As the title says, I just had my bed line-X and it didn't really cross my mind to tell them to take out any of the plugs, either the side oval shaped ones (4x) or the 2 big ones at the end of the bed at the bulkhead. The guy actually told me we he was going to spray over them I did not even really think about objecting. They did remove all my mounting points although they did spray over all the unfilled threaded holes in the bed still. Probably should have thought about it more, oh well.

Should I be worried about the plugs? as it doesn't seem like anyone has any idea what they are actually for as well as it seems that the bed walls are too weak for any kind of load bearing application anyway.

Thanks

I personally won't worry about them. Nice decal though.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well as I can't think of anything they would be useful for besides risking cracking the bedwalls with some kind of anchor. Really the only holes I will be using are the rear threaded holes for some kind of brackets for a bed cover as well as the square hole for an 12v plug.

Thanks

Personally I would use those openings to apply krown/fluid film.

But no need to worry about em.

Line x sprayed everything in my bed.

Installer told me to use a razor knife and trim around them if I needed to get them out
