Well as some of you might have known I've been looking for some vinyl floor in my ranger because my carpet was just too hard to clean. Well I finally got ahold of some thanks to ScottB and got it in today.

I went out to my buddies house this morning and we started getting out the seats and all the trim. Well all went according to plan until we got up to this point.
Everything but one seat belt buckle bolt.

Well We spent 2 and a half hours working on one bolt that we stripped. We shot it with PB blaster, then tapped it and it stripped again, so finally we busted out the trusty dremel and cut the bolt top off so I could have seats in my truck atleast by the time I had my final.

This is halfway through, we had to cut up my carpet to get the bolt out easier. But my carpet was alot worse then I thought.


My grandparents had the truck so we found some "aged" potato chips in the jumpseats trim. Provided by us little grand children haha

And finally all put back together.

I love it compared to the carpet. Plus it looks really good with the tan suprisingly.

And all in time to get to my final.

 

I could never let my truck get that messy

Looks a lot better

 

That was more than messy. Looks good though.

 

It didnt start out that messy, I keep stuff in my truck, but organized. But organization falls off on finals week and in 15 degree weather haha. BUt I shoulda got a shot before we started working.

 

u will love the vinyl man i love mine except in the winter when the snow off ur shoes melt & freeze over nite lol

 

That Vinyl looks sweet! i couldn't ever let my truck have that much stuff to be messy with, previous owner had candy stuffed in my jumpseat trim. slob. i was thinking of doing someting to my carpet cause its so dirty and i hate cleaning it. how long did the total install take you? i''ve been looking at differnt options, but seeing this i made up my mind.

 

With the trouble we had it took us 6 hours of on and off working. Its not that hard, just research and ask questions before you start. I really like it but I gotta realign it a little, its off to the drivers side about half a inch and It looks odd.

The last pic is how my truck normally looks, books and school stuff in the back under the jump seats. I dont think having stuff in the truck would count as messy. The top pic is because of what we were doing.

 

looks great man!! love my Vinyl flooring!

 

Looks great, can't wait till i find some for my truck :)

 

I wouldn't buy a Ranger unless it had vinyl flooring. That was one of my demands when searching for the Ranger I now own...



GB :)

 

So far im loving it, no more worries about really gettin the snow and mud off my shoes. Its nice.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

how do ur floor mats stay on the ground? Do they slide at all? i want to put mine back in but don't want them moving haha

 

you may reconsider that when you have a pile of ice under your pedals haha. plus it seeps under the trim and then you got ice and grit in everything...I still use floor mats for the winter just to catch all the water and junk. they don't slide around at all either

 

My floor mats don't slide around on my vinyl floor

 

So far no Ice, but I wipe the water up with a rag every night after school. So far just salt residue.

 

What mats do you have? Cuz mine slide like crazy.

I've got Ford mats with rubber teeth backing (technical name unknown haha- that grippy stuff for carpet) but they're also pretty tight in there

 

I may want to consider this or something. Spit bottles and coffee mugs turning over onto the carpet that covers the transmission hump=fail, and is a PITA to clean. Anybody know of a rubber floor mat or something that can cover the transmission hump and go down to the floor mats?

But the trucks looks good man! Nice and clean looking.

 

Just some walmart ones I picked up

 

I just transferred my vinyl flooring from my red cab into my black cab and I really like it so far. I still want to get some good rubber floor mats that wont slide around.
There is a little difference between the 2-door extended cab flooring and the quad cab flooring ... has anyone here had to deal with this issue before?

 

i've heard some guys say that it isn't something you should have a great deal of trouble with. I have some F-150 Rubber mats (they're a little longer than the Ranger ones and the only downside is they say F-150 on them) would they slide on the flooring? i believe i can get my hands on some and if im not doing anything crazy this weekend i will put serious thought into ripping it out.

 

get a mudjug and you'll never spill your dip spit again

 

I had weird fabric mats before I swapped which I just threw out because they were just bad. Ill end up getting some rubber ones sometime though

 

I want a vinyl floor.... how do i get one?

 

I bought mine from scottb on here. Go to a yard and i think they were on edges and fx4's.
