i put some 3m black grip tape on my platform ands its held up threw the years try looking at 3m products

my platform has like groves where the rubber sits down in the groves, and it like sits alittle above the bars itself. So its like cushions the feet. So Im worried if that I dont reinstall the rubber it will be really hurtfull to step on the platform.

Try SB Group They make or can make any type of extruded rubber. I would call extreme marine and find out who supplied them with the rubber. It always seems to shrink and needs replaced.

Check with X-T Innovator ( Dave ) on the baja thread.
