Floor Mat Opinions

One of the next things I'm going to do to my Big 10 is rip out & replace the carpet in it. Since I'm building this up for river trips, I'm seriously considering a full rubber replacement, for easy cleaning. Does anyone have any opinions on how they are after you put them in? Super-loud? PITA to install?

http://www.lmctruck.com/ICATALOG/CC/full.aspx?Page=108

I'm thinking of the full floor MIP mat on that page with some good backing to cut down on road noise, but I really don't know what I'm talking about. If the cheaper OEM rubber is a better option/deal, then I wouldn't mind saving a few pennies for something else (like new kick panels) if there's no good reason to go with the spendy version.

Thoughts?

CaptKaos has them in his store.

I've never bought anything from him, but he has a reputation of not selling anything he wouldn't want on his own truck.

I totally thought your username was "thefartguy" there for a second. Hahahaha!

Re: Floor Mat Opinions

I've read good things about CK, too. I was definitely going to check his store.

thefartguy wouldn't be a far off base, especially today, for some reason.

Re: Floor Mat Opinions

I thought about that, hell, I wanted to paint the thing in bed-liner, but isn't that going to be loud?
