3W Bed Mat installed photos & review

[HCoopo]

I wanted to give a shout out to @3Wliners. There were gracious enough to ship me a 3W bed mat for my gladiator to test out. When I bought my Jeep, I didn’t have a spray-in bed liner already installed. I didn’t plan to do much hauling/transporting. Therefore, I allotted my budget toward other wants like lift, tires, top, etc. But this still left me with a bed exposed to the elements and I knew would get scratched up quick with my two Aussies in the back.

The 3W bed mat ended up being the perfect solution. It has a laser-cut, perfect fit. The other aspect that I really like, is the four corners have magnets that help keep the mat from slipping or the corners from riding up. Now my dogs can hop in without me worrying about them sliding all over and scratching the paint. 10/10 would recommend.

I was also shipped the all-weather floor mats pictured below. I haven’t had a chance yet to install them but so far, the look well built and have a nice rugged finish to them. More to come.

I like that it contours to the beds ribs and such. I got a cheap Amazon one and while it works, it doesn’t look this OEM.

I like those floor mats, do they allow for access to the drain plugs?

No.


My problem with bed mats - of ANY type or brand, is the fact that debris, sand, dirt, and so on, gets between the edge of the mat and the walls of the bed, and eventually under the mat.
I've had mats in the past and it seemed like I always had to pull them out, wash down the truck bed and bottom of the mat, let things dry, and put it back.
I get it if you don't have a spray-in liner and want something to prevent stuff from sliding all over the place on the slick paint, but have had mats, spray-in, and drop-in liners in various trucks over the years, I've settled on spray-in liner.
But i see this as one of the better options for those who prefer to skip the spray-in and just want a nice mat on the bed floor. Looks well thought-out.
Would be nice if they offered the 2-piece option, though - that tail gate is totally unprotected while you load and unload.
That's the bit that looks like crap after a while it not protected.

the only negative I've found with the 3WLiners, which really isn't a big negative because it's easily resolvable, is the magnets in the bedliner aren't glued in the greatest from the manufacturer. I've had a few of them come out and stay stuck to the bed. Easily fixed with some epoxy though.

Sometimes companies appreciate helful suggestions that come in the form of a polite way to resolve an issue. Perhaps they aren't aware of that little problem and can fix it at no real extra cost to them.
Just shoot them a note "hey, have you heard of this happening" and let them know of your fix.
I've seen some customer suggestions get implemented as they can't possibly test under every possible combination of scenarios, and over the time you can do.

My Line-x liner left the bed almost slicker than it was with just paint so I picked up a RC mat for like $75 off EBay. Who makes a spray liner that isn’t slick? Curious if I ever need to do it again with a different vehicle.

You can't slide things across the MOPAR factory spray-in liner. I'm sure others do that as well. You can often get various finishes from the better suppliers.

One reason I like the spray-in liner from the factory - it's rough, things like boxes and bags don't easily slide.
One reason I don't like it - it's rough, when wearing shorts working in the back of the truck, it's hell on the skin on your knees.

Some places, maybe even them, offer various types and finishes from smooth to rough as course sandpaper.

We got the 3W rugged floor mats for our Grand Cherokee. They fit like a glove and are very well made. I will definitely use them for my next Gladiator.

Yeah I message them about it. Overall they are a great product.

Nice looking bed mat! Thank you for posting. Something I may consider someday when the bed condition matters to me. Or I see it being grossly damaged. It doesn't matter today and I don't see major damage. Groceries and dogs go in my Gladiator bed, not firewood, dirt or bricks.

I have always used LineX Premium on my work trucks. But I couldn't justify the expense on my JT because it is not a work truck. LineX was the brand I picked many many years ago (a decade or more) and I stuck with them. Other spray-in brands are probably as good or maybe better now. IDK. But bricks and concrete blocks, tree stumps and sand and dirt and even rebar sticking out of old post concrete never did much damage to LineX premium.

Thanks for the popst.

I got the weather tech impact liner. Takes a beating . Occasionally, I'll pull it out and pressure wash the bed and mat.

Same! I bought the bedrug liner so I climb around wearing shorts, and not leave my hide behind. I really like the combination of the factory spray in liner with the bedrug. No rust! Easy to clean. Softer on my knees
