I know the stuff you are talking about. It's pretty tough stuff. it's called Rhino Lining's "Tuff Stuff", and can probablyCheck for its temprature stability though. I have a feeling that the Tigers floors get a lot hotter than a Pickup bed. However, here are several Internet listing s for this stuff. Check it out!.
