Who's running a setup like this? Slides are nice, but I'm looking for a no-drill solution. I've got a LINE-X spray-in liner in the back of my 5.5' F-150, and I have a rubber mat over that. The mat is grippy and I doubt a fridge would move around on it much, but I want to secure it. I've seen people attach D-rings to the bed bolts and use those as tie-down points, but the mat covers the bolts so that won't work. I guess I could always just pack the bed tight so there's little if any room for movement. Thoughts?
Securing a fridge in a truck bed without drilling holes?

If it were my setup, I would cut slits in the rubber mat so you can pull the d-rings through while you need them then drop them back through when you don't.

Your best way is a tie down to the floor. if you look you can find expandable bars that push across the inside of the bed. I've used those in the past. Years ago I went through all that. I got tired of all the half azed way's that eventually loosened making my cargo unsecure. All my cargo is now tied securely to the floor.
Then again, its possible the terrain I drive is rougher than most. Your terrain is going to be what makes up your mind.

This is the correct answer. Neither people or your other cargo will notice the little cutouts in the mat.
