Like the title says, I have a general question about rhinolining or bedlining your interior. Is this something you should wait to do after you install your cage or does it not really matter? Is it harder to install a cage with your interior lined? What are the problems that you run into?
 
If you bedline then cage your gonna have issues with welding.

Unless you weld the cage and drop it in, each little cherry spark is gonna have to be shielded from the floor or they are gonna burn in, and then rust. Same with grinding, etc.

I would wait, or if your cage is removable make it outside the truck then bolt in.
 
After. welding, removing or working around or with herculiner or other liners will be a pain after the fact. Not to mention the fumes are nasty:eek1:

Its real easy to use aluminum foil to cover the tube to spray or apply the liner after wards though.
 
It depends. I had my interior Line Xd and then I had a roll bar built inside the truck. I didnt want to take my topper off so they had to weld inside. It melted the Line X but luckily it was under the roll bar feet so it wasnt visible.

If you build the cage and then coat the inside you wont have any coating under the cage feet. If you coat it and then put the cage in youll be fine. Drilling thru the coating isnt a problem. I did it multiple times.
 
mine is getting done after the cage for some obvious reasons... the main reason being that all the interior sheetmetal needs to be shot satin black..... and it's MUCH easier to paint the cage, mask it off with tin foil and 2", then shoot all the black, then vise-versa.... then the final step will be herc on the floor....
 
PUt in the cage, open up a couple cans of liner set them inside on the floor with the lids totally off, then roll it down a hill. Done.:D

I did my liner after the cage. No taping anything off, was just cautious.
 
X6 or 7 or whatever...

After... And either put something over the windshield to protect it or remove it completely if your welding in the truck... Ask me how I know...:doah:
