carpet alternitaves
Carpet is coming up tomorrow night to replace floors, the carpet is filthy and stinks. Besides bed liner what are people using? Thinking just implement paint and rubber floor mats. And putting a drain in the floors.

most already have drain plugs in the floors under the carpet. I took everything out literally everything out preped it (PITA) putt a nice layer of sound sound deadener spray (keeps heat and road noise down) then alot of bed liner. now when i swamp it out simply spray the mud out like a wrangler and your good too go! no more nasty carpet mildue smell. other options are the expensive rubber floors as stated but can become very pricey and reviews show don't fit too well

They keep the dirt off my floor really well, and they're easy to pull out if need be. I actually don't have anything keeping them from moving, I cut them so they follow the contour of the flooring. If I would've wanted to take the time, I could've just made a whole new carpet out of it, but I wanted something that would be removable and not completely cover of my mice bed liner job.

Fix the floor and paint it. When painted you can always weld again in the future. Weld thru bedliner???
Then rubber backed carpet mats, get em discount cheap and replace them when they get pooched.
