carpet?
 
hey guys.
i'm going to gut my cab when i get back to b.c and i'm going to replace the carpet.

is pre-formed the only way to go?

i was looking at LMC, are there any other outlets that sell it??

if you try to put flat carpet like off a roll you have to cut it and seam it to fit and no commercial carpet is really meant for a truck.... LMC sells the kids but ive heard mixed reviews on them. CaptKaos a member and vendor here also sells capet kits for our trucks and Ive heard alot of good things about his products and have had no issues with his products ive bought... you may want to look into his carpets.

Rockauto.com carries ACC carpet. Plus they usually have a 5% off coupon code.

If you right click on his name in any of his posts it will give you the option to PM him . PM him your needs and he will get back to you or you can look for the site vendor sticky in the top of most of the forums and look him up

i bought mine from summit about yr or 2 ago and just barely put it in last week. it fits great only complaint is you have to cut out all the holes for the bolts which was a pain in the A$$.

Re: carpet?
 
which bolts are you referring to?

seat mounts. trim pieces rear speakers. its no big deal just time consuming and i forgot to mention i also had a layer of dyno mat to fight with to.

Re: carpet?
 
hmm i dind't even think about that. what do you use to cut the carpet?

Justins76 11-24-2009 12:37 AM

Re: carpet?
 
sharp box cutter. Make an X over the hole and then cut the circle out.

I allways leave the bolts in the flloor and cut Xs on the heads. This makes the holes a lot easier to find. Then just push the carpet down over the bolt and fold the tabs left from the Xs back under. Super easy.

I have a crew cab truck and I have a molded carpet kit from ACC. It looks and fits great. I purchase the kit from Dave's Truck Parts in NC. I purchased it at a show in Pigeon Forge, TN and received it a day earlier than expected. FYI, when I installed my carpet, I marked the holes with a silver sharpie then I made the hole with a large nail held by vise grips, then heated it red hot with a torch. I just pierced the carpet then gave the pliers a slight roll to enlarge the hole.
This worked well for me and no chance of getting runners or tears do the road.
