good idea? absolutely
but id like to hear some people experience on how much of a PITA taking out the carpet and re-putting it back in is.
cuz this is something id like to do long term.
but not if its more hassle then its worth

Yes. I have first hand experience. I will tell you the most difficult part is by far the prep. Getting rid of the nasty tar sound deadner, degrease everything and scotch brite the entire floor. It was a lot of work!
It was 100% worth it IMO. I no longer have to worry about water on the floor. I know my floor is 100% metal and will never rust form moisture buildup in the occupant area.
Just don't be surprised if you pull the carpet up and some floor comes with it... especially if the interior has a musty smell.

Just did mine today. Work solid 12 hours to rip it up weld the spots in the floor back behind the rear wheel well. Hand sanded it all with 80 grit to scuff it up and get rid if a lil surface rust here and there. The primed it and rolled it in and it's Awesome!!
