What He said.. ;)
Basically the same reason some people buy a no name stereo, and some people buy a high end stereo. There are $150 mats out there, but at 30lbs they'll blow out of your bed when cruising down the hwy. Or bunch up when you try and slide some lumber in the bed.
I wish we could, we don't mold these type of mats individually, so they are cut from a sheet. Unfortunately we cant really machine countersunk holes into it. Though that would be super cool!!
yeah, it's tough, we can't recommend fender washers and screws because so many tailgates these days have cameras, locks, etc.. could maybe do holes that line up with factory bolt holes and supply longer hardware.
Thanks for the responsse!
Yeah we thought of that, it would mean your would have to have some fender washers on there or something so the bolt wouldn't just pull through the mat. We were thinking of some sort of good quality double sided tape maybe 4 corners and s strip in the middle.
So we have a cut profile designed but we don't really have any way to attach the mat to the tailgate. In the past on other trucks the customer has always taken care of mounting. Would that turn people off from buying? Or are the gladiator bunch mcgivers and will figure something out?
Not random at all, someone who purchased from this forum told us to come check this forum as it was seeing lots of comments. I'm happy to be here. But if we're not welcome, I'll bow out.
Yes, we are currently working on a Gladiator tailgate mat! It should be out soon! How many people are interested in a non slip 1/2" thick rubber tailgate mat?
Got told by Chris and Another member that there was a post here about our bedmats. Awesome to see the comments!! If anyone has any questions about our product, I'd love to try and answer them. I'm going to talk to our marketing team and see if we can work on a site promo code for you guys!
