Looks great. I always worry these would get tore up, but I bet they're a lot more durable than I think. Ever haul dirt, mulch etc with a bedrug?
I have not but the wife likes to replace our mulch around the house every couple years. I read that it's not a problem but I might put a tarp in it when we do.

I have it too, it came out pretty nice, but I have a bulge by the wheel well from the way it was in the box. I was hoping that after some time it would go away.. i was wrong lol

Would you mind going into more detail with pictures and descriptions on how you did the bed lights and the switch? Mine are still temporarily covered by the Bedrug since I hadn't come across a way to handle them that looked good.

They are very durable, I was skeptical at first as well. I’ve had mine in my truck for a year now, without any sort of bed cover. My truck bed gets worked hard every day, either on the farm or in my business, and it still looks brand new when it gets hosed out. I’ve had no problems with gravel, bricks, logs, lumber, etc. and there are still zero punctures.

I treat my bedrug like it’s a regular spray-in bed liner, and it cleans up like new every time ??

I have a bed rug also. Very nice I like it except I had the dealer install it and it looks like crap around the cutouts

You have to pull the tail lights out to get the light and switch out and unplug. Don't use the cutout marks on the back they are not alway close. push the rug againt the bed and use a sharp new razor to carefully cut the hole from the outside. The lights clip in from the top and bottom, so trim the rug till the light just covers the rug at the top and it should pop in. Switch clips on sides so trim the sides but leave the top and bottom.

Excellent, thanks Craig! I'll give that a try.

Just installed a bedrug in my new 23 Platinum. I didn't like the installs with all the cutouts around everything, so I tried putting everything on top of the rug. The lights and switch was the hardest part. But if you take your time slowly trimming the top of the lights and sides of the switch it looks nice.

I had my Bedrug installed where I bought it. The installer forgot to cut out the cover over the 7.2Kw Generator. He then cut a flap over it. Turned out to be a good thing. When not being used, the flap protects the panel.

Retired and not looking. I am driving the wife crazy.
Your wheel well covers look nice and smooth. Mine has creases that I hope will come out with some heat.
Get a heat gun on it or go to McAllen, Texas and let it sit outside for a week in August.

Recently finished my bedrug install myself. I got the driver side cutouts perfect, but then screwed up the passenger light assuming the cutout aligned. Fortunately the mistake is hidden behind the new bed frame. Just spent a night camping and skiing.
