so i ended up getting all my floors soaked in mud water. As of right now i have removed rear seat and carpet and passenger seat. Im thinking of bed lining but id like it not to be to loud. Its my DD. Can i use some type of insulation than bedline? or what should i do my carpets are muddy.

 

Bed lining it would be your best bet now that you have everything out. Most guys that bed line just leave the carpet out but bc its your dd I can see your point about noise. You can always bed line and throw the carpet back in it, after you clean it that is. Some of my buddies that have bed lined their xj's also drill a hole and add a drain plug similar to what wranglers have. This makes it nice and easy to drain if you do happen to get the inside water logged again.

 

i was thinking about that you think bedline and carpet without insulation wouldnt be to loud. im gonna put some drain holes in for sure. in my doors to i can water in the rear ones.

 

carpet without insulation/sound mat will be loud

 

I don't think it will be unbearable loud or anything but you will probably notice some increase in noise. My buddy that bed lined his never put the carpet back in it and it's not too bad. If you are worried about noise though just bed line and put the carpet and insulation back in.

 

Pressure washer will take that mud right out of the carpet. Just dont get to close. Pressure wash it, spray it with purple power and scrub it, then pressure wash again. It'll look brand new. Then take it in a garage or somewhere dry and put it in front of a big fan and put a heater in the room. Taking the insulation off will make it a little louder, but will keep your floors from rusting as bad as they hold in water..

 

And your doors should have a drain hole somewhere.. Make sure its not clogged, or drill a small hole in the bottom of the door to let it out.

 

i have herculined floors and honestly its not loud at all. i think people compare it to a lexus or something lol

 

these guys got u mostly covered u should just remove ur insulation bedline it then use the dyno matt or w.e the thick insulation it doesnt realy hold anywater from what ive seen so that might be good then throw ur carpet back on top

 

 

 

Here is what you need to ask yourself.

Do I enjoy going through mud and water?

Do I want to remove the carpet every time I enjoy myself?

 

theirs some drain plugs under rear seat i removed. i power washed the rear starting to look cleaner now. i think my plan is to toss insulation and power wash carpet. bedline interior and install some nice removable drain plugs. I wanna make the carpet somewhat easy to remove so when i go wheelin i can remove first. Maybe cut front in half and cut around seat bolts and stuff

 

my rear diff fluid looked like cement. I havent done the front yet
