Default Anyone put carpet in truckbed?

Seen this at a truck cap place, a rug liner for the bed, sides and bottom plus the tailgate. But they want big money to do it, anyone out there make their own? easy or hard job?

I did with my last Ram with cap. I loved the carpet. I used a old piece of commercial kitchen carpet. It worked great.

this man did so. It wasn't me so I can not tell if this was anny success or not.



I did see this car for sale yesterday and was thinking the ovner have to be a very cleanly person. He claim that this was a good way cause he did use plywood and rubber-paint (some kind of) to seal the wood.
well, not the way I would go but anyway it looks nice..
I think it is ok to use roll on bedliner like Herculiner.

my bed is carpeted. not the sides or the tailgate but the whole bottom is. i like it.
i wouldnt think it would be hard to do the sides or the tailgate yourself.

I have a buddy who has the entire bed lined in carpet. Sure it's a little dirty but it sure makes loading and unloading a breeze when dealing with items. I have the LineX spray in liner and I love it but my buddy loves his carpet.

Try the bed rug, it's about $370 but it'll hold up very well from what i've seen. The local parts shop had some 4"X6" free samples so I grabed one and tried to F it up, I painted it, drug it on concrete, smashed a concrete block on it, poured every solovent and chemical I could find around my shop on it, drilled it, set it on fire and then some and I'll say it's pretty freakin durable and still feel just like carpet even though it's plastic.

I love the look of a bed rug liner. If I only had the money.

You can buy em from the dealer too, but thier price is $399. Awhile back I was looking into them but I just don't have the money now... getting out of the navy in the beginning of Feb.
