pics of interior bed liner

duct tape:dunno::laugh:

don't know much about this topic, but what if you put a layer of liner down, and while it is still sticky lay the dynomat down over it, and another layer of liner to finish the job?

I will be doing the bed liner later this summer, after repairing some holes in the floor.

 

[MuddinJeeper]

I would think that the dynomat would act as an expansion joint and cause the bedliner to crack on the top when the dyno mat expands and contracts, and consequently peel.

I had a 94 Toyota with the bed liner trick and I just used thick rubber floor mats on top of the bed liner to keep my feet cooler. I plan on doing the same thing to the XJ.

here's an idea,

what about spraying an adhesive to the floor, then lining it with aluminum foil, shiny side down. once that dries then herculiner the crap outta it. the alum. foil should reflect the heat back down making it cooler. i know the floor in my YJ got to hot to touch when i herc. it and pulled the carpet's.

Hot floors are a good thing. I cook lunch on my transmission tunnel all the time when wheeling. Seriously.

how about putting the heat mat on the underside of the jeep. my feet get hotter than hell with the carpet in while wheeling.

Don't know how long it would last ouside the jeep in the elements.

If you can weld rivet I would say get so cheap thin sheet metal and run it like this

Sheetmetal
Dynomat
Stock Stuff
Floor.

since it is front only it shouldnt be to bad.

No doubt! Especially when black is such a great cooking cover. Roasted leg is always on the menu. My XJ has a large rear oven for parties.

The carpet and pad is a great heat shield and I don't know if there is really a better alternative without much hassle. The thick rubber mat is not near as good for me and I'm tired of cooking my foot too.

So now that I got the floor all sealed up and the rust issue is under contol I'm thinking about putting the rug back in. I'm going to cut the rug to make it easier to take out. I'll cut the front apart from the rear right under the front seat. That way if things get wet it's easy to dry out.

How about Secondskin Firewall a-la this thread:

Never got a difinitive answer on whether everything would stick/work.

Do you think it would work if you ripped it all out and herc'd it, then put some sort of heat/sound deadener, then tried to herc it again, after sealing the edges of the deadener with silcone or something similar that is suited to that job. Then maybe you could cut your carpet into pieces so they are easy to remove. That way you could be insulated from heat and sound, and you wouldnt see the tacky foil backing all the time. You could take it a step further and get some of that velcro that you just stick on, and put it on a couple of spots on the carpet and floor so that the carpet doesnt move around.

Its my understanding that it isnt the carpet itself that keeps the heat/sound out so much as it is the insulation underneath it, at least on newer xjs. i could be wrong, its happened before.

i dont really know, there might be a lot of dumb stuff in this post, but just trying to throw ideas out there. I would do the bedliner inside in a heartbeat if i wasnt worried about sound and heat. I cant stand heat.

i saw in issue of JP mag where they did something like that to a tub of a wrangler. they layed a coat or two of herc down. then covered that with some heat/sound deadener matting. and followed up with more herc. they didn't say anything about having to seal up the matting though. and they left it at that and didn't reinstall the carpeting. they even measured the sound and heat before and after the mod and it made a pretty big difference IIRC

It wasn't a Wrangler; it was an M715. It was last month's issue, I think.

 

[FitchVA]

yeah, i just checked and you're right on both accounts

Are there any wires that run across the floor or in the door sills that need to be pulled up also? And how much door panneling needs to be pulled?

Depends on how thorough you want to do it and how picky you are about going over wires.

Yes there are wires down the top/side of the tranny tunnel and under the trim down the sides of the floor that should be pulled up in my opinion. And pretty much any trim that runs over/near the floor pan or door sills should be pulled (as well as the seats and center console). There's no need to pull any door panels unless you're coating the doors as well, but if you're doing this for sound deadening then you could pull them and hit the door frames and inside the door shells while you're at it.

Cool thx for the info guy I just pulled my carpet up and eww what a disgusting mess I have. Lots of surface rust too. Owell lots of work to be done. Have a good one everybody

To reflect the heat, use DEI Floor and tunnel shields, thats what JP said worked the best at reflecting heat. You put it on the outside of your jeep, I plan on putting some above the cat because thats where my floor board gets the hottest.

The stuff is kinda pricey at $30 for a 2'x2' piece, but my floor got so hot that my A/C couldnt over power it and I sweated up a storm for the 2nd half of my 3 hour trip.

Just ordered some tonight, I'll let you know how it goes. Dynomat is very thin so I would imagine that the herculiner would just transition from the dynomat to the floor without a need for any transition...

 

[1985xjlaredo]

Where do you find dei floor shield? I have all the grinding and the sandin gdone now. I'm going to spray everything with simple green and wash it out then do a good rub down with acetone. Bought a MAC mig 125 welder on ebay for 100$$ Not to bad a deal I think.
