Idea

[NC-Expy]

I was sort of thinking of ripping out the carpet from the 2nd row back (everything in the trunk area) and bed lining it.

Pretty much exactly what nvy did, but I'd only do the trunk (at least for now)

What do you guys think? I just wanted something a little more durable that I could throw my dirty tow straps/rope in, my tool box, paintball guns, etc...

The carpet gets really dirty and I'm sort of OCD about my interior, so I was thinking bed liner would be my best bet..

do it I plan on doing my whole interior when I get a chance

IMO, for $50-$75 you can get a cargo liner that also covers the rear seat tracks and you can take it out and wash it rather than hosing down the inside of the Expy:

They both sound like pretty good ideas. Maybe spray line the metal then put the cargo liner in. Double durable.

rubber matting? like they do in construction trucks...

the only problem is, which i found, is when you take out the carpet the foam is glued down so it sticks. or at least thats on mine. so you have to scrape it all off. and besides nvy put the carpet back in. its a sound dampener.

I had my rear interior out and it gets loud in there. just put a rubber liner in or if you want somthing nice put in what I did, (Nifty Catch-all) http://www.lundinternational.com/brands/nifty/ )it's a carpet liner that matches and you can take it out and pressure wash it clean. My carpet and underlay was not glued down. ??

I did this a while ago. My foam was NOT glued down. I figured id spray 3 coast and worst case I'd just put the carpet back over. It is a little louder....but thats right where my exhaust leads so I dont notice any more road noise.... as long as im on the gas which is, always!

And so far I love it!!! holding up well!

i fixed this issue with mine. husky cargo liner...carpet looks like brand new and i can throw anything in the back without worry.

 

[panda24619]

my foam is all stuck to the paint. idk why... what ever. other wise i would do this. but i like my carpet.

Only problem is that the in cab noise will go up

i need a tray for mine.... tarp got ripped this morning and had a inch of blood pooled up in the 3rd row seat holes... lucky nothing on the carpet though but I need the tray

And a spray liner will add some extra weight, just something to think about.

Cabin noise and weight are two of the last things you think about when driving an 8K pound truck with true dual straight pipes.
