which carpet kit have you guys found to be the best? My rig is a 71 FJ40. Better in terms of fit, look, and sound deadening.

Yeah hurry up @Racer65!
Believe these are for the 73-78 FJ40s. 73 and early 74 with a three the shifter holes will be off a little and the wrong shape. The 72 and earlier had the 40/60 bench seats. Transmission cover is not as tall will many having column shift.
Will the hump shape pose an issue for the pre-73 trucks? I don't think the shifter holes is a concern, since you get to make your own cutouts.
I'd like to invite you and others to post pictures of the floors, humps, and especially the footwell areas of earlier models, including FJ45s. I'm interested to see to what extent the variations may affect the fit of this reproduction floor mat. I don't want to hijack this thread, so feel free to post in the Unobtainium thread instead.
I like carpet, it holds dirt rather than letting it roll into a corner of some tough to get to spot. I keep an eye it with moisture. I just went to home Depot, got a chunk of outdoor carpet and cut it to fit. The front piece is 3piece for ease of removal to let dry out or clean.
The transmission hump is smaller on the 72 and older. 73 grew because it had a four speed in some markets. Not a H41 or H42 but a earlier four speed. I posted pictures of different transmission humps in this thread Help save a virgin! Cut trans tunnel needed for FJ45 middle picture in post thirteen shows how much shorter the earlier hump is.
Not the best pictures of my 70 FJ40 but the best I can do right now.

I have used a 74-78 four speed mat in my 68 that wasn't in great shape. Trimmed the back where the tool box i on the driver's side. But I installed buckets from a 74 and modified a transmission hump from a 76.
