I was going to rhino line my truck floor, but got to looking at these, which would allow me to insulate underneath, and still avoid carpet. The mud where I live, is pretty bad...

If nobody has any experience with the item at the link, could anyone recommend a similar solution that you've been happy with? It's for a crew cab.

I have recent experiance with this item in my v10. It is very thick and quality material. It takes some patience and a heat gun to get it to lay in correctly. I put dina mat on my sheet metal, put the insulator that came with the kit over that, and went with it. Happy so far.

Thanks, Eric. So when you put in the trim down by the door sills, does that trim suck down into the mat ok, like it would into the carpet? I think I'll go this route. Probably be mid June before I get that far, but this looks like a nice compromise between rhino liner and carpet.

I put the 2 piece aluminum trim on and it pulled the trim down good. The whole process took over a week. Warm up the matt in the house. Install in truck as best you can, let cook in the cab in the sun. Fit and trim for final placement, useing heat gun to work it into corners and bends. Used heat gun on mounting spots for seats to make soft, felt dimple with finger and drilled the mat for bolts.

Eric:

How thick was the dynamat you put down, underneath the floormat and included insulation? I'm starting to maint the interior of my cab, and am about to start ordering this stuff. didn't want to go too think, and not have the trim on top of the rockers fit.

Same question here. Imma 'bout to pull the trigger on something to line the floor with. OE insulation (which is still like new under the seat) the mastic lookin stuff with thick felt under it, makes me think that the thick 315 mil closed cell foam (sticky back material) would be the closest. But considering thinner like 80mil foil backed, typical dynamat type sound mat. Going under new carpet with the jute pad (I think, haven't taken it out of the box yet).

So I did a hybrid install. I used the sound deadener stuff from summit, the big squares. Peel and stick. Then I installed the oem style pad that came with the floor mat from lmc. It all worked out well. I trolled the web, and watched the videos and settled on summit cause it was in stock, not a lot of money, and on my door like 3 days after I ordered. Nothing but good stuff to say about the stuff I have bout from summit.

^Thanks.
Guess I need to bust out the carpet and see what I’m dealing with for padding included with the carpet.
I’m leaning towards the thin foil/mastic 80mil stuff. No real need for a squishy pad under the carpet imo.
