Default I Hate Carpet

More like I hate cleaning it. Mud, spilled drinks, dirt, dog hair, puke, etc...

Weather tech floor mats are over $200 for the entire truck. And they only cover so much...

I'm considering, when I get around to bed lining the bed, wheel wells, and rockers, to pull the seats and carpet and just bed line the floor too.

Anyone ever done this? Pros? Cons? Input?

The trucks at work have a vinyl floor, any way to do that aftermarket on a budget?

Xl model trucks came with vinyl floors in 97-03. Google search it. Best, easiest way. You can even ou the vinyl over the carpet so you'll have a little cushion.

Be careful with vinyl then, it'll be slippery after you get done doing " life" in your truck.

Bedliner seems to be more affordable and resilient from what I'm finding... Though vinyl would be more comfortable, I do still have bench seats...

I wish, but I gotta find a girlfriend first... Too bad I'm hopeless romantic and don't like one night stands because I become emotionally attached too easily...

That said, to repel and make cleaning up spilled CocaCola, pizza sauce, and Doritos dust easier, I'm leaning towards bedliner. Also concerned about lead dust build up and I don't want to jeopardize my fertility ... (I work with firearms, and thus lead, for a living) . Would also be easier to clean up spilled gunpowder... That happened once... Whole pound got crushed and spilled in the back seat...

I bought a 13 STX just to get vinyl flooring. I like it a lot better than carpet. I'v been thinking about getting some rubber mats too. The vinyl is kinda soft.
