Spray-in Bed liner

[Floyd]

Ford sprays the tie downs at the factory. Our bedliner guy removed them on the first Ranger he did and it destroyed the bolts, so he had to replace all of the bolts.

On the F150, the bolts are easy to remove. The first Super Duty he did also destroyed the bolts while trying to remove them. Soon after, our service department received a notification from Ford stating that removal of the tie down bolts would void the factory warranty. Since the Ranger bolts get destroyed the same way as the Super Duty bolts, we are thinking that the Ranger tie downs are designed with similar load ratings (based on the truck's load ratings), and that removal of those bolts may negatively impact the rating, unlike on the F150.

Our bedliner guy is now either just spraying over them or masking them per customer request. I'm thinking of having mine sprayed on the Ranger as extra protection, as I've nicked the finish here and there in 8 years of use on my F250, probably more from hauling landscape stone more than anything, but also from some of my older rachet strap hooks coatings wearing down to bare metal.

I had them leave the tie downs in place, figuring that the bedliner had better be tougher than paint... or what's the point??

Premium Line-X in MA is $700, which is Standard plus the UV topcoat. That UV protection is a $125 upcharge from Standard price of $575.

I just got quote from Bullet liner, I asked for over the rail spray but this is what they send me.
$475 (Black Bullet Liner, Under the rail + tailgate).
Promotional price only, $50 OFF expires July 30. Regular price $525, but i still waiting for Linex quote.
There is any reason why I can not get over the rail spray?

Line-X spray this week.
They removed hooks, and I removed window sticker. Miss the Ford logo in back. But looks good. Glossy.

I have the standard LineX spray-in. There are 2 extra threaded holes above the tie downs near the bulkhead. those were masked with screw plugs and can be used to either move the standard ones up or to add 2 extra ones higher on the bed. I will probably just move mine up for now. I think the upper set of holes are used when attaching the drop-in liner from the factory also.

I don't need the UV coating since I have a roll up cover.and rubber mat.

If you got an over the rail spray you'd be spraying the plastic top rail, which I don't think you want to do.

Just got my Line X Premium done today. $617.50 w/tax They removed the tie points, but covered the grommets and screw holes. Not sure I will use them, but can run a tap in them if needed in the future..

Finally got mine done, the tailgate was already well scuffed up for them, lol. Local shop "bullet liner " I'm pretty happy with the job they did, removed tie downs and side rubber plugs, also did both tailgate and bed fully down the ends where they meet.

Pardon my ignorance, but why the rush to get a spray-in bedliner? Is it to prevent dents?

My understanding is they need to wire wheel (aka scratch) the bed up as prep work before the spray.

So wouldn't it make more sense to get the spray-in after the bed is beat up a bit?

It is probably better to get it done soon so that the scratches would allow rust.

They don't wire wheel the bed, just a light scuff with a scrub pad. The liners protects from minor dents and seals the be area.

After one camping trip in a rather sandy area, we were dragging coolers in and out of the bed across the tailgate and it was pretty well sanded down, so it was time to get it done before it got much worse. My Frontier had it factory and took a ton of abuse with no signs of damage so it was a given that Id get this one done. I bought off the lot(actually right off the truck, lol) in Jan. and the bedliner was about all that was missing from what I was looking for, but I knew it could be easily done later.

Added my standard line x and soft roll tonneau cover yesterday. Bed was pretty trashed after 4,000 miles but now looks brand new again. Had line x also order and install the truxedo truxport - which did not dissuade my salesman from trying to upsale me on the premium UV protection. Total was 923 out the door. Went with the Truxport as I wanted on the rail install rather than a between the rail cover.

Can dealers do the spray in if the truck doesn't have it already, or is it just a factory option?
