I don't know if this will apply to you but when they lined my bed they took out everything and sprayed.
After it was done they put the tie down back in and lined the whatever you call it panel on the tailgate before they screwed that back in.

I guess since yours is more of a custom job they'll just line what you want them to.

Is $450 a good price for an 8 foot bed with rails?
Yes, that is a good price if they are spraying over the rails. Make sure they use wire trim tape!

In order for the Rhino to bond correctly, you have to have a properly "etched" and prepped painted surface - anything else and primer must be used. We used a wire cup brush (fiber) and then blew out the dust. Then I would wipe it down with acetone (nasty). At that point it was ready to spray. Anything foreign to the prepped surface (grease, sweat, dust) will cause a bubble, so you have to be careful.

My suggestion is this. Remove EVERYTHING you can from the truck. Take out the seats, panels, bolts, etc. Then trailer it to the Rhino place to be sprayed. We would knock about $200 off for people that did all this work. But, we would charge another $75 to put it back in.

Total cost to do a customer prepped 1st gen 4Runner to be sprayed on the inside would be about $400 - $500. But, that was back in 00. Things may have changed. Call around and see what area dealers will do for you.

All in all its a big job that will cost a pretty penny to get done right.

there was a 1st gen at the EC4RJ with the exterior rhino-lined. it was pretty sweet looking.... don't know how much he paid to have it done though. maybe ask on 4x4wire... he might be there.

I am looking for interior rhino lining! But it might be a good idea to contact him and see exactly what he did! Thanks!

Hey i want to camo clad my 4 runner, but i also want the bottom body line rino lined(or line-x/herculiner whatever). i don't think you could lay the vynil down perfectly flush to the bed liner. could you rino line over vynil or over lap it over the vynil a little bit
