I too went with the mat instead of the liner. I feel it offers the
protection I need plus it really keep things from sliding around unlike in
a full liner. A couple of things to watch for in a Tonneau cover, avoid
the snaps as they can be a real bitch to get those last few snapped and
also watch what kind of frame it uses. Look for a cover that can roll up
out of the way and allow FULL bed access. The one I have now has a frame
across the back which is a real pain to work around. I'm going to replace
my current one, a Lund with snaps, with an Access, by Agri-Cover, roll-up
model just avoid these problems. The Access uses only side frames with
hook and loop. The Lund came with the truck as a dealer option and I see
they are now using the Access as their option.

Subject: Bed Protection
This is my first post to the forum.
Two weeks ago I purchased a 1997 Dakota Sport - 3.9 - 5 Speed - Emerald
Green. I love it, I've put 500 miles on it, and haven't really gone
anywhere.
My question concerns Bed protection. Liners ? Spray-in Liners? Cover? Cap?
I get a different answer from everyone I ask. I am leaning toward just
going to Walmart and buying the heavy duty rubber mat for the floor of the
bed, and at the end of the summer putting a Tonneau cover on.
I'd like to hear what others have done - and suggest.
Thanks - Dave
