Softer Landing
Our final product is the BedRug by Wise Industries. The BedRug makes an old crusty bed like new again, and it's an affordable alternative to spray-on or drop-in liners.

We've all had to crawl on our hands and knees in the bed of a truck. Not very comfortable, is it? That's when we learned the advantage of having a BedRug with its 3/4-inch padding the first time we used it, because the BedRug is so comfortable you can actually sleep on it.

It is an all-plastic liner that feels more like a short-ply carpet kit but is completely rugged for even the dirtiest cargo. It's made of tough polypropylene resin (plastic) that won't mildew or deteriorate. You can get it wet, wash it, or leave it uncovered in rain and snow, and never have to worry about it again. The BedRug can even be pressure-washed because it is a closed-cell polymer construction that can't hold water.

According to Justin Sagert of Pick-Up Parts, "The sides and headboard of the BedRug are all vacuum-molded and application-specific. It is oil and acid resistant, and it is designed to lie flat on the wavy bedfloor."

If there is a hint at trouble (and that's a big if), it would be with the durability of the Velcro-like fasteners that hold the BedRug in place. You can use an adhesive promoter to make the contact more secure. We'll try to bring you an upgrade on all the products you've seen here in a future issue or online. Retail pricing runs from $399 to $459 depending on application.

There you have it. Three new products that will transform your truck so that it becomes an extension of what you do whether you use it for work, play, or daily driving. Now we'll show you how easily these cool new ideas went together.
