Drop-in bedlner

[frogdor]

After a 9 month wait, I picked-up my on XLT Hybrid this week. Only about 150 miles to date and I'm totally over the moon about this cool little truck. I also bought the Ford drop-in bedlner. I've scanned thr QR code on the sheet enclosed with the liner and also the QR located in the bed in an effort to get installation directions. No luck; I get to a screen that shows "Body Repair" and "Accessory Installation" but clicking on Accessory Insrallation does nothing. Any help on finding install directions would be appreciated.

@frogdor , here is a much better video:

Don't forget to cut out the holes for the cubbies. I cut out both sides because I installed a second cubbie.

Also cut out the access for the two 12v power accesses.
I drilled all 4 corners of each hole with a step drill to give nice clean corners

I plan to install D-rings on the sides so I cut out those holes as well

I held back on cutting holes, figuring as poor as the directions were, I likely had something wrong and would have to R&R the liner to fix. I also want to install the string of LEDs that I bought earlier. The soft tri-fold topper also has rubbery gaskets to be applied on/near the tailgate, and I want to be sure they will do the best job. Besides, I can procrastinate better than a lot of others...
I really like the modular liner. Good fit, good quality and seems to be made of tough stuff. It could outlast a SIL, such as Rhino Liner or Line-X, or even the factory applied SIL.
As I just read concerning the 2024 MY, the modular will be the factory product listed in an upgrade package rather than a SIL. Apparenly the off-premise, non-factory contractor that drilled so many gas tanks will no longer be supplying SIL serviced for the Hermosillo factory.

It's a good choice, nothing bad to say about the drop in liner after almost a year.

I had the same issue when I purchased my DIBL. The QR code went to a dead end. Luckily, I found a PDF of the instructions somewhere on the internet.

The PDF is too large to upload to the forum so I have dropped it in a DropBox: Ford DIBL Install Instructions

I used a cordless jigsaw to cut the openings and a large drill bit to make a hole in the opening corners. Then I used a sharp utility knife to trim everything up. One word of caution though; it makes a huge mess!

Don't know why they don't make composite bed like Tacoma's? Had mine for last 13 years - much better than drop in or liner!

People seem to think that composite beds are bad, they'd rather have a steel one that rusts.
