Any Ideas? Maybe some pics?
 
I am starting the brainstorming of what I want to do in my interior.. The first bump I have come to is my truck has this like rubber/plastic for carpet that isn't down to the floor too well so I was thinking of what to do instead of that, and was thinking maybe doing something like the stuff they line beds with? Any better ideas or comments about the bedliner stuff? All help appreciated, good or bad.

You can get replacement vinyl flooring from site vendor Capt Kaos.

Just need to know if you have a "high hump" floor (most 4x4 and some 2x4) or "low hump" floor (2wd auto only).

Here's the dead stuff, coming out:

...and here's the new stuff going in. There was quite a bit of extra material on either side, and fore/aft, so I elected to position it based on the seat "humps" in the floor (and the seat attachments) and then trim the front portion to fit.

This was quite a bit thicker/heavier than the original mat, which I think is going to be good for durability but it makes it a little hard to work with (unless you can get it warm and to soften up).

I left it loose for a couple days, so that it could conform to the floor from the heat inside the cab (from sitting in the sun).

I don't like being able to see that red "skunk stripe" or red across the top of the toe pan above the black mat; I'm going to hit that with a little semi gloss black to hide it. It will also get covered up a bit by the heater discharge vent (not installed in this photo).
