bed mats

I think when I bought mine, I read that it was 20 pounds. Been a while, so I could be off. I'll say this though: Best purchase you'll make for that truck. I can now put beer (and other, less important things) back there without it sliding around

 

The shortbed mat is no way 50 lbs.

I just received mine recently. Havent even put it on the truck yet. Shipping label says 18lbs. But on my home scale, it weights at 23 lbs.

 

Agree, just find a good way to tie down the kennel

 

if you wanna save some cash, get a can of that roll on bed liner stuff.

 

Get those sticky things you stick on the floor of the shower. :l

 

They're just little skill saws.. nothing worth tying down.. lol

Here's an idea, I don't know how well it would work.. but how about that grip tape? I had thought about trying it before I got the mat..
Its almost like sandpaper, so It should keep stuff from sliding around.

 

My vote would be for the Toyota bed mat. This all sounds like a lot of trouble to save a few dollars. The Toyota piece isn't remotely close to 50 lbs, looks very nice, stays flexible and sticky in all temps, leaves the rear d-rings exposed so you can secure your kennel, and fits perfectly. Sometimes trying to improve on that stuff produces a negative ROI, in my humble one-guy opinion.

 

One of my friends uses a Horse mat in his Pretaco and that thing is burly! I have been thinking about going that route as well.
