This isn't a work truck, though I'll likely be hauling some dirty stuff here and there, and apparently the rugs can handle it. I don't like the price or texture of the spray-ins, and I don't like the paint damage the drop-ins can apparently do. As far as I can tell, though perhaps they're not as durable (correct me if I'm wrong), the bedrug has none of these problems. Thoughts? I'd love to hear some more feedback on current bedrug owners, like type, price paid, overall impression to date. I am looking at http://www.bed-rug.com/ at the moment, and they're sending me a free sample in the mail.

Thanks everyone!

Go to www.truckalterations.com.....they have the best price that I've been able to find. $284 including shipping.

Well, that's just what someone said here on these forums. So take it for what it's worth. I'm not considering it to be gospel, but it is his own experience.

I might get mulch once a year. So, for that light duty, I think Bedrug can handle it.

Flash - As I am reading your post I had another IE window open with the TruckAlterations website already up. I guess I was looking in the right place! I'm likely going to go for it, I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks.

***Same website has some Truxedo covers for a nice price. Truxedo Lo Pro for 351.99 including shipping. Works out 635.98 total.***

Recieved the first part of my order today from TA. The Bedrug install looks simple enough. I've got one eye on the weather, hopefully it'll get done today. I'll post pics afterwards for those who are interested in seeing before, during and after shots.

I got tired of getting my spray-in bed liners fixed on my '97 SCab every time I hauled a load of bricks. I bought a Bedrug for my '05 and never looked backed. A pressure washer will get anything out of it.

Bedrug is like indoor/outdoor carpeting. So, using common sense, what you think would not be good for indoor/outdoor carpeting will not be good for Bedrug. For example, Bedrug fibers can tear. So, if you actually give your truck's bed heavy duty use, Bedrug may not be the best thing for you.

I have a bedrug in my truck and like it much better than the drop in that was in my last truck and sprayin before that. I haul acid dipped parts in it all the time and still looks great after over a year, I sit my slide in camper on it with out issue as well. it is very knee friendly when you have to crawl around in the bed as well. It cost me about the same as a drop in and less than a sprayin and is better than either in my opinion.

I installed my bedrug 2 years ago with a ******** tonneau and autoloc power tonneau kit so with just the push of a button on my key fob even my 100 lb wife or 8 year old daughter can get in. It makes it great for carrying luggage, sleeping in, and I frequently haul greasy car parts in it, but I do ussually throw down a blanket to keep the grease off of it. It washes off but the blanket saves time. The kids and dogs love to play in the back and we frequently use it for picnics as well.

I was feelin pretty nice while I installed mine on a hot day under the tonneau and a bottle of acetone in hand.....I was ready for a magic carpet ride on that bedrug!

FYI - I printed out this webpage, which helped out in the installa as well:

Live and learn I guess. Trial and error.

But it's done and I LOVE it!!

I added my bed rug after I noticed my ARE LSll bed cap had similar material for it's headliner.....It was an easy install...fits like a glove and looks great along with bed cap...perfect match.
