I doubt Devildog has a lot of issues with moisture lol. Gets 13” of rain per year in 4 down pours

And I probably get less than that!

True statement.
When I pulled the carpet out of the whole truck, the metal/paint under it looked like it just rolled off the assembly line, but carpet was absolutely falling apart. You could tear it like a single sheet of paper.
I did leave the leveling boards under the mat, so there is air gap there to allow any moisture to dry, and not trap directly against the metal and mat......what little we do get here. And no plans to do any fording of streams that deep, to have water flowing through the cab.

Ended up doing Monstaliner. I like it. Was easy to put on after I took my time doing prep work.

That looks pretty good! I hope it lasts.

I like Monster Energy Drinks and the Bed Liner. ML now has liner that can be tinted with base coat color. Monster with a shot of Pre-workout is better than coffee in the morning. Whoop Whoop!

I've used Monstaliner on a camper top. I rolled it on and it was smooth and very tough. You can spray or roll it and it comes in many colors.

i agree, water will get trapped, thats why jeep installed carpet to suck up all the water possible,when new so you could buy another jeep, DUH the problem is every one here steps over a dollar to pick up pennies, replace the DAMN 40 year old rear window and tail gate seals and maybe just maybe you wouldnt have any leaks like when it left the factory, maybe you wouldnt have the rattles and wind noise either, but hey i know you 4dr guys have the added cost of all the added rubber seals
i only have a 2dr model but yoou want to be let in on something i replaced ALL the seals doors/windows/tailgate and guess what i have to roll down a window or slam the doors because it's air tight ,hum what a concept IMO

Mine has fresh weatherstripping. No moisture problems at all. But I don't want carpet in the back. I like the utilitarian aspect of a cargo area that I can throw bagged mulch or plants in from the garden center, or I can haul my mutt in even if she has muddy paws without worry. Ever since I purchased it 7 years ago, it has been sans rear carpet. I love it that way. Drove it today, misting rain, GSD was in the back, head out the tailgate window. I didn't have to worry about keeping any carpet clean.

Now, those 7 years of using the cargo area like a truck have left their marks on the cargo floor in the form of scratches.

I would like the color of the cargo floor to better match the minty condition honey colored shag I scored a few years ago on ebay.

I'm leaning toward Durabak.

Contrary to the earlier post about them not offering an exterior smooth...

They still do. It's in the marine section.

Me thinks the tan would be pretty close.

Good news! Obviously I missed it.

i put in a sub floor marine plywood, and have a air space between the metal floor and the ply to allow any moisture to evap., and i covered it with coin mat flooring and added removable ty-down rings (aircraft cargo) style at numerous locations to allow versatility , as far as seal there are a lot here who dont spend the money on new seal then complain about water leaks DUH just m.o.

my 90s cargo area carpet and tailgate carpet is GONE... lol im thinking of ripping it out, and taking those metal things out and doing the herculiner on it that i put on my 76 j10 bed, after seeing the pics in this thread... it looks wayyyy better than a torn up rats nest remnants of carpet.. and the durability is really nice.. i have had metal, and wood, and huge logs and conrete blocks in my 76s bed and no issues with the roll on herculiner

The whole series of updates on my thread, but I did go through with the Durabak smooth tan on mine.

would the raised metal strip on the floor bump make sliding larger items difficult ? shouldnt it be flush. So the lower strips maybe should be raised up a tad ? Just curious

I've thought about that, but haven't tested it out yet. Also would have to come up with a way to raise the lower sitting strips, but would most likely relocate the strips that sit higher to a recess instead. I simply installed them where they were originally placed from factory.

I dig it. I ended up taping the screw heads in case I needed to take them out later. I like the color.
