Default Just bought a new 1500

Hello everyone. I am new to the Dodge truck family. A week ago I bought a 2001 Ram 1500 quad cab, red, 74,000 miles, drop in bedliner. I changed out the AM/FM/Cassette player with a CD player today. I was wondering if it would be bad at all to cut out holes in the bed liner where the holes are on the rails of the truck so that I can secure stuff in the bed. The only problem I can think of is that it would allow more rain to get and sit between the drop in liner and the bed.

I don't have the $$$ for it right now. I also really don't know the condition of the bed under the liner. It may be rotted already.

take the plastic bedliner out and throw it away. cost = 0.
if you want something that will keep stuff from sliding around, a low cost option is a rubber mat.

i agree you can take out your dodge truck bed liner, and you can have a nice bed rug/mat - which protects from scratches. you can also save some bucks
