc Nielsen

Doc, I had Linex done to a Toyota Tundra, they alway do the tail gate. They even took the screws out that gave access to the release mechanism and sprayed them separately so if it was ever necessary you could get inside the tail gate.

I've got the rhino liner and the tailgate is done, wouldn't have it any other way.

I have the spray in liner and had them spray tailgate; on both the side rails and the tailgate, I had them spray over the top and like it very well. Its been on over a year and is holding up like new.

yes, make sure you have the gate done. it gets beat up the most. i just take mine in and drop it off to have it touched up... .

A note of caution on spraying the tailgate. If the liner material is built up too thick on the outside edges of the tail gate it can interfere with the latch mechanism and cause a binding situation. If the material is too thick the bed portion of the latch will require a spacer underneath it to achieve normal operation.

I had my RhinoLiner done with the tailgate too and they do a beautiful job cutting it in so it closes perfectly. As so long as you go to a decent shop you dont have to worry. Make SURE you see there work before they touch your truck.

Rhino lining was put on in fall of 98 and it has held up beautifully. Tailgate still looks like brand new.

You'll love the spray-in liner. The person doing the job is the most important factor. If they are good you have nothing to worry about.

Ditto what everyone says. Definitely do the tailgate. I had the bed caps done too for additional protection.



Be sure to have them spray 1/4" thick on the tailgate and the bottom of the bed for extra protection.



Also, inspect their work before you let them spray your truck and get the UV protectant spray. It will help it stay black longer.

Also have them put a thin layer on the section between the back edge of the bed and the bumper, and the very bottom of the tailgate. Rocks and other crap in the bed gets in that area when you lower the tailgate and makes a real mess of things when you try to get it out. Rhino Liner over the rails and like it.
