Bed lining the roof
I got the idea of bedlining the roof of my 4runner so i wouldnt have to worry about taking care of the paint as i haven't washed/waxed it in about 2 years or so since i got my surco rack on it so it is a PITA to take care of. I dont really know what to think about it on how it would look though and i doubt anyone else has done it...
What do you guys think?

might raise the inside temps a bit (unless you get white bedliner). you'll have to remove the rack to get it coated anyway, so why not just put a thick coat of wax on it?
if you do, make sure you use the UV top coat or it'll end up looking like hell in no time

Gotta be careful with rhinolining everything though...if you don't do a good thorough job cleaning things up, rust can start inside the coating and you won't know until its only the lining holding your truck together

if your worried about the appearance of yer roof just lift the truck so nobody sees it
seriously tho nobody sees the roof i wouldnt worry about it the bedliner is a waste of time imo

Now that I think about it, bedliner weighs a ton. You wanna get weight as low as possible for stability so I don't think it's such a great idea. Algranger has it right: it's just the roof, who cares??

I herculined my entire old '84 truck. It looked great for about a year, then the sun faded it and made it flat. Then I sold it to a super hot chick that drove the crap out of it and the last time I saw it it looked like a burnt marshmallow!

I've seen a few trucks with Herculiner on them that looked really good. Not only does it not scratch or chip, if it did it would be easy to repair. It repels scratches and even minor dents. It's awesome.
