Rubber bed mat

[Jake]

Tried looking at Lowe’s and at Home Depot for some rubber that I could cut to the shape and dimensions of a Gladiator and they really do not have anything very thick at all. So I checked on line. Found lots and companies that sell mats pre-cut to the shape of many other trucks, and to their tailgates as well, but none for the Gladiator. Anyone know who sells such mats for the Gladiator? Anyone already done this to their Gladiator and tailgate? Love to know and to see pictures. And yes I know I could just use a piece of carpet. But I will prefer a tailored look of rubber from one of the aftermarket companies.

I don't believe there is anything available yet most have been going to Tractor Supply and picking up some horse trailer mat and cutting to fit cost less than the universal truck mats you have to cut plus thicker. This was my plan.

Thanks for the info @Up venture. Will check into them.

This is what I did. One 4 x 6 mat at Tractor Supply will run you $50. Cut it with a box knife. I'd also suggest a carpeting hook knife. It really makes the job easier and with fewer passes.

Thanks

I'm doing the same.

That’s what I did.. Tractor supply 4’x6’ 3/4” thick stall mat. It was $44 and an easy cut with a utility knife. My only complaint is that it hold heat, so it gets hot when in the sun. Did a landscape job and had taken my shoes off to switch to flip flops and hopped in the bed to get them and dang near burnt the skin off. My feet are not sensitive as I often am barefoot, it was just hot. It does an awesome job of protecting the bed and keeping stuff from sliding around. I have since installed a tonneau cover and just wear my shoes if it’s been open to the sunlight.

Thanks, may try that if no aftermarket company comes out with a pre-cut one by the time I get my truck.

I contacted BedRug and they're still working on their product for the Gladiator. They said it will not interfere with the Trail Rails so it'll come up underneath it.

I've had BedRugs before (have one in my Raptor) and I really like the product. It's super durable and it's not black rubber so it doesn't get boiling hot which is a problem in the summer especially here in Arizona.

They design their BedRugs to fit all the features like tie down loops, bed lights, power outlets, etc. so I'm waiting to see what they come up with.
