I think I might have seen that at tractor supply
Go to lowes or Home Depot & check out their bulk (as in large roles towards the back of the store)flooring offerings. I saw flooring just like this at one of those suppliers just last week ( can't remember which, but it is one of those two).
Good luck.

Looks like rubber coin flooring like they use in Race Car trailers.

any other options that people know of? I have been looking for some thicker rubber matting for awhile now. I like that flooring but it is somewhat thin. I would like to find something that is thick, maybe 1/4 inch that cat be cut to size for mats. This way the weight of it keeps it in place and no glue needed.
Go to Tractor Supply or Orcheln if you want some thick mat. Horse stall mat will be 1/4 to 1/2.

Each mat ways 100lbs ! Better eat your Wheaties before you go pick one up. Not that that's heavy, but in a floppy 4x6 sheet, its gonna be awkward. I think I'm gonna go look at this stuff too. I spilled a full gallon of oil in the back of the 97 this summer and the carpet is pretty much smoked. This would sure give a heavy duty substitute. I would have to make sure I could cut holes in it in order to get the rear jumpseats to latch down proper.
I think I have seen that at Costco as well. A horse mat will weigh a ton. I have a pc of heavy rubber mat (2' x 6' x 3/4") similar to the one from TSC. I use in the garage to lie on in the winter and I can barely move it.
Some sort of gym mat/flooring might be good. They sell it in different thicknesses too. This is a good resource, matsmatsmats.com.
Tractor Supply sells the horse mat but they also sell two other thicknesses by the linear foot. It comes off a roll. The horse mat is probably 3/4" thick, the stuff on the rolls is thinner.
I had some of the thinner stuff in my 40. It worked pretty good, but eventually cracked into pieces. All three thicknesses are kind of a recycled type of rubber so once it becomes a little older it gets a little more brittle and cracks.
Just my experience.
