MARYLAND TACOMAS

If your gonna wheel it I wouldn't be too concerned about the carpet.

 

I have weathertechs. Reason I want to replace it is because there is still 50 lbs of dog hair embedded in the carpet. It smells.

 

Pull it out and bedline it. Boom.

 

Po had 2 mastiffs.

 

That's what I want to do to my landcruiser.

 

I think it'd be super cool. The hardest part I think would be securing any wires that hide underneath the carpet. If I were to go that route, I'd like to be able to lightly rinse out the cab with a hose.

 

I can tell.

 

Then you may get all the heat from engine/tran/exhaust plus road noise

 

I just primarily use it for the trails so that wouldn't bother me. I'm thinking of buying a kit that makes all 4 of the doors removable.

 

make sure yer heat is with you 68, cant trust dem baars with no doors!.......

 

from having a stripped interior car that runs on dirt, theres lots of tradeoffs to make. that carpet will save about 20lbs off the total weight, depending on how thick and how much crap is under it. there will be some wiring harnesses under there, but they are usually tucked up near exisiting floor structure, the places where your feet go dont have any. provided you either waterproof or remove any electronic modules that are near or on the floor, you can (gently) hose the interior of the car out. you will have to make new drain holes, as the factory ones dont cover certain spots. and there is a SIGNIFICANT increase in noise. you will hear every rock, bug, branch and piece of the road that hits the underside of your vehicle. its funny for about 5 minutes, then just becomes background drone. not something you can drown out with the radio though.

 

Figured I would change my belts before going camping this weekend. Glad I did....

 

I need to do this. Mine has been squealing on cold start for over a year

 

Fear not folks, when i get word of it opening, i will go explore it.

Hopefully it'll be another destination for our us!

 

Jusy shiny enough to beat the doors off.

 

+1

 

Same here, glad I did it was a piece of cake, took 20 min to do all 3

 

How many miles were y'all in before you guys changed the belt...?

 

I'm at 62400

 

dave i am so sad/happy seeing you get good use out of the cruiser. glad you are whippin it
