BedRug support so *AWFUL* it deserves a thread.

My velcro strips were literally lined up right with the bolt holes. Dead center. Sounds like there is some variation in production. I removed the velcro. Bolt length wasn't the issue. Lining up hole 5 on the rear at the same time as the 4 on the bedside was the issue due to the velcro.

Yeah you have to pull up on the rug so that the strip sits higher. It was the same on my Tacoma. So yes, then you make your "own" slits with the knife right below the strip. It's all diy pretty much when it comes to making your bolt holes. There might be a Tacoma installation video floating around so maybe look for one of those.
Oh and do the back wall first. Then move to each side mounting the side rails moving front to rear. Last thing should be to put in the rear sides and then in the end the tailgate. Oh and then also make sure that underneath the entire rug is sitting right in the grooves if the bed perfectly really before fastening anything down. An then the final touch is tightening all bolts and anchor points.

I hope your experience is a flyer. Overall I'm very pleased with my XLT bedrug, had over a year and I love it.

Thanks for all the great info in this thread, installed mine last night with the utility rails. Definitely a time consuming process to get all the holes positioned correctly to match up to the utility rails, but looks great when done. I just need to grab some adhesion promoter to stick down the bedrug around the bed lights and onto the tail gate areas.

For the install with the utility rails, I actually cut a vertical slit into the bedrug in the upper rear corners (where the utility rails meet the back of the bed) to allow it to better conform around the corners to the tailgate opening and not bunch up so bad at the back corners of the rails. Seems to have helped me anyways.

If anyone has questions/comments let me know.
