Default no drill bed extender?

Anyone know or have of a good bed extender/divider that doesn't require drilling for installation on our trucks?

The Mopar / RamBox system Bed Extender works by attaching at the Tailgate Latch Posts (as well as by compression at any of the 10+ ribs along the Box walls) - No Drilling Required.

That would be great if I had a rambox.

Looks like the factory one requires some drilling:

Buy the tailgate portion of the bed liner and you can secure your bed extender by drilling into the plastic vs. your sheet metal. It works great.

Think that would work on a bed rug?

The tailgate cover portion of the bed liner is pretty sturdy. I'm not familiar with the bed rugs, but I'm assuming that they are no where near as sturdy, so I wouldn't... You don't need the full bed liner to make it work. I actually have the Mopar rubber mat that goes in the bed and I bought the tailgate cover portion of the bed liner because the tailgate cover portion that came with the rubber mat required drilling as well. The bed liner cover secures to the tailgate using the access panel screws. Perhaps you could do similar to what I did and replace the tailgate cover portion of your bed rug with the more sturdy bed liner tailgate cover. Anyway, that is just one potential solution. Keep us posted with what you decide to do.
