Hey I have seen a few threads about removing the carpet and doing the DIY bedliner on the floor but haven't seen pictures of the completed project. Does anyone have pictures of a truck done like this after the interior was re-installed? Also, feedback from the results-noise, cleaning, etc.
I ripped the interior out of my 98 Scab and was debating whether to go back with carpet or doing the bedliner.

 

I wouldn't as its extremely difficult to clean and will hold every spec of dust/dirt your shoes drag in

 

X2 it's harder to keep clean than vinyl flooring

 

Plus the carpet or vinyl acts as a sound deadener

 

Thanks. I know I would lose some acoustic-dampening, and I think the rougher surface would make it a little harder to keep the dust out of the surface, but I could also wash it out very easily. I've seen Jeeps done this way but I want feedback from someone who has done this to their truck and what they thought afterwards.
For about the same price (a little bit cheaper than carpet, anyway) I can roll on whatever brand and still be able to carpet it later...I haven't made up my mind to do it yet, which is why I would like to see pictures and get feedback. Personally, I'm leaning a little toward carpet or vinyl but my wife wants me to do the bedliner.
BTW this is going to be a hunting/playing truck, not a DD.

 

If you want to go the bedliner route, I would use an implement/plow paint. We use it on loader buckets and plow blades as its designed to help the snow slide off so nothing will stick to it. It's cheaper and more durable.
