I agree its hotter a little noiser and you get to see the crappy sound deading glue that just flakes off when it gets wet. But its much easier to vac out the inside .

I am interested in the rubber flooring option. Having carpet in an off-road vehicle seems very silly to me. Right now I am driving a rental JK and was surprised to find that it was very very wet underneath the carpet and I definitely do not want my floorboards rusting out prematurely.

My thought had been to go with a spray on bedliner, but maybe the rubber option would be nice (although it would still trap moisture between the rubber and the floorboards.

Some photos of a JK with a spray in bedliner would be great too!

How about pics with the carpet out and seats in? I think I want to take it out, but I dont have the money to line ex it right now... I am sick and tired of the inch thick dog hair my dog leaves in there...

Is it hard to take the carpet out? And how long does it take about?

Carpet is very easy to tear out. Probably a 10 minute job...
