Mods to Drop in bediner
Spent countless time trying to figure out what type of bedliner to go with. Each style of liner has its benefits of course and its what fits your needs.
I wanted the protection drop in liners give when it comes to dents and dinges. I also like being able to slide heavy things across the liner. However a may add anti skid to back portion of bed liner.
My gripe with the drop in liner is the damage it can cause to your truck bed, i have had a rugged liner in my new truck for 4 days, hauled some lumber a few times. I removed the liner today and already had paint scratches on the bed.
I have searched around for something I could place under the drop in to prevent wear from the drop in liner, could not find anything. If you know of anything please let me know! I went to walmart and picked up some drawer/cabinet liners sprayed them with a little tacky adhesive and stuck them to the truck bed then reinstalled the liner.
What I did like after the reinstall was how dampened the liner was, it didnt give that same sound of hard plastic on metal. That was something I didnt consider. My only concern was protecting the truck bed from the liner. It also seem to dampen sound a little also.
My concern now is will this stuff stand to the weather and wear, its cheap and easy to replace if I dont notice anymore damage to the bed in a few months and loads. I will stick with it.

If I had the money I would go with both, but I like being able to throw heavy things in truck bed without much worry of dents, like being able to slide things also without climbing in the truck bed.

Just looked a 5 year old Truck!!!!! The spray in liner was peeling Off everywhere and looked like chit, There was no dents in the bed and it looked taken care of... It was a name brand spray on.....How do you fix that? I would stick with the drop in.

It is repairable and they do it for free. I had a scrape repaired it was caused by a frozen deer carcass letting go when I was coming down a mountain last year. You'd never know it happened After the fix.
Anyone with spray in liner knows it's better than a drop in.
I'm not knocking your choice at all here OP by the way. Every liner has its perks.

That liner you seen was obviously some junk jobber cap.
