Has anyone else used bedliner inside their Bronco? I am going to rip out my carpet, then bedliner everything behind the front seat, because I'm tired of trying to clean mud out of the carpet when I go muddin' with the top off. I was wondering if anyone else has done this and it increased the road noise inside the cab. If the back turns out allright I may also do it to the front cab.
Thanks

A few months ago I yanked out the carpet from the cargo area of my Bronco (still carpeted from the rear pass. foot area forward) and noticed a significant increase in road noise that gets into the interior. I have the same plan as you to roll a liner in, just don't know when I'll get to it.
The noise is by no means unbearable, and a liner should quiet it down a bit from where it is now. There was a lot of sound deadening material that was under my carpet, I don't think it'll ever be as quiet as it was.
I put bedliner in the whole interior of my bronco last weekend. The floor, around the inside of the doors, cab roof and around where the fiberglass top attaches. Hard to tell noise level increase since I have top off since then. Looks great and no more ugly tan color from the factory and talk about easy hose down.
Thanks for the reply. I was also thinking about leaving the sound dampening material in it and putting the bedliner over it. Do you guys think that will work?
Thanks

No. It's glued to the back of the carpet/floor cover, and will just come apart when you pull it up. It's lumpy and would look horrible if you tried to roll over it.
I put the Herculiner brand in from Autozone about a month ago into my 1992. I recarpeted the interior (passenger area) and put the bed liner in the cargo area. It's pretty easy but make sure you have plenty of ventilation (that stuff is wicked!) and WEAR GLOVES. As far as the heat pad/sound dampener under the existing carpet...you won't be able to roll the liner over it effectively. Just tear out everything, take a grinder, and get the floor area clean from debris (glue, rust, etc.)
It took me less than 12 hours from start to finish(tearing out the old carpet, prep of floor area, laying new pasenger area carpet, and herculining the cargo area).
Cost of the job was about 200 - 225.
The Hercliner seems to do a pretty good job at dampening the sound.
Sweet, thanks for the time frame. I bought the Dupli-color brand roll on bedliner. Got it at Wal-Mart $30 for a gallon and $10 for the rest of the kit, I just could not pass it up. Hopefully I did not get what I pay for and it turns out better than $40 worth.
Thanks
