Things to do: Install Bedliner - Check
Got my BedRug Monday but due to weather wasn't able to get it in. Home sick today so thought I'd try and get it in (stomach viruses suck!).
For those looking at a BedRug, here are the steps I took (the instructions were a little vague):
1. Take it out of the box and zip it together.
2. I let it sit out a couple nights for it to regain original form - I think this made the install easy.
3. Rather than try and figure out where the attachement points were, I cleaned the entire bed with alcohol - took a total of about 10 minutes including drying it.
4. Insert liner in to bed and get it positioned correctly.
5. Lift up the floor covering, peel the tape and stick it down, remembering to push it back a little in case you shifted it forward during the lift.
6. Complete the install on the sides.
7. Reclean the tailgate and install.
Overall, fit is pretty good. It looks like it has the bed lines formed right and fits well on the sides. Tailgate fit is good but it buckles a little bit on the sides since there is no velcro on the padding for attachement on the sides. Looks good in the truck too.
For those wondering why I went this route, I've never been a fan of spray-in liners. I carry my dogs in the back of truck regularly and like that they can jump in and slide forward a little bit. My buddy's dog jumps in and darn near flips over on his spray-in. Drop in was only $20 cheaper than this one so the decision became real easy.
