Black carpet....
Its time to replace my carpet and I would like to go with black (currently tan). Did any of these trucks come stock with black, or am I limited to aftermarket?
If I do have to go with aftermarket, does anyone recommend any specific brand? Any pics?

Black should look pretty good. It seems to go with most any interior color.

I have googled it. I have bought an aftermarket carpet for a truck before and I was not pleased with the quality compared to stock. I have also looked at other brands and they were about the same. Thats why I was asking for opinions on aftermarket brands.

Good luck in your search and let us know what you decide on. Hopefully some FTE members have replaced carpet and want to tell us all about it.

Hello fellow Mississippian! I would also like to know what's worth buying and what's not in the internet. My 2004 crew had a chain smoker owner and it really stinks/lingers and I recently quit so I really want that smell gone, and the carpet has seen better days.

Got some pics in my gallery but I just got the truck in early Dec 2009. If you're going to hit up an upholstery shop I highly recommend Dixie Seat Covers on Market St, Pascagoula. I had a rip in my drivers leather and $90 later it looks like it never was. Brought them two bow cushions from my 17' Bayliner and they did a supremely great job ($100/cushion). I believe they charge $45/hr and you can get deals if they have enough scrap on hand instead of ordering from a vendor.
I've never replaced carpet in anything I've ever owned so I'm completely green to the process. Based on what I've read and seen I would like to replace it and put down that twisted fabric remnant stuff instead of dynamat for sound deadening.
I wonder though, it is best to replace with carpet or to replace with vinyl?

After you wash it hang it over something like a saw horse and you going to have to let it dry in the sun for a day or 2. I think when I did my truck I just put the drivers seat back in and drove it with just that for two days.

I actually threw away the most recent LMC cat. when i was cleaning my truck out today... I paused for a second to look at the carpet before I tossed it.... They are higher than most for replacement carpet.
