I am debating wether or not to pull all the carpet out. Has anyone done this? Is there any downside to it?

 

Pulled mine. Pulled mine with my TJ few days after I got it also. The only negative I saw with it was the floor mats I was using would grind away the paint under them eventually from sand getting between them. I had planned on LineX ing anyway so it wasn't a big deal. JK paint coverage is bad it definitely won't make a difference.

 

I have mine out took them out the day after I got my JK damn carpets were soaked from delivery. I have notited with them out if your barefoot and driving alot the floorboards get hella hot !!!

 

I haven't tried this (yet) but have read several other threads on this, and others have said that insulation and NVH suffer a bit when you take out the carpet. So, if heat/cold from outside the Jeep and/or extra noise will bother you, leave the carpet in.

 

Carpet is a pain.. It is gone now and I have full mopar rubber floors..

 

I was looking at lining it myself. Does any one know what I can buy to do it myself?

 

I did Durabak in our TJ's, its a spray on, or you can roll it. Spraying makes it look professional. its about $100.oo a gallon. A gallon will do the tub easily, with atleast two coats.


I like the no, carpet in the TJ. but for road noise. I wont be taking it out of the JK until it's trashed

 

I am going to do this my self but I have the sideair bags and was curious on how to disengage them with out them going off in my face

 

Unplug the harness.

 

or... move your face!
but probably unplug it too.
