    The mats are stiff enough to span ribs in bed. The water drains out. Does not trap moisture unless you let it sit with crap under it for a considerable time. I probably do mine 3-4 times a year. Pull it out wash bed luck you would truck. Clean out 2 front slots that I enlarged. Done.

    I have a bed mat in my truck. If I lift the mat up 2 days after a rain...there's still water/moisture under it. That moisture - being trapped under there for long periods, isn't good for a 1st gen that already has rust started.

    Just finished installing the Horse Mat in my 2014 Short Bed Sport. Paid $38 and it worked GREAT! Thanks Andy.G for the suggestion.

    Yeah, bought mine in 95. It's 1 1/8 thick. Bought it the day after I bought the truck.(Jun 95)
    Yours looks good by the way. I used the cut outs behind the wells for years. They covered a little bit more bed.
