Title: Rubber Floor
Post by: GRONK on October 13, 2011, 05:05:18 PM
Does anyone know of a company that makes factory molded, drop in just like carpet, rubebr floor kits for the Eagles?  Like in utility trucks?

I would like to do this instead of carpet or spray in liner but can't find squat!!!

I thought the same companies that offer the replacement rugs, also give the rubber floor option too. I believe someone on here did do one? required quite a bit of work iirc to get it to fit right.

I haven't had any luck yet.  Sent several emails to carpet companies, no replies yet....

It says on their site "Any vehicle that now has a molded carpet in it can have a molded vinyl floor covering
just ask when you place your order" check em out (offered in multiple colors too).

lol, no prob, but thank Shanebo for that link, I believe he was the one who found it originally, I just kept it in my list of favorites for when I get a carpet for the sx/4.

There is one other option that you could try, but depending on your skill, you could make your own, there is a few places that supply the compounds you need to build your own (Yes I have been looking into this myself) all you would need to do is build the molds, Some lumber and a router (the other one that doesn't take you to the internet (( Sorry couldn't help myself I am a hopeless punster...)) and carve your designs into the wood and make sure you have the size and shape laid out and pour your compound

What about pouring the resin directly in the Wag?

I have been thinking of tearing out my nasty carpets and using a roll on truck bed coating, my only concern is the fumes and how long it would take to cure. Maybe even put a drain plug in the floor so it is easy to clean,  I'm not talking about spraying the thing out with a hose just a wet towel and a spray bottle would do. at least it would be better than trying to get mud and sand out of carpet. Of course you could water proof all the electric components under the dash so you can take a hose to it.

I have had very neg experiences w/ roll on liners inside jeeps.  Works great but wears oput fast and looks like crap quick.....

that's why I suggested using a rubber matting instead, atleast that way he could make it any color, and even customize it his way, though I admit the link shaggimo posted is far easier. But It all depends on where you want to go right?

I'd get it sprayed in.
My work truck has had 300K of incredibly rough abuse in the bed, and it still looks brand new.

I've heard the roll on ones dont go on nearly as thick and loose their 'new' look quickly.

Yeah the roll on is not worth the money, you'd be better off just rolling implement paint on the floor, it's just as durable but far cheaper, lol. Not having a carpet in the eagle is quite noisy I will add, more so than my jeep was.

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to order the vinyl flooring.  It looks exactly the way I want it to and it's ready to go.

Dredging this up from a time lost and forgotten.

Anyone know if Gronk was able to get the vinyl flooring?
