Best tailgate insert?

I was lucky n scored an aluminum one for a 3rd gen from Craigslist, just cut the the top off and can’t tell with my kb voodoo cap

 

The bedrug and trim were a nice addition

Pakrax is what I have...

 

I scavenged an old foam kitchen mat my wife threw out. Double sided tape to attach it. I can kneel on it for hours to dig into the bed under my softopper.
It's waterproof too.

 

I went with mobtown plate and cap. I put the factory piece back on. It's quite a bit heavy so I added a cheapo hydraulic shock that works great with assisting with lowering. Just have to manually tuck the cable when closing. Liking it so far

 

This is my helper installing our Tailgate Insert.
Home Depot $20.00 CND.
1/8” rubber mat, double sided outdoor tape.
But a boom but a bing it’s done.

 

not saying that Hooke Road is really good, but i see them pop up on Ebay for like $80's every so often.

 

I ordered one the other day off Amazon, looks good and feels a hell of a lot better on my knee's when crawling in the back of the truck.

 

oh im 100% sure, i remember the first time i had to crawl into my truck cap in shorts knees killed

 

I think you will like it. The double sided tape I used Scotch.

 

I installed a Bed Rug tailgate liner. Very happy with it.

 

I am running the All-Pro Off-Road tailgate table and its been amazing.
Food-grade polyethylene so it also subs for a very nice cutting board and makes for one less thing to worry about having to loading up.

 

Larry I found it in the carpet isle at Home Depot
And Do Not use carpet. Pine needles sand ect ect. This just wash and rinse when you do your truck bed. I don’t want a wet carpet.
keep it simple stupid is my motto.

 

You could cut in Half and have two pieces, but I used about 13 1/4” I think. It looks really good.
Went to Costco this morning tire Center winter to summer tires and they Costco workers climbing in loved it .
What more can I say, spend 200-$500. No thanks.

 

I have the Hooke Road one. If you're in a hot climate it may warp a bit. We had a really hot summer last year and mine warped a tiny bit. It isn't noticeable unless you're looking for it. Otherwise it's been great. I only noticed it after reading about others with similar ones then I looked.
