The History Of Bed Liners.

When you think about bed liners, it is hard not to think about the truck that the bed liner is in. That is because they really go together. Most truck owners have some sort of bed liner in their current truck. If you go way back in history, back to the mid 1920′s, this is close to when the truck showed up on Dealers lot’s. I found very little items for sale that protected the trucks bed, part of the reason for this, was due to fact that they used wood planks as the floor of the bed. I would imagine that if your cargo scratched up the finish of the wood planks that they could be sanded down and refinished or you could replace them if the damage was to much.

Now fast forward to the present, I can’t tell you every brand of “spray on” bed liner because there is so many, there are numerous “drop in” bed liner manufacturers, there is “carpet rug” bed liners, there is numerous “DIY” (Do It Yourself) bed liners, and there is even a “Hybrid” bed liner. I am not going to bore you with the history of each of the types of bed liners, but there is one of these bed liners that really demands your attention, the “Hybrid” bed liner. It was recently introduced to the truck world at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.This Bed liner really out performed the rest of the bed liners when it came to price, protection, installation, and durability. The Hybrid bed liner had the best warranty too, it is a lifetime warranty that covers commercial use and it is transferable to the next owner of the truck or bed liner. The Dual Liner offered the best paint protection, the best dent protection and it was the only bed liner we found that actually protected your cargo from damage. The Dual Liner uses two types of bed liner technology, first the sidewalls are made to fit tight to the sheet metal of your trucks box so it does not chaff, then the floor, It is a rubber type of floor mat. only this mat is like the old type of rubber mat on steroids. It is 3/8ths of an inch thick and composed of super soft rubber which will absorb the impact of even the most extreme cargo. The mat Uses Zero Skid Technology to keep your cargo where ever you put it. The bottom of there mat has rubber nubs that keep the mat up off the trucks bed which allows it to breath and allows the water to drain out the factory drain holes. As you can see you do not have to settle for a bed liner that will alter your truck forever. You don’t have to settle for a bed liner that will only look good for a few years. You don’t have to settle for a bed liner that will actually do more harm than good to your truck. It is pretty obvious which bed liner is going to truly protect your truck and its resale value. Historically speaking the “Hybrid” bed liner is similar to the light bulb, which became the new standard for lighting, it made the candle or oil lamp a thing of the past. As more people every day by a Dual Liner the word of mouth is beginning to spread like wild fire.

There is several bed liners available to truck owners, but none that truly preserves the truck bed. Now you have a choice in your trucks future, you can extend it by purchasing a Dual Liner, or you can give it a life sentence by choosing one of the other damaging bed liners. Be the first one of your friends to own “The Only Bed Liner That Work’s” and start spreading the word.
