BedRug install and evaluation

[Old77]

What: BedRug bed liner
From: truckmods.com
On: 1998 Chevy K1500 extended cab short bed

Ease of install: 1/10 (1=the easiest)
Quality of Material: 9/10
Fit and finish: 9/10
Time needed for install: 1 hour or less

I was asked to give a quick write up of this so here it is.

The install was super easy with no tools needed. The liner comes in two pieces. One piece for the sides and front wall and another piece for the floor and tailgate. These two pieces zip together. Before you put anything in the bed you'll need to clean it real good. The liner stays in place via Velcro strips provided in the kit. That Velcro then adheres to the bed so it needs a nice clean surface.

The fit and finish is pretty good. There are some spots along the wheel wells that's not as snug as I'd like but I'm thinking that as the sun hits it it'll form around the wheel wells better. The quality of the material also seems to be pretty good and definitely looks nice right now.

This is my first BedRug so I'll be interested to see how it does with holding up to snow, ice and rain as well as when I use the bed as a truck bed is to be used. I am generally very easy on my trucks but there are times when I use them to haul mulch or lumber or something.

Here are some pics to show how easy the process is. It took me roughly an hour but I was taking my time and also dealing with my 8 year old at the same time lol

Looks good man, I just recently got the universal bed rug bed mat and cut it to fit since I have sprayed in bed liner and love it so far. No issues but I have mine under a tonneau cover.

I have one of these in the 800, and its awesome. Had to replace a chunk where there was paint dried to it, but otherwise it's awesome. Works well with the cap for camping/hunting. I love it compared to the plastic one I had in the 400. So much nicer to crawl around.

Looks good! What made you go this route rather than a spray in bed liner such as Line-X or Rhino linings?

 

[Old77]

Thanks guys!

77Concours, I went this route because I got a deal I just couldn't pass up so I had to give it a try

Looks good, though I would put bedliner paint first to treat some rust spots.

 

[Old77]

I don't have any rust spots so not needed in my case

I know this is old now, But hoping you have an update on longevity, whether you went another route or what. Thanks! Also, how did you get the right one for our trucks? I don't even see an option on their website for our years?

well, I sold the truck to my best friend. He had it for about a year or so. In the time it held up great. It's not on to at least one more owner if not more so I cannot vouch for it now. I wouldn't hesitate to put it into another truck, though. It was a good product.
