Default Bed Mat

Anyone have a bed mat in their truck?? I have a drop in liner and I liked it at first, then thought about how water can get between the bed and liner and cause rust.. not a big fan of that.. Plus I don't have the bed liner inserts (the two seperate pieces that go behind the two front tie downs) Anyone have these they may be willing to sell?

If anyone has any pics of their bed with a bed mat in it, pics would be appreciated! Thanks.

I have a bed mat in my truck. I like it a lot. Nothing slips around and it fits perfectly. I got mine for 30 dollars off craigslist. They look pretty good imo. The only problem I have had with it, is that it doesnt protect the wheel wells so whenever I end up putting a bunch of heavy stuff in the bed they get dented pretty easily. It really isnt that big of a deal if you have a rubber mallet because you can just bang them out. Just something to keep in mind. I would get pictures for you but I have a snap on tonno on it for the winter and they are a pain to take on and off.

Thanks for the advice.. I have a snap cover on as well right now, but with a drop in liner from Ford.. I'm going to take it out though.. I'd appreciate the pics though then you're able to. Do you also have the tailgate part for the mat?

I got one in my work truck and love it. I also like that my knees dont hurt when i have to crawl into the back of the truck but thats only cuz i have a topper on it. I believe it was just under 50 at Radco in town.

I had a bed mat in mine and I added a Truxsport velcro soft cover. Worked AWESOME. I would get a bedmat before I got a drop in liner.

I dont have the tailgate protector, but I am going to buy some of that spray on bed liner from walmart or autozone and paint the tailgate part and maybe the wheel wells and side walls of the bed once it warms up.

Good idea.. I might consider that.. Or just use the tailgate protector from the Ford bed liner.
