Has anyone gotten a rubber tailgate mat for their Gladiator? I see that WeatherTech has a custom one and I have the DeeZee rubber bed mat already. Looking to see if there was a custom fit one for the tailgate that looks similar. I see that DeeZee and Westin have universal fit ones but nothing custom for the Gladiator specifically.

I have the smartliner bed mat, but before I got it, I had a 48” wide rubber floor mat for temporary protection of my painted bed. With the smartliner installed, I left the floor mat under neath but pulled out to cover to the end of the tailgate. It is not attached to the tailgate, but does provide protection from scratching the paint and also bridges the gap between the bed and tailgate. The only down side - if you can even call it that, is that it is 3 -4” longer than the tailgate when the tailgate is closed, so it has to be rolled over under the tonneau when I close the tailgate.

I'd love to see a mat that gets screwed on to the tailgate, and is just long enough to cover the gap. Then it would just fold as you close the tailgate. That's my fantasy anyway.

I bought my rubber mat from them about a month ago. Fits perfect. I also bought an Under Cover
Flex hard tonneau cover from them. (3'rd one) What do you mean by nope?

They mean nope because the thread is about a rubber mat for the gladiator TAILGATE. Most of the posts I received here just send links to the generic auto sites for the rubber truck bed mat. As noted in the original post, already have one of those. Looking for a custom rubber truck bed mat that isn't WeatherTech.

I'd like to see that too, that'd be great.

If you go on their website there are 3 mats for the tailgate.

Thanks, but unless I'm way off those are universal fit rubber tailgate mats that require trimming, was looking for a custom one made to fit the Gladiator. Regardless since there's been a lot of debate here I think it's safe to say that unless you want a BedRug or WeatherTech one, they don't have a custom fit one.

It looks like you are correct. No rubber ones that are custom fit. If a person can cut straight, they could make it look custom. It's not rocket science we're attempting here.

It's easy to find generics. We're trying to find one made for this vehicle specifically.

Yesterday I ordered a GapShield cover for the gap between the bed and gate. I think that will give me what I want. Next up is finding weatherstripping heavy enough to cover the huge space between the body and tailgate, to keep dust out. After only a little bit of off-road time, my bed is really dirty.
