Today were going to cover a frequently asked question on how to cut out a bed liner for
a fifth wheel installation. Its pretty easy, well measure for our cross rails just like
normal and then well go ahead and mark out our bed liner. Measuring from the edge of
the bed of the truck, not the bed liner, but the edge of the bed and measure out. Well
go do one side, well go to the other side and make a mark as well. Now those will be
the marks thatll align our first rail way. Well make sure that our rail is even from
left to right. Well just use the ribs in the bed liner to
align it with and then well just draw a circle all the way around the rails. Then next well
go ahead and use the legs of the fifth wheel hitch to place our second rail and now this
will put our rail basically in the right stop and well just draw an outline around it as
well and then the next step is go ahead and remove the parts for the fifth wheel and remove
the bed liner and we can go ahead and cut out what we need. Before we make our cut outs
well go ahead and support the bed liner up in the air a little bit with a couple pieces
of timber. Well go ahead and drill some pilot holes for a saw were going to use to make
the final cut out. So lets take our saw and well trace on the outside of our line and
just cut it out.
