I've Been Linex'd!

Hey Guys

Got my truck sprayed last week with Linex protection. Here are a few shots. I'm very impressed, I highly recommend this stuff.

It's great stuff! I don't think I'll own a truck again without it. I still just need to get mine done over the rails too!

What's it cost to have it done where you are?

I have no idea what percent tint is on the back window -- it came that way from Ford. I haven't touched it.

They did a good job. Looks like they removed the bed bolts & tailgate panel bolts...thats a big plus. I fought with my bed bolts for over an hour with a big breaker bar, lots of liquid wrench, and force to make sure they had no excuses when I asked them to remove them. Looks great!! I love mine. Did they do down the the bottom inside tailgate lip?

Yours has 10 bed bolts...mine only has 6. I wonder what year that changed? If I'd have to fight with 4 more I think I'd have reached the edge of my patience....haha

I had no idea if they did the bottom of the tailgate but I had to look. Here is what I found, to my surprise it was not coated. I wondered why, so I called and asked. They told me if they coated the bottom of the tailgate 2 things would happen, they would block the drainage holes and the tailgate wouldn't close properly with the coating on it. So they don't coat it so they don't have to deal with those issues later.

You can still do it. Just to say you did.
