Carpet Flooring alternative?

Hello all,

I have an '06 Base Tacoma 4x4 and I have the crappy bench seat and carpets with a huge chunk of carpet missing on the drivers side (about a 1 square foot section where the drain plug is in the floor).

I have been contemplating putting bucket seats in it, I know a few people on here have done that and there are a few options to manage that. Now I read some people have vinyl flooring from Toyota in their vehicles. I like that idea.

I figure if I change out the seat I mind as well fix the carpet too. But what I am gathering from reading on here is this vinyl flooring is not common at all. So I was wondering, what about rhino lining or something on the floor? Has anyone done this? If so do you have pictures?

I would think this would be great and solve many common problems in the interior of trucks...sound deadening, corrosion protection (as long as it is applied correctly) and a long lasting easy to clean surface.

 

I always wanted to line-x the entire floor, why not give it a shot

 

I've ridden in vehicles with rhyno lined floors, mostly jeeps. Its tough but it does nothing to dampen road noise. Had to almost yell to hear each other going down the highway

 

I saw this product on Power Block TV (Trucks I believe) and it looked promising. Has anyone heard of this stuff?

Supposedly it is a great sound deadener.
