Re: Rubi Carpet removal + Rhino or bedliner coating ?
 

Pulling the carpet up is extremely easy. You can just yank it out from
under the center console if you want. You'd need to remove the center
console for the rhino-lining application anyway, though, and it's not
hard. It has only a few screws, then you just pull it straight up.
(The bottom of the shifter boot just pops up quite easily, nothing
affixing it there.)

Re: Rubi Carpet removal + Rhino or bedliner coating ?
 

The carpet is just tucked underneath the edge of the console. It's easy to take out.

The carpet in the back is all one piece from the driver side to the passenger side. I only take mine out when it gets wet. I lay it out in the sun and it dries out just fine. I've gone out at night and gotten the carpet wet. When I get home, I just pull it out and let it sit on the garage floor until the next day. I then rinse it out until clear water runs out of the carpet and set it in the driveway to dry out.

I've done this 10 plus times and I haven't had any mold or mildew problems. In fact, the carpet still looks new.

I would love to pull out my Rubi carpet.. I see where it is attached at the
top left of the driver's foot area but how would I get it out from under the
center console ? I would hate to pull that all apart.

A bedliner or Rhino coating on the floor would be the coolest but who
could I go to for this ? any large nationwide places do this or ?

Re: Rubi Carpet removal + Rhino or bedliner coating ?
 

The carpet is just tucked under the center console... just give it a bit of
a yank.

As for the Rhino lining. A local Rhino dealer did mine for $400. As
someone else said, I had to remove the seats, console, belts, and rollbar
padding. Left the driver's seat & that seatbelt in. I had plugged all of
the bolt holes, but he actually removed the plugs before he sprayed it in...
said I wouldn't have gotten them back out very easily afterwards and he was
probably right. I'm not sure what he did to keep the holes from getting
plugged, but none of the bolts were difficult to get back in. As someone
else mentioned... check with a local Rhinolining, LineX, etc., dealer and
see what they say. You might ask around and make sure the guy has good
references too. I had found a couple of guys who had work done by the local
Rhino place and they were impressed.

The prep for me took about 3 hours to get everything out. About the same to
put it back in.

I've heard good things about the do-it-yourself stuff too... I just didn't
want to mess with it.
