Any of you have a daily driver with the carpet removed? If so did you apply any type of bed liner to the interior.

 

I did. I used the rust oleum but if you can afford it prep it and prim it yourself and then have it line x'd. It's the best there is period. The only times I regret removing carpet is when it rains cause the water from the rear tires slashes against the wheel well and it literally sounds like a waterfall other than that it's great. It can be a little noisy if you have mud terrains but not outrageous

 

Unless your carpet is totally trashed just lift it, yank the padding, and lay the carpet back down.

 

I used Monstaliner and their aluminum primer and put just the carpet back in after shampooing it. LineX is the best but it's overkill for floor boards imo and Monstaliner is a fraction of the price :-). Plus you can do custom colors. I think it definitely looks good enough to go no carpet

 

My trail rig had no carpet. The floor mats I had pretty much covered the whole floor pans and you really couldn't tell anyway.
The floor pans are steel, BTW.

 

I use horse stall mats from Tractor Supply, heavy 3/4" rubber, cut to fit. Can hear a gnat fart it's so quiet, can't even tell if I'm moving accept for the scenery changing, well that and the roof loudly popping at 70 mph cuz it's unglued from the braces. Now when I drop my magnetic bolt retriever it just bounces, nothing but roof flashing and pop rivets - about 40% tin.

 

Haha yeah I know it's steel :-). The primer has aluminum in it to prevent rust. Made by magnet paint

 

Cut mine out , cleaned rust, rusty metal primer, spray can bed liner, I have the HD factory rubber matts and it hot and loud

 

Stall mats on sale a TS for $34 bucks for 6'X4'X3/4". I'm gonna grab a small mig - 100A flux core type to replace the roof flashing quilt work. I've gotta weld one frame patch on the 94 Saturn SC2 (gaaay), kill two projects with one cheap Hobart mig.

 

you responded to a thread that was over seven years old. I doubt they are still watching this thead.
