The carpet in the rear of my 60 has been replaced at least once but its trashed and needs to go. I kind of like the rubber diamond plate stuff that Specter has. Its precut to fit but seems kinda pricey for what it is. Being a natural cheapskate, I grab the closest MacMaster Carr catalog figuring I should find something similar for way less. They actually have something almost identical but a large enough piece of materia, itl is almost as much as the precut from Specter. I know there must be some awesome industrial cheap mat out there. Any ideas? I'd like it to be thin enough to mount on the back of the seat and the tailgate but thick enough to be a decent sound dampener.

Wag:

Check this out. This is what I am looking at for above the rear rollout drawers that I am building. I will retain the carpet on the back of the rear seat.

I use old truck rubber bed mats, get em free from car dealerships, cut to size. I use it over the carpet on my fj60 and its great, also replace the carpet in the fj80 with it, happy.

I went to Lowe's and got the rubber floor mats that you see in a locker room; you know, with holes in 'em and they connect and shit.

cut them to fit the area and it looks pretty damn spiffy.

Although, I am not as "seasoned" as ye' pimp of the land here; so it's all preferrence.

Piece.

actaully thats what I have in the back of the green 40 fits perfect, also doesn't trap water. The one I used was one piece(it filled up the back) but you can add pieces to it.

see your smarter than you thunk

60wag,

the stuff from Canal Rubber looks like it would be much cheaper than the SOR pre-cut. let me know if you want to split a roll -- I've been eyeing this for a few months but didn't know what the h%$# to do with that much excess

Um, if I'm reading that correctly, a "roll" of the 48" wide diamond plate vinyl stuff from Canal Rubber is 25 yards long and costs $34.25 a yard, or $775 for the roll!

For the rear cargo area, you'd only need three yards, which would cost about $100 plus shipping.

Comes in gray, too! Hmm, maybe my 60 needs this. . . . .
