Bed Mat

Black Armour's website is showing "BLACK ARMOUR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE U.S."

 

That is correct and this is the one I wanted for my truck. Now I have to choose between rough country or gator.

 

The Black Armour custom fit looked like the best product compared to rough country or gator!

 

If anyone is looking for a Black Armour mat, check with Les Schwab. They may still some in stock. I bought one for a 6.5' bed 3 weeks ago.

 

Not a store within 1000 miles of TN. Never got a call back from CS and it’s not listed on their website. Anyone else build a custom 5’7”bed mat.

 

Anyone have any luck with a bed mat that is fairly easy to remove / clean? I like the stock liner, but it's pretty rough. It's shredding through hockey bags, but I also load beach stuff in and out every weekend, which I figured salt and sand accumulating under a bed mat would be a not great idea.

 

The bed is made of plastic what is your concern?....guess maybe the bed bolts could start to corrode...There is a fine line between easy to remove and staying put and not blowing out of the bed when you drive down the road.

 

I have a tri-fold over the bed, so blowing out isn't a concern. Years ago I had a mat in my bed that fit like a glove, but was a pain to take out and put back in. Left it for a couple of years and when I finally took it out there was some corrosion at the bolts and random spots.

 

What Les Schwab was it from? I am located in the PNW so maybe I am close? I called my local one and they said the distribution center sometimes carries non name brand mats, but thats it.

 

Just purchased the one from gator.

 

Bedrug is not carpet. It just resembles it

 

It's a poly something or other if I remember right. It's marketed as being able to take oil spills and all kinds of nasty stuff. Honestly it's pretty amazing. I love it.

 

It's polypropylene. Says its even holds up to battery acid. Not ready to give that a try tho.

 

It stands up great. I don't know how easy it would be on tar or paint that dried but most stuff will hose off. And it is easier on knees, especially aging ones.

 

The BedRug Classic Bed Mat is a polypropylene fiber construction that is virtually indestructible. This makes for a material that is super easy to clean- just hose it out!

 

My old gen 2 had line x and the drop in, I still threw down a tarp if sand or grave went in, not because it was to clean up the liner but to facilitate getting the material out. Way easier to drag out a near empty tarp and dump than get out the hose. and the line x was harder to clean than the bedmat.

A little off topic but is there a mat that is slippery like a drop in? When you run a cap, and you don't want to crawl in having something not too grippy saves the knees

 

Black armour long bed mat should be at my Les Schwab tomorrow morning. Same LS as @Twin2turbo got his from. 15mins from my casa.

 

Costco has heavy duty 3'x4' horse stall rubber mats for $30 each. 2 of them fit like charm between the wheel wells and lengthwise in the 6.5' bed. Slight trim needed for the 5.5' bed, of course. They must weigh 40+ lbs. apiece and aren't going anywhere. Terrific traction. Nothing moves on them.

 

I went with the Trail FX bedmat. Seems most of these use the same material and have similar thickness......think it comes down to which design you like better. I like this one become it is simple.

Had my Rough Country mat since last summer and still smells. Left it out in the sun all winter, didn’t really change.

 

Got the call yesterday morning that my bed mat was in. Went in this morning to get it. Paid for it and headed around to the semi bay to throw it in the back. I get back there and a worker is like its got a big tear in it and it goes all the way through... okay, couldn't have told me that yesterday over the phone...? It was pretty obvious it was really damaged. Hoping the DC has another one. If so it will be here Friday, but I'll be out of town. Also have to send my door lights back as one had a busted prong... I have no luck today.
