Pond in my bed-liner?

My Ranger came with a bed liner, and the way I have it parked, water stands in the bed. Should I drill some holes to let the water go out as it comes in? If so, where are the outlets located in the metal bed? In the corners near the cab?Hate to be so silly, but I need some ideas. Stay cool Guys. I'll be back. DARBY:wavey:

there are no outlet holes in the actual bed of the truck, if you drill holes in the plastic bed cover there would be no point cause it would just stay in between the two and actually that is worse off, cause it will start rust. And that is not good! Do not drill through your bed because they you have just given rust and open door to eat your truck alive. lol. Just my $.02

the bed has a seam in it that will let water out but you do not want to drill holes in the liner. the more water that goes under the liner the more chance that you will develope a rust problem.

re darby's pond

stock it with trout just kidding. i posted a message for all liner owners to read before the site dissapeared last weekend. liners are the worst thing for truck boxes!!! it's fine if you want to throw one in to go get a load of sand or top soil (real fast cleanup), but liners will scuff the paint inside your box, creating a home for rust to start. you'll allways get condensation forming between the liner and box. now you have the right conditions for rust. my nephew has sprayed on over 300 spray on liners, and some of the older trucks have been a disaster. lots of prep work needed before spraying liner. spray ons can be more money, but last a lot longer without reducing the value in your truck. if you want to go cheap, buy a roll on from a can. if you've got money to spend, spray ons are a very good investment, and can be colour coded to your truck, not just black.
