Arb ute liners

A couple of my mates have had spray on ute liners put in the back of their utes, looks the same as the removable ones but its pernament, black plastic looking, looks realy good and is very hard wearing.
The company said if it ever gets wear they can touch it up or re coat it. A good thing about the spray on is water cant get trapped between the tub and the liner causing potential for rust etc

Hi Scotty,

I have an ARB liner in the tub of my Colorado and it's been in since almost new. (about 3 years ago)

I also had an ARB Canopy installed at the same time.
The main benefit as I see it is a deadening of sound from anything contacting the metal tub.

I also have added a Black Widow drawer system which I had in a previous vehicle, so I guess the majority of the liner is "hidden", but the sides, back and bottom area of about 500mm behind the back of the drawer system, are "exposed".

I can't confirm or deny any problem with condensation as mentioned, as I have never had need to remove the drawer system and liner to check underneath.

The cost back in May 2009 was $284 for the main liner, $100 for the tailgate Liner, a fit kit of $13, plus labour to install of $43. This was from an ARB "agent" rather than an ARB shop and I may have received a discount as I also had the canopy, roof rack support frame and Rhino Rack supplied and fitted at the same time.

A call to ARB or an agent will give the current pricing structure for supply and/or fitting at today's prices.

I wanted to set up my vehicle tub area to have a clean, practical and functional storage area which is protected from the elements, hence the canopy, support frame and roof rack system.

All I can say is I have no regrets as far as I am concerned.
Should the need arrise that I need to remove everything and observe any abrasion and or rusting underneath, I will deal with any problem down the track.
