My carpet is faded so I ordered some new black carpet and some sound deadener. My 2000+ mi drive when I bought the truck was a bit noisy (Flowmaster 40's), so we'll see how this insulation works.

In about 4 hours my father in law and I got the seats and console removed, the carpet removed, the insulation cut and positions. Making the holes in the insulation to match the bolt holes took a little while, and that's as far as we got. I'll next be cutting the bolt holes in the carpet before putting the seats back in and trying to wiggle the bolts through the seat mounts, the carpet, the insulation and finally the floor holes.

I didn't realize how faded the current carpet was until I took it out. Wow.

Seats and Consol out. Dang, it's quite a reach to get the nut underneath for the seat belt.

Before

A bit dusty

Wiped down, no rust
