I would get a piece of aluminum or stainless cut to fit and just screw that on. Easy Peasy. I've thought about it, but haven't done it yet.

I can service my chainsaw just fine on the tailgate. I don't see the issue.

Is that the first beer or the sixth?

I have a stall mat in the bed of my truck from the local farm/ranch store. It's not slippery at all when wet. I don't recall what it's like with snow on it though. I have the OEM spray in bed liner. The stall mat doesn't move in the bed unless I work pretty hard at it.

I ended up going with this:
Amazon Amazon
. I'll just mount it with the flat side up. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have a spray in bed liner so am wondering how difficult it will be to remove the old insert. Seems like it would be relatively easy to make one but I doubt I'd save much money by doing so. Any advice is appreciated.
I have spray in Liner also...all I did was get a piece of checkplate and rivet it to the existing tailgate....
