Just picked up my Mav and didn't have a bedliner or mat so I figured I'd try my hand at making my own. I picked up two packs of these anti-fatigue mats from harbor freight today https://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-anti-fatigue-foam-mat-set-94635.html.
They are 25" x 25" each so it took a bit of cutting to get them to fit. Originally I only was gonna use one pack but I didn't like the look of the exposed paint at the end.
I ran back to the store and picked up another four pack+ some zip ties and double-sided 3M tape. Cut the rest to fit, and I think it turned out pretty good!
As far as keeping them from blowing out I glued the entire thing together with a white gorilla glue pen, and then ziptied the front tiles through the fastener holes by the cab. I also put a couple strips of double sided tape underneath the mat towards the tailgate xD.
I took it down a country road nearby and got to like 85 with no issues of it flying out so I don't think it'll pose too much of problem. As far as durability I don't really intend to use my Mav for much heavy duty work, just moving the occasional couch, tailgating, and ski/camping gear the times I get to go.
It's not perfect but for a total of like ~$25 and a few hours of effort I'm not sure I could have done much better haha. Just wanted to make a post in case anyone else on here was considering doing something similar. What do you guys think?
