    Hi I have a 95 Tacoma regular cab with terrible carpet. I like to take the doors off on nice days and when I hit the trails... so I occasionally get water/mud in the cab, hence the terrible carpet. I am looking for something like bed liner, easily washed and waterproof, but something that also has insulation for the temperature and sound. Any body have any ideas?

    Line-x might work. I've never ridden in a line-x'd vehicle to know though.

    Line-X will help. It may not give quite as much sound and heat protection but it will definitely be better than nothing and probably be the best option for an interior that needs to get hosed out. I had the interior of my FJ40 Line-X'd for all the same reasons and I thought it worked well.

    Sweet thanks! I actually have some Herculiner left over from when I lined my bed.

    Herculiner won't help much other than maybe making it easier to clean out. It's not thick enough to really provide much sound deadening. Same goes for heat insulation. IMO the herculiner is also way too coarse a texture to clean easily. You really should be looking at professionally sprayed bed liners if you want to accomplish the goals mentioned in the OP.
