I will let you know soon as my G2 is in transit. When I talked to BAKs install guys on the phone they said the only cuts may have to be made where the side rails hit the front edge of the bed. Looking at my liner it looks as though there is enough already notched out that I won't have to do that.

I didn't cut my bedliner and it fits. Not sure if it would fit better if it was cut.

I installed my G2 last night. It took about 1 hour maybe a bit less. I did have to cut about an 1 inch notch in my liner to let the rail go completely to the front. I made the cut pretty easily with a utility knife. For now I have my drain tubes going behind the liner, but I don't like this in the long term. I am considering my options. I can not see any holes that go out of the bed near the cab. Are there some that may be hiding behind the liner? I am considering drilling my own holes if there aren't any.

I didnt cut the bedliner on our truck but it didnt seem to matter. The cover fits where it should anyway so if the rails are to far back the adjustment in the ***** at the front should take care of it. If i'm wrong, it's possible. I am missing the rear seal on mine and still waiting to hear back from Bak. I looked at my father-in-laws 09 Ram and on his there is a "hole" on the front of the box floor at the front that water could escape. Maybe someone on hear with a Crew Cab and no liner could post a pic of the area?

I just shoved the drain tubes out through where the front tie downs are, the tie down holes are open clear to the ground, put your tubes through the holes and then get under neath and you'll be able to see them hanging between the inner and outer part of the bed.

There should be a small slot at the front of the bed halfway to allow the water to run out of the bed. At least there is one in mine.

You can see the holes in the pictures I posted a few posts up. That should give you an idea of where to cut.
