Is anyone ever going to make a vinyl carpet replacement for the X? I took my carpet out because it was moldy, now I'd like to put something else in. Rhino liner is too expensive and wouldn't really give me the look I'm going for.

You could avoid driving in deep water...
My carpet is just fine after 3.5 years.

dammit Ian!!! I know this... and I have stopped!!! But I still get in mud, my daughter still spills sodas, etc... I hate carpet... I'm just wondering if there's ever going to be an alternative.

Roll on Herculiner is a cheap DIY option if you really wanted to.

Interestingly enough I am in the process of manaufacturing this. With racing motoX lots of dirt makes it's way into the truck. The process has been delayed due to work and the upcoming race season. I will try to update once the process is further. How many people would be interested?

I'd be interested if a complete set (front, rear, and cargo area) could be had for $100-$150. Any idea how much something like this would cost?

That sounds promising. I would be intrested in the finished product too.

You probably could do the entire interior for less than $150 with many, many, many, hours of removal and prep work.

Some disadvantages:
There are cable runs all over the place. Herculining over them would make them almost impossible to repair if an electrician fault occurred.

Carpet has pretty good dampening. The Xterra seems loud enough with M/Ts and a buzzy engine. I can't imagine how much louder it would be without the carpet.

Another thing about Herculiner is that it is very rough. It dries vary hard and is a real pain to remove any dirt or mud from. I have to use high speed spray on my Herculined bumper and rocker panel guards.

Believe me, I’ve thought about doing the same thing but the benefits really don't seem to outweigh the problems. I would also be interested in the finished vinyl product though.

I would also be interested.

plans are to include a sound dampening underlay

for some it may not be feesable for water intrusion, but plans are to have this unatached for those who might end up with floating floor mats

I do agree that it would take many hours of prep time and there are so many wires running through the vehicle that it would not be worth covering them up, and I don't want to leave them loose anymore... as far as noise is concerned, I hardly noticed a difference when I took my carpet out... it's been over a month now and it doesn't bother me at all... I'm just getting tired of looking at sheet metal on the inside of my $20k truck... also, Close1... how long till you get a finished product and what's a price estimate?

Yes, the hurculiner dries VERY rough. Like, it will cut you up if you rub it hard I've got more than my share of cuts/knicks when I accidently bump into my bumper that has it on there.

just remove the carpet and throw in some husky liners

Or you can use AstroTurf Lol

i'd be interested in a replacement if you made it

Thats what I did! Still looks bad, though... hey Close1... how much longer?

Sorry guys, been real busy getting ready for the new MX season, training,biking, and .... :rolleyes: working. Not much time for the X R&D. It may be a lil while yet

bump.

Anyone heard of anything yet?
