How easy is it to remove the swing cases if you want them out?
Pull on the yellow handle and it unlocks the case than just lift up from the hinges.
 
@SocalRico thoughts on swing case so far? Looking at installing them.

Had bakbox in previous truck and loved it but now have canister style cover so looking for another option
 
I have the swing cases as well. They are pretty neat. Well made and well designed. Very easy to use. As previously asked, they are super easy to remove- but you are left with the mounting brackets/hinge so still can’t use bed utility anchors (unless I am wrong and installed wrong).That said- you can’t use the bed utility anchor points as they mount in same location. Also- blocks the LED bed lighting.

Can you still use box link in the back? Just not the lower bed anchors? May just do 1 so I don’t lose all the lighting.
 
Box link can’t be used as far as I can tell. The brackets use that mounting location.
 
Decided against the swing case. Don’t like that it blocks light and can’t use box link. Good concept but those are 2 things that I use a lot.

Went with some front runner water proof boxes under the retrax canister

How hard is the Bed rug to install ?
It’s really not too difficult, but does take 1-2 hrs to do it right. There are lots of videos on how to install. The hardest part is making the rug go under the lights in the bed-you can just cut them out, but cleaner is to remove light and tuck rug behind it.

Then the power outlet section took some time just bc it’s so far down and getting the cuts right for the bolts/clips, etc. Not super difficult, just took some time and patience.

This was my 3rd install-for what I use the truck for bedrug is the only way to go.

Thanks for the reply. Local accessory shop wants $120 (Canadian) to do the install and they do very clean work. After think about it I will probably just have them do it lol.
