[QUOTE="andreb, post: 1246859, member: 16801"] A few times now I've been caught out in the rain or snow and had a full bed load with no way to keep things dry. I've tried tarps, plastic, etc. all with limited effect. I've been looking for something like this for a while and found it the other day while searching the internet. I almost had a custom made tarp done in a similar manner, a "diaper" if you will that wraps up your cargo. [url]https://portabletruckbedliner.com/[/url] I purchased the "Full Size Truck - Bed length (small) 63" - 71" version and its a perfect fit for the Raptor bed. It easily holds a full bed load up to the top of the rails and would probably go 12" over the bed rails if needed. The interior is black while the exterior is silver. I wasn't crazy about the color but in the hot sun the silver helps to reflect some heat.
