Bed mat

[jsduty]

Hi all, I have DeeZee bed mat in the bed of my truck. What do guys do for preperation of the tie down bolts? Slit the rubber, Hole saw a hole big enough in the mat to fit over the bolts. Or just cut off the wings in front and back of the wheel wells? THANKS

Our FWC Dealer slit the bed mat to fit around the bolts.

A year and a half after I got a bed mat and I STILL haven't modified it to fit over, around, the eye bolts.

I like having a simple project at the ready in case I get bored.

FWC also slit our DeeZee bed mat to fit the tie downs.

I used a 1.5 inch hole saw to make holes centered over my eye bolts. My mat is a 3/8 thick rubber mat sold by GMC for the truck.

I bought a Black Armour from Canada for Ram 3500 Longbed with Grandby. Top notch.

Hole saw 100%.

Use high speed, push slow.

Clean install.

Measure twice. Drill once.

Don’t slit

Drill hole

Way way cleaner

Thanks for the replies, I will pass along the 1.5 hole saw option to my dealer. About a month to the new GRANDBY is deliverd.

I did the same thing.

I fastened thick rubber stripping to each under slat on the floorpak...then installed camper.

I wanted the space to breath and did not want to carry the extra weight of an entire bed mat.

YMMV

Holesaw looks like a great option. Nice pic.
