    Oh, I didn’t realize it was a triple wax foam. Belay my last.

    I locked mine up under my topper :D
    This seems like a more realistic problem iso of a solution than a recent thread concerned with 'bed mat theft'. On the flip side, if you do lose your mat, I hear there's a thriving black market for cheap mats on craigslist. Maybe you'll find some good ideas (and a good laugh) in this thread.

    Thanks, I almost forgot the new rule:
    Every bed mat thread needs at least one purchase link for fake dog poop.

    Mine's a cut down F150 mat and that puppy weighs in at 80 lbs. and doesn't wiggle in the car wash!

    Before I traded in my Tacoma I had a bed mat for 3 years, never secured it, no top, tonneau or nothing. Just a locked tailgate. It's pretty heavy and unwieldy .

    Tangential question: my radio antenna keeps getting snapped off in the drive through car wash. I’ve gone through at least ten. Any way to make it more sturdy? Like strap a wooden pole to it or something?

    Well, I’m torn between the wooden pole option and welding on rebar. Weighing pros and cons.

    Yank out the antenna, jam the rebar in as deep as it'll go. Wrap the shredded antenna wire around the rebar. Enjoy your new plethora of radio stations.

    If my real problems would ever just take a break, I’m probably going to pick up a problem like this one just to keep me busy.

    I drilled a hole about 2” from the front in the center. I bought a stainless bolt, washer, and wing nut. You have to climb underneath to screw on the wing nut. It flops around but never comes out. I run my 12 year old black truck through the car wash daily on my unlimited pass. Still looks new.

    You seriously take your truck through a carwash almost every morning? I get made fun of for washing mine once a week.
