    I'm going to be getting tube doors this summer. Any suggestions to make my interior/flooring more weather proof in case I get caught in the rain?

    I would just get some all weather floor mats from either Weather Tech or Goodyear makes some that fit pretty well I the 1st gen. that's what I'm using now.

    Some people will tell you to replace your carpet with vinyl flooring and I can assure this is a HORRIBLE idea especially for a daily driver. If it was just a rock crawler or farm truck, maybe. Underneath your carpet the floor plan is not smooth, there are tons of crevices and un even spots as well as wiring and drain holes. Not to mention the road noise would be horrendous and you'd loose a lot of heat in the winter or get a lot of heat through the floor in the summer.

    Spray it with Raptor Liner.

    Drill in a couple of drain holes/plugs.

    That way you can hose it out whenever you want.

    This.

    I had the interior of my Jeep spraylined. Road noise wasn't bad, never had to worry about floor liners and if it ever got dirty, I just hosed the interior down.
