    Got the bed liner down on the floor. Not the greatest of work. But it's going under mats and the carpet so doesn't need to look great. Hope it'll help with road noise tho.

    That would have been way too much work. Plus he then would have needed to repaint it all. At least using all the cab and bed from the other truck its all the same color.
