Accessory questions???
Dear SCrew enthusiasts,
I am looking at purchasing floor mats, bed liner and bug deflector. Can I get your opinions on who makes the best of each? Please include pricing and where purchased.

Tman,
This is all personal preference, but here's what I'v got on my truck and I am satisfied with them all:
Floor Mats: Catch-All's Bought from Performance Products at http://www.performanceproducts.com Don't remember the cost, but I shopped around and they were the cheapest I found at the time.
Bedliner: BedRug, bought from my local ARE Truck Cap dealer for $355 installed.
BugDeflector: Lund Interceptor. Bought a clear one from my ARE Truck Cap Dealer for $55 and then had my ford Dealer paint the backside Arizona Beige and clearcoat it. I then took it back to my ARE dealer and he installed it at no extra charge.
Just my $0.02

ajadatz1,
Thanks for the compliments. I love my ARE Z Cap. No problems with it. Great fit & finish. The paint is a dead-on match and isn't full of dirt and other crap. When my dealer first installed it, it didn't sit square on the bed. Took it back and they adjusted it so now it fits great.
If you're curious, my BedRug was the perfect choice for under the cap. My dog loves the soft feel and she doesn't slide around. It also makes climbing in and out of the bed a whole lot easier on my knees.

got my bedrug today. love it. went with husky liners instead of catch-alls. easier to clean i figure. but if you really want carpeted ones go w/catchalls.
debating a bug deflector myself... still deciding on that one.
