Ute Tray Liners


When I purchased my DMax I thought I could get away with the rubber squares you join together for the tray but it is not working as I intended, my work gear still slides about which means on my trip everything will slide about.

My last ute came with a tray mat, nothing ever slid around on it.

My question, should I get a full tub liner including tail gate liner or just go for a cheaper tray mat made from to measure? I'm wondering about all the black absorbing heat but my ute is all white and has a white hard lid.

Your thoughts would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Nomes

I was recent looking for some some windscreen rubber inserts and found a company called IRS......Independent Rubber Supplies in Murarrie in Brisbane. They also have a place in WA. 

On their website they have rolls of a Thermal Plastic Elastomer mat Recyclable and biodegradable. They were priced at  $20 delivered Australia wide.

Dimensions W61CM L175 Thickness .7cm

I have two now in the tray of the Triton stuck down with a low tack adhesive. It is really a Pilates mat and being biodegradable not designed for being in sunlight. With the Tonneau Cover not a problem. 

Works well, and at $40 for two a cheap fix.

Hi Nomes.

When I purchased my Dmax new I had one installed as an optional extra. It is the full one that covers the tailgate as well. Nothing slides about and they are easy to clean. Well worth the money. Cheers Colin

Hi Nomes, when we bought our D Max I had a spray on Rhino lining put in.  Nothing slips on it, it is permanent and extremely hard wearing!

We are very happy with it!

I bought a roll of anti slip matting from Spotlight. Have also wedged two pieces of pine across the tray either side of the wheel arches so I have 3 compartments for things to slide within rather than full length of boot. Have a Falcon ute with a tub lines and its as slippery as ice without the matting.

Suppliers of cut rubber will have a product called Ute Matting (or similar name.) I just got a cut length of that and trimmed it to size.

After much research and thinking of scratches and moisture etc, this is what I have ordered!

sydneyutes.com.au/isuzu-ute-liner-dual-cab-over-rail-en.html (I am getting the under rail one because of my lock down lid)

It is more expensive than I had thought of originally but I think it will do a better job all round and they will install it for me.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers,
Nomes.

Hmmm, three new dual cab utes ago, a Triton ML, I immediately had a liner fitted to protect the tub metalwork.

I don't think it was any less slippery than the metal floor and at sale time the new owner didn't even look in the tub so there was no resale value.

When we travel there was always enough stuff in the tub to prevent movement.

The next new Triton MN, didn't get the liner and I never had any regrets in not fitting one.  A spray on type may be ok but the 'insert' I originally had tended to collect moisture & dust under it so would be rust heaven.

We now have a D-Max and have no intention of fitting the liner.  I did cut a sheet of plywood to provide a flat surface for our beloved companion Kodi to ride on in the tub but since we tragically lost him a few weeks ago I think even that will come out.

Just my opinions

Cheers Neil

Sorry to hear about your Kodi Neil.

Thanks for your thoughts on the pros and cons. I have been guaranteed my money back if anything slides in my ute, good enough for me, and I got it for a great price since 2 others were being ordered at the same time and no delivery fee.

Cheers,
Nomes
