Tailgate protection?

[RS3]

What is everyone using for tailgate protection? For now I will not have any bed liner so I just ordered the DeeZee bed mat. I would like something to protect the tailgate but I don't care for the mats. Looking for something that will make it a little easier sliding stuff across. I don't need anything real fancy but need something to be durable and easy on the knees if I need to climb up into the bed. I will probably get the spray in liner down the road. I almost ordered the Smartliner bed mat but they can't seem to respond as to what thickness it is. So what have you got?

I have a rugged liner bed liner which includes the tailgate piece, works great and was under $200

I do like the DeeZee tailgate board but think the price is a bit high for what it is.

Wonder if paint on liner material would work. I don't have the bed liner but do have a bed mat that works great. Would it look strange just of have the tailgate lined?

Same set up here. Dee Zee thick rubber bed mat with Rugged Liner plastic tailgate liner. Tailgate liner came from Amazon. Part number JG20TG. This is made directly for Gladiator tailgate with mount holes that match factory mount points for a no drill install. I called Rugged Liner directly to get the part number for the tailgate liner alone without the bed liner.

Do you have pictures of the tailgate with the liner installed?

Anyone use a full bottom liner with the tailgate part attached? Wondering if that would keep the dust out. Example:

I have the full size one piece Bedrug bed mat/tailgate mat in my Gladiator. I love it. They sell the tailgate mat separately.

I just received the liner a couple of weeks ago. Still waiting for my new JTM to arrive at the dealer. The sales rep I spoke to at Rugged Liner said it was designed specifically for the Gladiator and would fit perfectly. By looking at tailgates on JT's on my dealers lot, it looks like it will. Worth the fifty bucks to try.

BedRug makes a tailgate mat. It grips the tailgate underneath and makes it easier to slide things in and out of the bed. It features a ¼" thick foam backing to provide a cushion for your knees when accessing your truck bed, using only hook and loop fasteners for an easy, no damage install.

We are offering 5% off BedRug products until Tuesday as well so it's a great time to get one. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and we can work out the discount.

I've got the spray in liner so I'm not doing this, but I really like what these guys are up to:

I have the weathertech tailgate liner. Happy with it thus far.

I have the bedrug for the main part of the bed and a weathertech tailgate liner
I liked the fact that the weather tech attaches via the torx head bolts already in the tailgate and velcro.
So far it works great
