Carpet alternatives
He guys, what are some alternatives for carpet in a runner? I have heard of people using a bed liner. I think it looks really cool, but the prep work looks like it might be to much for my skill set at this time. Plus I am not sure how to deal with the wires that run under the carpet to the back if using bed liner. Any other suggestions? Pics would be great if you have them.
Thanks,
Steven

What did you use? How long did it take you?

I used Rustoleum spray on truck bed liner. I took a wire brush to the old paint first then just spayed over. The prep took a couple hours and the liner itself was sprayed in 15 minutes.

No prob. I ordered my new carpet from these guys and the product seems great, time to receive after shipped was fairly quick and the cost wasn't too bad.
I did carpet, but at this stage in my build if I were to do it over i might just do the bare vinyl too. Regards.

I would love to put clean carpet in mine, and then buy a set of the molded vinyl to make my own Weathertech mats out of.

If you want us to help from afar please let us see, hear, feel what you're dealing with.
A picture paints a thousand words.
Toyota components are bullet-proof. Issues often arise from poor wiring, assembly and/or maintenance. Suspect those first.
Next only to our senses, the multi-meter is the most important electrical diagnostic tool. Spend $6 at Harbor Freight or $$$ blindly replacing parts.
