Rhino is great... for an offroad rig. I like being able to wash it out inside and out, but it doesn't have the same sound dampening qualities that the carpet or even rubber mats and the insulated pad had. It makes the cab a lot louder. Heck, at 70 mph with the windows up you still have to yell to be heard by anyone in there, but I probably wouldn't have that problem with a less aggressive tread tire.

yeah, thats what im looking into also. a cheaper way. and im only doing interior so chips and stuff are no big deal. im just worried its a more shotty meterial and will chip off a lot easier. i just need to put something down so i dont have to worry so much about rusting out the floor boards. there is no carpet.

some guy on one of these many bronco forums out there has done it, i remember asking him some questions about it. i cant remember the s/n or even what board it was on. he said it is so expensive because (at least for the floor panels too) they have to make sure none of it gets up in the dash and electrical stuff, and whatnot, its more involved than just a regular truck bed. sorry no helpful info.

Yeah, it's best to remove any of the plastic that contacts the floor pan, and the seats if your doing the front too. The back seat is no prob. but be sure to paint the latch mechanisms and then have them mask them off so that it doesn't cause any interferences there. Same thing at the door jams, you don't want it building up in there either. We did a jeep once with the do it yourself rubberized coating and it really wasn't that bad. Not nearly as durable as the spray in stuff, but just foot traffic getting in and out it did fine, and was very non-slip also. It was actually just rubberized undercoating if I remember right, came in a spray can... we just took out the seats, cleaned up the metal real well, and sprayed it on.

awesome man. im thinkin im gonna give it a shot next week when the weather gets a little nicer. my rig is not in "show" condition, and it needs something on the floor boards besides bare metal. i figure if i mess up a little, its not that big of a deal.

Here's a couple of pics of my Bronco with Herculiner on the bed. I didn't want to deal with the nasty carpet anymore. Carrying snowboarding gear in the winter and dealing with occasional rain has made that stuff really smelly.
The liner only goes up to the front set of carpet. I didn't feel like ripping out the front seats yet. I used a 1 gallon can and that got me the bed and a recoat of the tailgate(I did that a couple of years ago).

awesome!!
ok, im assuming to do the front also ill need 2 gallons, but, was that one gallong for the back end stretching it, or was there a bit to spare. do ya know what i mean? like you have a couple square feet left and are like, oh crap, i dont think i have enough, or you get done and retouch a few spots cuz you have a bit left over? i really wanna do this. i want it to look good, im mainly doin it because :
1. theres no carpet in there to begin with, so that step is out of the way.
2. to help prevent rust.
3. it (IMO) is cheaper and easier than recarpeting.
4. why recarpet, i wheel too much, and this makes for easy clean up.

One gallon was enough to do the 2 coats on the bed and one coat on the tailgate with enough left over to do a small touch up here and there on the bed. I would say 2 gallons will be plenty to do the entire floor pan and tailgate. More than likely you'll have a good amount leftover too. BTW make sure the top's off when you do this. The stuff has some strong fumes and can mess you up quick.
When I did the tailgate a while back I used the 1 quart can. It gave me 2 coats with some to spare, not much though. I just recoated the tailgate to get that third layer on there.
Oh I forgot the mention, the liner goes all the way up to the front door on the sides. I took the panels off. I stayed below the B-pillar trim. Hope that makes sense. It should give you a good idea of how much a gallon covers.
