I had a load of mulch in it last week and it would be a PITA if it was line X'd.
Same... there are times I think a bedrug would be nice but I use the bed for too much. Between gravel, mulch, manure, dirt, animals, parking at a reverse incline so standing water at times, etc I just love the simplicity and durability of the plastic ones. They sure can take a beating

if you wouldn't mind can you elaborate on this ? What's your make and model? What complaints do you have? Problems experienced ?

I put Weathertech in-channels on my 2016 F150 xlt screw. They were a little tricky to get positioned right, but if you follow their instructions to the letter they work and don't mess up the power window features. The owner's manual tell how to turn off the sensors temporarily while you install the the shades.

Tried a few things to make it livable, but didn't happen. I now run a Borla.
I had a Borla on my Subi and all was great, had a Magna-Flow on my Honda(Tuner) perfect, got an MBRP dual side setup for my truck and hated it. I even installed a 18-inch resonator and the drone at 65 and up was absolutely terrible. I'm now running stock, again(who does that?). I do think the cold air intake makes exhaust louder too.

Hearing the Borlas on the truck on youtube just sound very loud to me, I guess not since ya'll like 'em. I considered the Roush setup, but will steer clear after reading this thread.

I built my own amp rack and sub box. In the beginning was tossing up the idea of the kicker box for our trucks, I'm glad I didn't go that route.

I have Leds in Anzo headlights awesome look. Raxiom Led tailights and again dig them. Also opted for yellow Leds in the fog lights.

Did the conversion from a 4.2 to 8-inch touch for the radio and replaced all speakers with Kickers. I like this setup.

Opted for a Line-X bed liner with no complaints and a Bakflip fibermax hard tonneau cover. The cover isn't 100% waterproof, but works for me.

Weathertech in-channel rain guards, yep sometimes my driver side won't go up. But a little nudge and all is fine.

Husky rubber mats are the best hands down.

AEM Cold Air Intake, seems to work. Is it worth it... Prolly not. But I don't have to buy stock filters every 15k(or whatever it is.).

Next is a coilovers level kit, thinking 2.5-inch maybe Boss shocks from stage1motorsports. Still researching.

Great thread!

I don't necessarily regret my mods, I regret switch placement for my mods.

Having said that, I am one of the few who likes the plastic bedliner as well.

Just rectified two more mods I wish I hadn't done.
Took off my TT mirrors, and went back to OEM. Sorta/kinda wasn't overly impressed with the looks or utility.
Returned to my FX heads, and removed the HID projector retrofits. Too much black for my taste, and the igniter going out on the right one sealed the deal.
TT mirrors are sold, and the heads will be going up for sale in the next couple days.

Some days I don't like my leveled truck and would prefer a rear-drop level. Depends on the day and the angle of my view of the truck. Some days I love the higher leveled look. (I should also mention that I have stock 32" rubber I'll step up to 33 or 34 once these are worn out)

My problem is that I want a capable mild 4x4 truck. But I also want a low-lean sporty drag truck.

2 very different things. So until I put a Coyote in my old RCSB 2wd, this one will just have to do.
