I know you can peel some of them off once you get it started. Maybe just using a razor blade and 5in1 or something.

grab a torch..hold it back enough to the point its not igniting it..worked well on a cheapo bedliner i removed once..not sure about something decent..

*Disclaimer* If you endup burning your truck to the ground..apparently my advice wasnt applicable!!

*EDIT* thinking again..maybe a heat gun would be a wiser choice..i was young when i did that

thats what i was thinking. to heat it up til it starts to melt then whipe it off with xylene. i just want it off the bed rails.... not the entire bed cuz i want to put on the smooth bed caps on it. anyways, if theres a will, theres a way... more suggestions are welcome.

Are you planning on repainting the truck? If you had the bedliner professionally done, I'd be willing to bet they had to sand down or at least scuff the paint to get the bedliner to adhere to the surface coated. Paint underneathe might not be worth even bothering with.

I know it can be removed, but its a pain, my buddy got in a wreck a few years ago and the bodyshop had a hell of a time removing just a portion of the bedliner to repair the bed and respray the liner in that section.
