Floor Mats : What's your favorite?

[Pitbull-Lady]

We're looking at pulling the carpet (Shock! I know) and putting down mat.

What brand do you recommend?

We've been reading on the board and we've been looking on-line from companies etc. but still can't figure out which one works for us.

This is no trailer queen but the bed itself is ok.
this will be offroad
&
It will have the dog, tools and lots of dirt/mud exposure
We're on the east coast (if the weather matters)

I'm sure some brands are kind of yucky and do not clean well,
some probably stink, literally
some probably rip easily
&
some probably never stay on the floor without curling, EVER



What has worked best for you?:huh:

i just used bedliner on the floor (got rid of that dumb tar cloth stuff) and put my carpet on and use these feet mats :

I had a set of Husky Liners given to me and they fit really well in the front. They're for a 03 Silverado. Pretty expensive though if you had to buy em, and not a perfect fit.

OK, those are sweet mats! where did you find those??

95KY sahara:
did you get them to fit better by heating them with a heat gun or anything?

here in the midwest we get all sorts of salty slush on our shoes/boots in the winter that gets tracked in if you use your rig in the winter. I'm uisng a set of generic rubberish floor mats I found at walmart, neutral gray. I picked them because they are deeply ribbed and they have high rims around the sides that will hold a lot of gunk in. They are nearly an inch deep they are heavy and solid enough I can pick them up and empty them out, hose them clean and put'em back in. I've used the same type in ALL my vehicles for years to keep salt, mud, and sand out of the carpets. In decent weather I can throw them in the trunk and get the nice matching carpet ones out if I'm in a situation where looks matter---not very often!

I would go skeletor's route and bedline the metal before you cover it back up. That way, you dont have to worry about trapped moisture tearing through the metal.

Then, cover the passenger comparment with carpet then rubber floor mats, and cover the rear with a full rubber floor.

That way, you get max protection, good looks, good function, and plenty sound/heat dampening...

the carpets respond well to pressure washing .i kind of prefer them to full floor rubber thinking that they tend to trap moisture and rot out the floors.the rear floor cargo area rug didnt not take the pressure washing as well ,put the passenger area carpets came out pretty nice.the previous owner had dogs and it took care of le funke de pooche as well. a good hot sunny day out on your drive way will dry them out nicely.

It just seems smarter especially since I keep burning the crud out of my legs on the hump.

Plus, the dog LOVES carpet :):)
