Has anyone got rid of the carpet?

Has anyone pulled the carpet in an '05 yet? I don't really think that carpet in a truck goes well to begin with. The FJ comes with a rubber flooring like I think the Taco should. I'm curious about getting rid of the carpet for some sort of rubber or perhaps maybe using a bed liner?

Idk, just an idea that popped into my head.

 

Just put weathertechs in. That will cover em up.

 

Noise would be an issue. Wonder if I could add some sound deadening and somehow get some rubber flooring to fit into the truck.

I have the factory rubber mats already, I just know that with time the carpet in my truck is going to become trashed.

 

^ Extremely interesting. Wish someone had a pic of it installed.

 

I did it to my 2005 Tacoma before I traded in for my 07. It took me about a week to fully do a project like this. I completely took out the carpet, and scraped the sticky stuff underneath (what seemed to be sticky stuff). If you got the talent do it guy, I did it and it came out great. Six months later there was so much rattling in the truck I traded it to someone. I used a type of bedliner like stated above; probably should of went a different root. I like my clean carpet now best of luck to you.
