Carpet

[NC-Expy]

Is there anything I can replace the carpet with?

It's all dirty and stained up and I want something that'll be able to hold up well against mud, water, etc...

I was thinking some custom fit floor mats or just ripping out the carpet and line-xing it

I guess it all depends on if you mind more road noise or not. You'll get more road noise if you go the line-x route. I'm sure there are lots of vendors out there, but Whitney has either a full replacement or 1/2 cab replacement of carpet. It seems you do a lot of off road, so my guess would be a line-x or rubber shell & padding (like what comes in the F150 work trucks).

Here is an example what Whitney has: Click Here!

i would do sound dent. then linex if you can. not sure if thats even possible. and then i would do carpet then floor mats. that why you got all 4 and best of all worlds.

i agree with the road noise. i ripped the carpet out of the cargo area of the expy so i can just rinse the back out when im done mudding and pull the drain plugs. i have been rethinking the front carpet as well. i am just going to get some black carpet and good floor mats. that should help...

anyone ever play around with the carpet dye that comes in a rattle can? I have thought about doing that too mine up front... just spray it black but a little worried about dye out of a can...

 

[nvycrmn]

well, where can i pick some up? i will try it out since i plan on replacing the carpet anyway. if it works, i wont have to replace it. if it doesnt, oh well...let me know what you are lookin at and i will try some out

I used that stuff a long time ago in my last Mustang. It held up great, except where your heel rests for the gas pedal. Wore clean off, so I had a grey spot on my black carpet. The biggest pain was making sure the carpet was as clean as it could be before spraying. The newer SEM stuff I hear is pretty good, and I've used the flexible stuff to redo the switch panels, and my gauge pod to match the interior, and I have no complaint on it so far.

anybody ever take all of there carpet out i want to do a liner like the f150 but i dont know how hard it will be

 

[walnuts4x4]

NVY... did his rear cargo area in bedliner

 

[treycool94]

i was thinkin the whole floor in bedliner but i dont know if it would look good with the center consol. how does the bench seat look? it would prob look alot better if i had a bench what do you guys think?

 

[walnuts4x4]

once I saw a expy with a bench up front... was different... but I think the road noise would be way too loud with just the bedliner for the floor....

 

[treycool94]

how do you think the liner for the f150 work trucks would look/ hold up?

You could put lizardskin or another similar product down then do the bed liner over that to help with road noise.

just looked that up looks cool do i need anythin special to put that on? and if i knew what the bench seat looked like i could make that decision anyone got one?

 

[walnuts4x4]

really a front bench seat would look just like an F150 with one.... except you wouldn't have the center console.. a lot of guys on the F150online actually swap out their bench seats for expy buckets n consoles.... might want to ask some of them

 

[JDMitchell]

They are not very common from what I have seen. I just saw my first one the other day. I think it was a seldom selected option for the XLT. Fleet expy's had them though, so maybe you could go that route.

deff gunna do the lizerd skin now whats the best/cheapist bed liner
