Each to their own.
I dont like how thick the Farmtek is and I dont like the price either.
I can walk on my floor too, and I weigh more than you.
Its all good.

I have 2 large plastic lockboxes I got from lowes. They fit perfectly in the back of my truck, with my 32q igloo marine cooler. As for camping, I just need to perfect the jungle hammock setup off the bumper.

You can get it at Lowes or The Home Depot.

It is in building supplies.

What about tie-ups? You know, for the surfboard and shotgun...

I’ll tell you with the back seat out and the carpeting now out, my truck feels a lot lighter! She has a lot more pep. Not for long though…. The 60” hi-jack is about ½ ton… I saw a really neat shotgun holder that goes against the back of the front seats. Holds 3 guns. Might need to invest in that next. Not much of a surfer.

i just saw some intersting material at home depot. it was near the fencing area. they had some cheap wire mesh chicken coop flooring material in rolls. right next to it they had something called "hardware flooring" im not sure what that is or what it is used for but it came in different guages and roll sizes. i grabbed a roll of the 19 guage and it seemed pretty damn strong i couldnt push or bend inbetween the little squares. I would say the pattern was 1/4" squares. It could be a good alternative but i wanted to come back to my computer and try and look it up and to no avail i can't find it anywhere.. will have to make another trip to the depot to take a look again.

With yoru seats removed your truck looks kinda like a Defender.
