    Hey guys,
    I am here mostly in a business capacity to make sure I have a connection to our customer base, my company makes a wash out floor branded Armorlite, currently for Jeep and Bronco, but got tools in the work to produce a 3rd Gen Tacoma floor.
    We are american made in Old Fort, NC. I don't want to get into it to much because we are not yet an official sponsor, but hoping we can get that setup soon. Once we do lets talk about what you guys are dealing with in an offroad truck dealing with old carpet.

    Me personally, my interests are all over the place. My Taco days are back in the early 2k's in the pirate4x4 days. Currently I do a lot of Jeep rock crawling. As well as old Harley's and old Chevy trucks.

    Had the full set of these in my JK. One of the best things I ever did to that thing.

    I hope so, I am trying to prove there is a Tacoma market for Armorlite so I can continue to get tools made. I want to do 1st and 2nd gen.

    When you come out with the 2nd gen I will buy in a heartbeat. I know of a couple other people that would do the same

    Just found these for our JL and instantly went to see if they were available for my 3rd gen. I would insta-buy if you guys made them for Tacomas. Carpet is dumb.

    Would absolutely love the option of Armorlite flooring for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gens! I've been familiar with the product as we have a couple Gladiators and family with JLUs. Right now we have a Access cab 2nd gen that would be a great candidate for the flooring as it has some fairly wrecked carpet from a PO spilling something and cutting out the stain, and of course the added durability for us offroaders in all gens of the trucks would be welcomed.

    The older the model the more likely it has a need for replacement flooring

    I have a 13 AC in great shape. But I'd consider it anyway, just to ditch the carpet and weathertechs

    Thanks guys for the interest, we are curious how well the Tacoma market will take off considering these don't have removable tops but still see a need for durability and cleanability.
    Right now we are hoping to launch the 3rd Gen floor in the later part of September. I will make a formal post here soon with some of the renderings we have of the floor to give you guys a sample of what we plan on doing.

    Also, please don't forget about us MT guys! Weathertech/Husky don't seem offer front row solutions in there top line floor liners for MT trucks. (If anyone knows if the AT fronts fit MT trucks, please correct me)

    We noticed this as well, we developed our tools for AT because its a large investment and the MT represent too small of the market for us to fiscally justify it. But we are planning to identify if we can have our robot water jet do a different cut to cover these, it may be a special batch order since the inventory also takes up a good amount of space. We will let everyone know how it goes. I could use a MT quad cab model in North Carolina around September 11-13th if anyone has one for fit up.

    We are looking at Gen 2 but have to see how the sales and customer interaction goes with the 3rd gen first to build the business case. I would start tooling right now if we weren't concerned with making our money back ;)
