I bought some rolls of adhesive stair tread non slip material and ran it around the bottom perimeter of the basement. That stopped almost all of the bed movement.

The surface was slicker (smoother), and being thin they had no cush to allow the TC bottom to imbed in as well wrap into the ribs of the truck bed. They are too rigid to completely form to the truck bed ribs and closings off the drainage.
That's good to know! I had read some comment about stall mats being overly heavy? But it sounds like the thickness is part of the appeal.

It was just painted from the factory. I built a platform that I attached to the bottom to add structural strength to the floor so it could be used off truck like the newer T/C's. I attached it with 5 straps like the one in the side view pic. The sides and bottom I sprayed with rubberized undercoating to seal it and prevent water intrusion. I ended up rebuilding most of that T/C and modified it to suit our needs, there's a thread here documenting it somewhere. Wish I kept it.
Wow! Thanks for the pics! That is an awesome project. Is the white part of the flooring sheet insulation?
