    I thought you guys might appreciate this trick I have been doing for the past 10 years on my Tacoma's with the OEM Bedmat. I slide a piece of cardboard under it and if you ever need to crawl under your truck, change a flat, or whatever it is there for you to pull out and use. I have never had an issue with the cardboard getting wet, we had 5 inches of Rain and 5 inches of snow last week and you can see it is still dry.

    Boy you ain't kidding. I headed to my property in Jackson Co. and found 4" of standing water everywhere on Saturday. I have to drive through a creek to get onto the property and it had been up about a foot. I left the same afternoon/early evening and it had 4" of snow on top of that... It rained so hard during the week my trail cam picked it up lol.

    Good idea for people that don't carry anything in the bed! HAHA. Yanking your chain. Very good idea. Always need a dry surface to lay on and it seems like when shit goes down, its never on a nice sunny day. It goes down when its raining cats and dogs. I have 300-400 pounds of firewood and shit in the bed of my truck so I can never lift my mat. Maybe a rolled up yoga mat? lol
