Harley#356’s How-To’s


BEDRUG


Purpose behind the Mod:
Okay I know this one is way too easy for needing a how-to, but going through all my old how-to photo's I never got up, and wanted to put this one up there for the newb's thinking about getting one to show them just how EASY it is to install one of these!

These things are more durable than you may think too! Its no frilly carpet, these things are water proof, stain proof, puncture proof, made of plastic yet feel comfortable enough to sleep on! Dirt, Cement, OIL, BLEECH, all wont affect it! Plastic liners screw the paint up and capture moisture. Spray in liners are still slippery, add weight, and aren't comfy to crawl on. Bedrug combines the best of both worlds!

Need:
-Bedrug
-Velcro (included)
-91% Isorproply Rubbing Alcohol



Tools Needed:
-Torx/Hex Bits (to remove tiedowns & bed extender)
-Razor Blade (to cut carpet around bolts)



The Prep:
Wash the bed with blue dawn dish soap to remove any wax/grease/etc. so the velcro sticks. Dry and prep any areas the velcro will run with 91% alcohol. (Photo's 1-3)

The Install:
Remove the tie downs and bed extender hardware, and reinstall just the bolts. It makes it easier to find the holes after the bedrug is in.

Set the bedrug in place, and folding it over 1/2 at a time, remove the velcro backing paper working from the middle towards the outside. The velcro is EXTREMELY strong so try to set it once! If you ever need to remove the bedrug, most of the velcro will probably break, but just call up bedrug and they usually send out free replacement velcro kits!

After the velcro is all set and bedrug secured, take a razor knife and go back and find all the bolt heads and cut an "X" over them and push the bedrug down to pop over the bolt. Now just remove the bolt, install the tiedowns & bed extender hardware over the rug, and put the bolts back in. This is also a perfect time to upgrade to the 03 HD chrome bed tiedowns if you haven't already!
