I posted a couple of pictures of this in the pictures thread. I decided to expand upon this and improve. This is V2.0 After all these rolls are only 14.99 and my g/f liked it and wanted one for her car also.
Before: My carpet isn't bad, but not great.

Invest in these. These thing save your butt when pulling any body panels or any plastic clips.

My knife of choice. I use these for work. A cheap one will work.

Nice, but I don't really understand the non carpet appeal. I often jump up there kneeling to reach in the back... carpet is much easier on the knees.

It is a million times easier to clean. And my carpet was TRASHED by the previous owner. Also this is a anti-fatigue foam. A lot more cushy then oem fabric. I could probably sleep on this stuff.
 
It looks bad to the bone. It gets back to the whole utilitarian thing for which I purchased this vehicle. My carpet is musty, has been wet before and thus looks pretty worn in spots.

I'd like to put Dynamat under mine first, but I'm pleased that a quality product is out there that's cheap...
 
Very nice Yeti!

Got a link to this somewhere on the web?

I did Dynamat a year or so ago and removed the rear carpet and cleaned it, but this is a great alternative.

Like the utilitarian look and feel.
 
Looks good, I may have to do something like that for the cargo area. The dog and everything else we throw back there keeps the carpet mat pretty filthy in mine. I'd leave the carpet down or dynamat the floor, It gets pretty loud back there without it.
 
I have had the gray color in the back of my 80 for about two years now. Its not as tough as rubber but for the price you cant beat it. The best part is dog hair does not stick to it like rubber or carpet. It is comfortable for sleeping on.

Nice job! How is the rear cargo section secured down? How many rolls to do the whole shebang?

Right now gravity. The holes for the rear seats are pretty much holding it in place. I'm looking into a velcro that sticks to carpet. 1-2 rolls depending on the sections you do. The rolls I got were 46"x93".

What was the price range for the rolls, by chance?

I'd like to strip out my carpet entirely, throw down some dynamat, then maybe a thin liner of padding and then go with something like this(cut to fit). http://www.autoanything.com/hitch-bed-accessories/75A3665A0A0.aspx

I'll post a link to the sources for padding in a few, can't find that link right now.
