Ok, I am going to get the tub of my Unlimited Rubicon Lined next Friday when I get paid. I have narrowed it down between LINE-X and Rhino Lining. I am wondering if anyone in here has any experiances positive or negative with either product. I have been doing lots of research on both and found both to be good products, however, I want the best. I played with the Rhino Lining today and was able to dig my finger nail under the lining on a pickup that they had done and seperate it fron the paint. The lining was approx. 4 years old. I tried this with a 3 year old Line-X lining and almost ripped off my finger nail.

LINE-X: Sprayed in tub for $450.00. Harder that Rhino Liner and comes with a nationwide lifetime warranty. I will have to add a clear wipe on coating every couple of years to keep UV Protected.

Rhino Lining: Sprayed in tub for $400.00. Much softer than Line-X and also comes with a lifttime warranty, not nationwide. They will bruch on a clear coat UV Protectant over the lining. It will have to be applied every couple of years. I will be able to add UV Protectant myself.

Any advice from people that have these products would be greatly appreciated.

Line-x works great and it looks better than rhino lining to me.

Both will get the job done though.

my buddy has the line-x in he TJ and it looks great and cleans up like a dream. Go with the Line-x. Get a sample of both and rub them together. Then make your choice.

I have been using the line-x in our farm trucks and am very impressed with it, also the $50 more is worth it because of the nationwide warranty. I have used rhino and it was ok.

Line-X...starts with "L" like L.O.S.T :D

Rhino...looks like a Hippo...Hippo is Land Rover/Freelander :(

I think the choice is simple :idea:

I much prefer Rhino. Line-X is good and solid, but it'll tear your legs up. When we do the tub on our Rubicon it will be Rhino. We've always Rhino'd the beds of our work trucks and they carry heavy drilling steal with sharp edges. No cuts or problems at all. The inside of my Jeep should never see the abuse those take.
