What did you do to your Ram today???

[ShenValley]

Just curious if anyone has seen anything along this line? I am not placing a bed liner in my truck so will have no section to protect the inside of the tailgate. But in reality those bed liners are typically slick anyway and I am looking for something more in the non-slip material. I cannot find anything such as a rubber form fitting blanket to lay on my tailgate while it is down and I need the surface to lay a few tools or items. I'm open to purchasing some kind of rubber 'ish" material as well and cutting it as well then I set it aside until I need it. My truck bed is covered with an Extang tri-fold so it can sit out of sight. If you cannot think of anything that is form fitting can you think of a good place to locate something that I can cut to cover the tailgate fairly well?

You could consider a truck bed mat. The Mopar one comes with the tailgate cover. I have a bed rug, and still put my mat over it, minus the tailgate cover.
WeatherTech sells just the mat. Good luck!

Why wouldn't you install a spray-in bedliner? If the cost is too much, then you could just spray the tailgate with a DIY can of the stuff. Are you looking for something softer?

Rubber commercial door mat from Home Depot. Cut to fit.

It’s what I use in the bed itself. Mine was about 40 bucks.

Thanks. I had already purchased and received the Husky bed mat which fits great. I wish I had seen the Mopar one with the tailgate mat.

I did a spray in with my last truck. Decided not to do it on this one. I have the Husky bed may which fits very nicely and just need something on the tailgate for when I want to place things on it.

In the past I used rubber bed mats with the separate tailgate mat but this time went with a Bedrug with the integrated tailgate cover. I love it. So much nicer on the knees when climbing into the bed to do anything.

Not my original post, but... It is the GT model. Don't know why, but this is what RAM went with. I would have preferred Rebel myself.

Correct. It’s the G/T. I would have rather Rebel too but the splash screen says Rebel. And it wiggles when the engine starts, so that has distracted me enuff to be too bothered. Hahah

I had Rhino lining on my last truck. The tailgate never showed any dents or scratches. But, it wasn't really what I would call anti-slip. It wasn't slick, like a bed liner, but it wasn't non-slip, like a rubber mat. OTOH, it's always there. No need to put it somewhere when the tailgate is up....

My new truck has the factory spray-in bedliner and It seems like it really sucks compared to the Rhino lining I had before. It doesn't seem to be nearly as thick and, I'm just guessing, will not protect from dents nearly as well.

Curious - I thought Rebels said "Rebel" across the top of the cluster. Why doesn't yours?

Strange they didn’t do that. AND another thing the G/T folk have to contend with is they gave us your TRX console. So there’s no good organizer for the lower part which is essentially stuff bouncing around in a 5 gallon bucket so i took an idear someone mentioned on the TRX forum and made my own with a Trekpak divider kit (for the pelican cases)

Came out pretty good!!

So this is also what I did to my RAM today.

Tints.

20% front windows, 35% over preexisting factory tinted glass everywhere else. Also had them put 35% on the back glass of the topper. Wish I had a good excuse for waiting until the end of the truck's second summer (40k miles) to do this.

[Unclepoot]

Installed the Bilstein 6112’s and Icon UCA’s today. That’s another first for me. I’m beat. Pics of the truck overall tomorrow.

 

[Scram1500]

I had to change out the red TRX ignition switch in the middle of a grocery store parking lot. It was completely dead and unresponsive, thankfully I still had the original in the glove box. My truck said no more lies, I'm a Bighorn!
