Rear Bed Mat

I want a rear bed mat, approximate size of 78" x 54". What does everyone use, The only thing I found was a large van mat but it was expensive and I would cut it down and waste a lot of material. Please share ideas and sources for a new guy, many thanks.

 

I went to the ranch supply, and bought a horse trailer mat. They are 5X10-ft, and are about 5/8-inch thick. They are thicker than the vehicle mats, and do a better job of keeping the bed from getting dinged.

I used the off cuts, as anti-fatigue mats in the shop.

 

I have a dump truck and I bought a 3/8 HDPE plastic sheet to prevent damage and to make it easier to dump.

 

I’ll second Jigs on the stall mat. Heavy and thick and quiet things down quite a bit.

 

I agree, with the stall mat! First I painted the bed and inside of the fold down sides with rubberized bed liner, then I throw the mat in, and it really works great! Pretty reasonable cost wise too!

I did similar, went to tractor supply and bought their mat (probably a stall mat)

it was like this one: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/utility-rubber-mat-black-4-ft-x-3-ft-x--frac12-in

but it was I think 4X6-6" and it was 50 Bux

just marked it with a grease pen and cur it with heavy shears.

Still working well a year or so later.

Good luck
