Bed Liner for M101 A1 trailer?

[koolex11]

Does anyone have a plastic bed liner in an M101A1? I thought I would ask around if anyone knows of a good match, rather than diving into the research for truck bed dimentions...

I am in the middle of fixing up my first M101, and having a great time. I want it for a work trailer and I like the molded plastic liner much more than spray on, plus I don't want to scratch up my hard work with a shovel!

There are tons of cheap 8ft liners for sale near me, but I want the best fit without too much cutting! Thanks.

Congrats on the trailer. A bedliner.. Never heard of one being in a trailer..I would almost bet you would not find a picture of one on here. Most folks use them for hauling and such. But good luck and have fun.

There has to be somebody out there that has put one in...definitely not original equipment I know, but very useful!

I've only heard of people SPRAYING bedliner on the inside of the trailers, or using those thick rubber mats cut to the right shape.

I agree with Maddawg. I have seen alot of folks that use Herculiner and others, but I have never seen a actual bed liner. But you may be on to something new. You never know.

Isnt the bed of these trailers bigger than the average pick up truck bed, that most drop in bedliners wouldnt be big enough?

 

[koolex11]

Yeah I'm going to have to take some measurements I guess. I just imagined that over the years a pickup had to be made with a similar size bed.

Nick, do you still have the name of that guy who makes spare tire holders?

I looked for over a year and any pickup I found with the bed being close was always an old truck that they just dont make a commercial bed liner for so I just had my 101 and 116 Rhino lined. It was like 400.00 for the 101a2 and 325.00 for the 116a2 and it made the 101 into a water tank because it was thick enough it made it water tite with just some cheap weather stripping on the tailgate.

Thanks, Jersey. That's what I was afraid of, but kind of what I expected. I've never seen a truck bed that shape/size. Good enough for me. I'll keep my eyes open, but I won't hold my breath over it.

I've thought about getting my M101A3 Line-X'ed but was afraid it wouldnt take to the CARC or that the CARC would chip / peel over time and cause the liner to bubble or come off. How long have you had yours done and how is it holding up?

Yeah, I dont think he's on here anymore, but if your interested I can contact him via email, or thru the Power wagon forum.

Send me a pm with your email, and Ill forward it to Chris if your interested.

It has been on both trailers for well over 2 years and no problems at all. I did prep the trailers myself first by sandblasting them to bare metal before getting them lined. I figured the same thing, that the liner would not stick to the CARC, that is why I blasted it but the tailgate was done right over the CARC and it is still there with no issues so I don't think it matters about the CARC.

I am looking for this actually, I want to use it with one of those roll up unloaders to haul gravel etc...
