the carpet in my jeep is nasty so im debating taking it out and just bedlineing the floors. but its a daily driver too so im wondering if there is alot more road noise without the carpet?

 

A significant amount more of road noise, but doable. I would be worried more about the heat if I were you. The xmsn tunnel is a scorcher when hot. Like untouchable. Id suggest in some durable mats that are rubber(I have goodyear mats) to keep the heat down on the floor and some extra coats of bedliner on the xmsn tunnel. Every extra coat would help with the noise as well. Good luck, and remember prep is the most important part.

 

i will soon got no carpet

 

I'm in that boat, but I can't tell you how loud it got after because I went from no floors to a brand new OEM floor. For me, it's much quieter because for a couple of weeks I was driving around with just some cardboard. All I can tell you is that it is hotter in it this year then it was last year with just the carpet. At least it doesn't smell like wet carpet in it anymore. I don't regret doing it at all.

Those were taken the day after It was done. I still have to buy the husky liners and some rubber plugs and I will do another coat or 2.

 

ill probably replace the carpet then. i was at the junkyard and seen a two door there with rubber carpet. anyone know where to get that but for a four door?

 

i got the rubber floor in my xj, but i want to bedline it cuz its pretty dirty and the car has some leaky windows so all the rubber has done is prevent the water from evaporating and rusting the floor lol

 

I just did mine and it had rubber flooring befor and I dont think its that much louder inside. heres a pic

 

Its not that much louder but it is a lot colder in the winter though

 

i got no carpet...

the noise increase doesnt bother me

i love the look and durability though



and my last XJ (different type of liner)

 

I'm about to pull my carpet out tomorrow also due to the 1989 carpet inside of it lol

 

How hard do you think it would be to replace the carpet after ripping it out.

 

I took the carpet out of the cargo area today... in just bare sheet metal it sounds like a window is part way open. I imagine it will get much better when I get it patched up and coated.

 

does anybody know where i can find body replacment parts .... for 2 door cherokee cheif 1988

I just replaced all my floors and bed lined them. I didn't notice that much of a difference to be honest.
