I know one option is to remove carpet, but don't have bedliner to coat it and I think it would be alot of noise in the cab. I'm thinking about cutting square around water and removing that spot. Drying the floor and carpet outside and reinstalling it. Anyone got any tips to drying up inside floor?

It's night time, I'll post pics up tomarro morning.

 

last summer went deeper into water than i wanted to and flooded the left side with about 5 inches water, got out as much as i could, didnt want to pull the carpet up so i only pulled it out enough to stick some rocks and sticks under it... it was summer so i left the windows open all day,, whenever i needed it id just reach under and take out whaterver i had proping it up

still took a few days to dry.. i think thats all there is short of taking it all out

bedlineing and adding drain plugs this summer
good luck

 

Do you have an electric heater fan, wet vacuum, hair drier, or heat gun? If so, use one of those in one area at a time to help dry out. That's what I did before I put in my floor liners. It's a long process but it should help.

 

I'll try the hair dryer today. not trying to take the entire carpet out, water is only on the passanger side only. Thanks for the help guys, keep the advise comin!

 

you don't have use of a shop vac?

 

Nope and tried the hair dryer.

 

you could always rent a carpet cleaner. they have the suction to suck up the water.

otherwise, it's gonna take a while to air dry. maybe open all the doors and use an electric heater with a fan...

 

I cut the section of wet carpet out and have no easier choice other than to air dry it. so for now I have no passenger seat or passenger carpet. It's all good though.

For anyone who has bedlined their floor. Is noise really that loud inside? is it annoying loud or is it something that could easily get used to?

 

it's not that bad, and i don't have bedliner, just a bare floor.

it gets hot in there tho, from the tranny.

 

Yeah i was thinking that the paint would protect the metalfrom rust but then if you scratch it and it turns to bare metal it could rust.

 

just prop up one of those large box fans with a stick and set it on high for a few hours. rotate it around every once in a while.

 

Taking out the carpet is the only way to get it all. I had leakage from the engine bay into my passenger side and I stripped out the interior and cleaned everything up and bedlined the passenger side and I haven't had an issue since. It was a good chance to clean the interior anyway. Took a weekend to do it all

 

pulling the carpet is not that hard,
also a shop vac can be purchased for around $20 crapsman of course ha

 

Get a shop vac. Or use a DIY one at a carwash get it the best you can... crack the Windows about half an inch and crank the heat on floor setting and let sit for a while. This method will absolutely work.

 

Your jeep has carpets? Huh..
