Whats under my carpet?
Working on getting rid of my old nasty red interior, ive painted my vents and center console(found i had a buddy living in there at one point) the dash is probly getting painted tonight or sometime this weekend but i realized painting over my carpet and headliner is probly not a good idea, id really like to remove my carpet and either use rubber undercoat or a smooth DIY spray in bedliner,
question is what will i find under my carpet?
i assume there will be some wires but im sure i can find ways around that, road nosie is something i can deal with i ride in jeeps with no doors or top everyday

There may be some wires along the tranny tunnel. I too have thought about this and have thought about using a bedliner product like Bed Armor like I have in my bed. Lizard Skin is another one that I have heard is excellent and can also reduce heat. You can also get peel-n-stick sound deadening material. As far as the wires, just wrap them up with plastic of some sort in case you use a liquid based product to keep the product off. Please let us know what you did and how it turns out!

I took my carpet out of mine and used herculiner on it. There are some wires (mine was only one group running from under the fuse box to under the divers seat that went to the seatbelt, transmission, transmissoin, and the tailights and stuff) and then there is also some type of sound deadener that is glued to the metal. Some of mine was broken and free so i removed as much of it as i could before i started sanding.
Here is the link to the thread and ill get the pics loaded back into.

Make sure you get a rubber roller to put down the material. You WILL cut your fingers up trying to do it pressing your hand/fingers into the aluminum backing, it's like getting a cardboard cut but worse because the aluminum slices right through your flesh and you don't realize it until there is blood everywhere...
