da new guy always has a question...

[HI_LIFE808]

What up fellas. First off let me start by saying I love the site, tons of useful information. This is my first time posting on here and I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.

I was thinking about tearing out the carpet in my 2001 Runner and putting the bed lining material on the floor. My question is what are some of the potential problems I might run into (ex. wires, bolts etc.)?

Not sure but welcome and Aloha. Lots of locals posting up lately,, right brah!

Shouldnt have any problems as lots of people sprayed their floor. There are a couple wire looms but they are under the center console, door guards. there is also a control box under the driver seat and the fan for rear heat under passenger seat. All easily moved out of the way while you spray.

I've heard it's a lot louder on the highway.

didn't someone just do that a few months ago? there is a thread here somewhere with someone who did it, lot of pics and stuff.

Prep the crap out of the surface and all areas with some good grit sandpaper making sure all grease and other slick materials are out..You can try some spray on or roll on bedliners.

Take some pictures as you go too!
