Bedrug regrets

Love mine!!

Nice and cushy, SOOO much easier on my old skateboarder knees.

I like that things stay where I put them unless I want them to move. My CPO '19 came with a plastic drop-in liner (Hate those things) you so much as look at your brake pedal and everything is up against cab.

 

Best thing since sliced bread.

 

I agree. I purchased a universal piece (no wheel well cut outs) for my decked system for the pups. Had enough length to add a piece on the tail gate. It's holding up very well. I pull the piece out of bed, put it on the garage floor and run the vacuum over it to get the dog hair and dirt off. Easy peasy.

 

Oh cool, I didn't know they sold it like that.
Are there set lengths or can you order it by the foot?

 

Got any sort of write up and parts list on your nice little electrical box in the bed? That would certainly be handy for sure!

Also, another huge vote for the Bedrug! My setup is below in the bed.

 

It’s one length. 98” long

Ooohh, very nice! I've been thinking about doing something similar.

Yeah, I did do a little writeup after someone else asked. Lemme' see if I can find it.

Awesome, thank you sir!

 

I don't have a Bedrug in the Tundra yet, But my Tacoma has had one since 08. Only complaint is trying to get the dog hair out. Impossible task for sure. Besides vacuuming every now and then, park on a hill, get a hose and spray it out from inside the cab back window. This thing is 15 years now and still looks good. For you camping guys you need a Kamp-Rite 4x4 Mat. Fits the bed like a glove and 3" thick. Your back will thank you. Kamp-Rite Double Compact Self Inflating Sleeping Pad | eBay

This thing is a work out, but it works great on scraping dog hair off the bed rug to be able to vacuum it up. I have never tried any of those "carpet" brushes, but curious how they would work.

 

Ooooooh. Interesting. I have been trying to figure out a way of putting a water proof electrical outlet and other charging ports into my bed. I didn't think of putting it in a metal electrical box that you attach to the rails.... Hmmm. How's that worked out for you?

 

Absolutely zero regrets.

BedRug was the 2nd mod I did. First one was a LineX spray-on liner. I'm indifferent about having that -- I thought it'd be really important to have but with the rug in place I'm not sure how much it adds. But it was a concession I forced the dealer to include anyway, since I couldn't get them to move even a dime on the price. So after that, I added the full BedRug (bed floor, all three side walls, plus the tailgate). I added it at the same time as BakFlip MX4, which required relocation of the rails. But it all worked out really well. The BedRug looks fantastic, and even more importantly, it makes climbing around in the back of the bed so much more comfortable. My biggest worry is it would make moving things around hard to do but everything slides in and out like it's supposed to (and yet doesn't slip around significantly while driving)

I have two complaints about the BedRug and only two. One is that it is very hard to clean. They told me it'd be as simple as washing it out. But if you get leaf litter, dog hair, and other similar things on the rug, it will get stuck in there and a huge jetspray is not even enough to get it out. Gotta brush it out. I just deal with it.

Second complaint is that it is a royal pain in the ass to remove the liner. It has a zipper that runs along the whole perimeter, but the zipper faces down to the truck instead of up. For aesthetics etc. that makes sense. But it is really, really hard to zip or zip unzip.

 

It's working out REALLY well!

I use it a couple of times a week to plug in my portable shower and rinse off after surfing, and it (plus having bedlights) makes my life way easier. I used to have to run an extension from the back seat out the rear slider, turn the key on, blah, blah, blah... now I just drop the tailgate and plug in!

If I were doing it again, I might use one of the cool boxes that @dittothat used (I linked it in the write-up) but I'm maybe $20 all in for this. The single-gang box I used is barely big enough when you go to tuck everything in, but I wanted to keep it as small as possible.

My original plan was to flush mount the receptacle in the bed, but this saved me from drilling holes in my bed and is probably more weatherproof.
