After getting knocked down by the sticker shock of the OEM bed liner I began scheming alternatives. The local ag supply sells thick rubber mat, 4'x6' for around $30.
I grabbed a square of it, made a template from cardboard and cut out a bed liner.
It's very thick stuff.
Next step is to move the D rings to the top of the material. I need to get some longer bolts.
They will also serve to anchor it down, hopefully.

I have the longer tailgate cables on order.
Next step is to figure out a way to make the tailgate more friendly to work off of.
I may go simple and just use a piece of plywood. Its killing me trying to work off it with all those holes. Nothing will sit level.
Terrible design, IMO.

Why not just screw another chunk of mat to it? Not sure what exactly your working on i usually use the holes for holding bolts and screws. Lol

I fuel & sharpen my chainsaws, clean fish and sit my beer on it.
I may use the same material but use the tailgate bracket bolts to secure it.
Those holes are a menace to society.

Ah yeah board would probably be better all round if your cleaning fish.

You think that may would be good for mud flaps?

I like the flutes on the tailgate, they hold nuts & screws & things.

Hey Slackjaw, not sure if you already figured out how to strengthen the tailgate - but there is a member here who also has videos on YouTube where he fabs a piece of metal to fit atop the tailgate. makes it so you can sit on it. Seems like a really good product. Trying to find his videos again as that is the route I'm going.

Best-
