ok so i want to thank you guys for they help it is much appreciated reptar,hockster,Swoop,an xbx you guys all came through clutch for me an helped out alot so this is a quick picture guide for anyone else who may have questions
-first i whent to the store picked some alcohol wipes up to prep all the contact points for the bedrug an weather stripping for the bakflip
-then i chose to remove the tie down (me an my brother figured it would be easier to try it this way first). We also then set the bed rail up on the side an marked a point on the plastic grommet for the drain tube an drilled it out before anything else
-we then placed the bed rug in the truck only sticking the first 2 hook an loop fadsteners on to the floor of the bed to secure it. we then using a blade matched up the holes for the tie downs an pushed through on all 4 (i ould sggest running a piece of string or zip tie in the holes you created because they can be a pain to find again).
-we then whent on to finish installing the bed rug start at the back by the cab an work to the tailgate.i used 5 velcro strips per section an 5 per level (the sides you do 5 upper an 5 lower at your discretion make sure you look were your velcro will be contacting the bed you dont want it on a curvier surface try an have it on all flat points it makes life easier)we then finished attaching the bed rug***note: i did have a problem on the back left corner it whont sit flush but to be honest it dosnt bother me all that much because it was only the very top left corner where it meets the bakflip cover so its not visible unless the cover is completely off the truck(i can live with this) Also big big big warning do not DO NOT DO NOT let the Velcro(hook an loop fasteners ) stick to the actual bedrug it will screw it up an start pulling the material up!!!!!! be very careful to not let it come in contact with the actual bedrug you will regret it!!!!!!!!!
- then we installed the bakflip cover be fore warned the clamps are prone when tightening to move wich if you dont have your other hand securing it could lead to some pain when it slips. i could have done it by myself but its so much easier with another person.when your tightening down the clamps for the bed rail make sure the rail stays in place it will have a tendency to shift .I would highly suggest to check the rubber weather stripping when an after you are done installing the bedrails ,because when you are adjusting the rails the stripping may roll over itself an not give you a good seal ...if you want to prevent water from getting in i would fix this by running a credit card under it to pull it out an sits flat. i would suggest doing the middle first then the one closest to the cab followed bye the end one. you want the rail to sit flush on the back of the bed twords the cab to get a good fit. after that its a walk in the park. attach the tubes through the bed rug an your all done.
i am sorry the pictures suck but it was 25 degress in my garage an my truck dosnt fit all the way in so the door had to stay open so thats the best i could do
