Drop in bed liner installed better than expected!

[James]

Look awesome! I kinda like it better than spray in. If stained etc...just get a new one...good to go!
We have an 89 Ranger, 313k with FORD drop in liner....absolutely no rust issues at all and looks great still....after life of lite farming duty use!

I agree, I had a 1986 GMC Sonoma with a drop in liner. If you ever haul sand, dirt or gravel you will appreciate how easy it is to clean out and how well it prevents damage.

I like my dibl. It protects the bed in ways the spray in could never do. The only problem is that it is slippery and large loads slide around even when strapped down. The ease of cleaning makes up for it.

Mine arrived months after the tool boxes and the tonneau cover were installed. It made for an interesting fit but with a bit of trimming it went together.

Does the tailgate cover come with the bedliner? I see it listed available separately and its not clear if it comes with the bedliner on the ford site.

I just finished the drop in bed liner on one of my trucks and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it its, I’m not a fan of the drop in but this one surprised me, I’m not going to let my trucks get pass the warranty period so having a drop in works great to transfer it to the replacement trucks. The 5 piece set up is easy to install and the fit and finish is great, the hardest thing to do is cut out the holes for the cubbys but is all very well marked on the back well worth the 350 I paid.

Looks great! Working on mine now, how the heck did you cut out the holes? Pretty thick stuff and wondering the best way to do it.

I just used a jigsaw just follow the line on the back

Great thanks. I just moved and it's packed away but hopefully, I can get it out tomorrow as I was trying to install it then.

Also FYI, the DIBL will not protect the entire tailgate when you're sliding things in and out:

I had to take it out to my drop in bed liner and is being sprayed by Line X. What a pain on the ass. I got the Lux Pkg and when they attached the tailgate piece the screws they used didn’t fit after I took it off. After taking off the all rails and hooks I had to go buy automotive trim screws to hold my tailgate together. Great job Ford

Man, that's a bummer. When installing the drop in bedliner originally I was able to reuse the hardware but had to install these goofy spacer looking washers that keep the bolt heads from crushing the plastic.

Was wondering about that. Thanks. I'm thinking of trying a piece of pond liner slipped underneath. Not sure if would accumulate water though.

This video has a contractor who prefers the drop in because it does not get scratched and beat up from construction materials like the spray in version.
