91coMANche Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I am finishing up the interior of my truck and want to replace the rubber mat with a nice carpet. I see a bunch of options. A company called ACC and other are out there...would buying the most expensive carpet be any better than the cheapest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 That place charges $217. I believe I got mine from this place and it was only $117. http://www.stockinteriors.com/items.asp ... uck_Carpet They have options which add to the price like, ultra plush and mass backing. But I just got the basic no-frills carpet and it fits and looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMJ Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Bought mine from ebay and it wasn't much. The carpet was ok, but the backing was not "right". I used some of the backing from my old carpet to try and fill in places where it looked wrinkled because of poor fit. Good enough for an old truck?, I suppose. But, I would wait for more responses.

91coMANche Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 I don't like that felt looking stuff and wish they would put some sort of rubber behind the carpet. Looks like "mass-backing" option puts rubber back there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northup Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I ordered mine from here. http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Carpets/Jeep/C ... 442/328712 color was damn near the same. Had a wool like heavy backing/underlay. It was preformed for the trans tunnel but still takes some work on making it fit. None of the stud holes or shift holes are cut, so take your time working into places. But all in all not bad for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91coMANche Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 So anyone get it with the mass backing or get the Essex premium carpet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91coMANche Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Ordering my carpet kit from Rockauto.com unless anyone has anything negative to say in the next 30 minutes. I will be ordering the most basic one since I cannot find a single person telling me I have to spend all the extra money for the "upgraded" units.

HOrnbrod Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Go for it, then let us know how it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91coMANche Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Will do. So far it seems as if everyone is getting the standard carpet instead of the Essex. I have yet to find anyone that gets the "massbacking." When my 20 year old vinyl came out there was normal surface rust under it and as we all know the vinyl holds lots of moisture. So hopefully even though the cheapest carpet will have the woolen like backing, now it cam breath up through the carpet instead of just sit there.

knever3 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I guess it's to late to chime in that I upgraded my carpet to the mass backing type. I wanted to get the most sound deadning I could get since carpet always has that insulation and waxy coating on it. Mine fit very well and the price was worth it to me, since I had new floorpans installed I wanted to make it quiet because I would hope water wouldn't make it in again. Here are some pics, I don't have very good ones but when I remove the interior again to dynamat everything I will take better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkbruin Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I don't recall ever seeing a black door skin or black dash... are those EOM or dyed? Looks GOOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionMJ Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Where did you purchase the mass backing carpet and does dynamatting the floor help with sound deadening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've seen some vinyl floor inserts. Anybody know if those are any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
