Fellas,

proud owner of a 2002 ford ranger (ext. cab 2 door). my dad has a dodge ram
1500 with a factory rubber/vinyl floor. I like that.

I thought of taking out the factory carpet and using a "herculiner" do it
yourself roll on bed liner on the floor to achieve the same effect. I am in
the army and often track mud and dirt into the truck and would appreciate
the bennefits of a waterproof, easy clean floor.

Has anyone done anything similar? Any warnings on doing such? and
suggestions or good tricks to go with this?
Thanks... happy truckin'

Hi,

I bought a plain Ranger with the vinyl for just that reason.
I had to look at a bunch to get an automatic, AC and V6
and the vinyl floor but I sure like it.

You can get a rubber mat that goes all the way across
your floor from someplace, JC Whitney was advertising
them just a couple years ago.
Other option would be see how much for the factory vinyl
floor and remove your carpet.

Thanks for the suggestions, Ill look into that.
As always Happy Turckin'

You can buy molded, better than OEM, rubber to replace your carpet at JC
Whitney, www.jcwhitney.com As far as using the paint in stuff, from
discussions I've heard before, the consensus is that the fumes/odor would be
prohibitive.

I thank everyone for the suggestions...

I purchased a replacement vinyl floor for my ranger... once the uninstall of
the carpet and the install of the vinyl is done... it will be as if I bought
it that way... it should be sweet- Ill post a picture when Im done... maybe
2 weeks after it is installed (damn shipping time )

Thanks again, and as always
Happy Truckin'

My 02 Ranger Edge came with the rubber floor. Love that stuff! Wish my 04
F-150 had it...
