Im soo tired of my plastic crappy bedliner filling up with water when it rains. also I cant properly clean it:annoyed:. If I drill holes in the bedliner will this create a rust issue on the bed? that fear is the only thing keeping me from doin this?

Heres a pic just for the hell if it. when funds allow I'm going to get a spray on done.

I don't see why it would cause an issue as long as it drains out of the bed as well. Which might not happen, depending on if your bed has drain holes or not. I just park with my rear end facing downhill. Solves the problem for me.

smart ideakoda. wish mesa wasnt so flat:icon_thumby:
 
You should pull the bedliner out about twice a year to inspect and clean from under it and touch up any places that have rubbed through the paint.

I clean my bed and bedliner when I have the front on ramps doing oil changes.
 
i sold mine 2 months ago for 150 bucks...i spray painted the bed the original truck color... its also got cheap clear coat on it too
 
park with the tailgate downhill... I wouldn't drill the bed or liner....
 
Don't complain about living in Mesa! I wish I lived there.....

I hate it here jay! I loved Mississippi but the company I worked for was going under and the economy sucked. My solution was to move back to AZ where Mom and Pop have a company to work for. When the economy is fixed(IF) I will either move back to Biloxi or move to Prescott area
 
Even a slight angle would let it drain. Where I park it's barely enough to notice, but if you park the other way you can go swimming.

Its like PANCAKE FLAT. I may have to manufacter A plywood ramp and just ease up it a little during rainy season here.

EDIT: Does my Ranger(99 stepside) Have factory holes in the front? My F150 company worktruck did and it was a 2002(salvaged from Hurricane Katrina, biggest POS but it was a 4x4. I used my ranger half the time because of electrical issues )
