New Flooring on th SJ

Post by powell1832 » Mon Jul 27, 2009 4:04 pm

Hi,

I am looking to replace the amazing carpet that is currently on the floor in my SJ, I would like either checker plate, or rubber, does anyone know where I can get some. I have tried the usual places such as Ebay but keep drawing a blank. Thanks.

Also what about seats that are presure washer proof front and back?? Any Ideas????

Thanks

Richard

I would run with no carpets. The front foot wells are lined with some sort of plastic rubber stuff anyway.

Seats, sorry carnt help. Seat covers?

yeah I agree. I took the carpet out of mine now it's much easier to clean. when it gets too muddy I just pull out the bungs in the drain holes and wash it out with the hose. or... pull the bungs out and drive through a deep ford 8-)

and the seats are only held in by 4 bolts each so it takes 5 mins to take them out if your worried about them getting wet when you pressure wash the inside!

Well I took up the carpet and I am glad I did, as I have discovered a bit of welding that needs doing.

Also I am not impressed with the twonk who decided to use superglue to hold the carpet down! I have some work to do!
