blusteve Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Working on my MJ interior at the present time and need some advice. Am changing to buckets with a center console and wanted to check my floors for rust.. in the process of removing carpet, floors look very clean--no rust but I noticed the padding under the carpet seems like it is wet and holds moisture.. I want to coat the floors to protect them and reinstall carpet... Should I leave the padding out or should I reinstall it. Looking to see what other owners have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I wrap the padding with a tarp first....but, that doesn't really work to great. I'd buy some sound deadener and just remove the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87mjdriver Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I went way over the top, its a long story so I won't get into it to much. I used por 15 on the rusty spots, then got that dyna mat sound deadner( apartly there is a reaL inexpensive version at home depot sorry I don't remember the name) after that I laid down 2 coats of herculiner then went to a upohlserty shop and got half inch jute padding then laid the carpet. my rigs pretty quiet except for the tires and exhaust.

They have some stuff at Lowes its a window flashing with foil on the back of it.. I'm using it on my mj.. its ok , definitely not Dynamat though..

purplexj Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I bought por for my conferr rack on my 2dr. Decided to use on the rust on my floors, but only had a dime sized rust spot and repaired it. Then used E-Dead insul on roof, doors , floors and all other panels. Works great. Now to pull the rugs on my mj . Check for rust and do the same. I'll be installing pwr/seats/w/locks . Might as well run amp power lines and new speaker wire for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I ripped the padding off then just went and bought some more at a local upholstry shop like twenty bucks to do my whole floor and it was thicker. Worked great to help deaden the sound of the cherry bomb. I sealed my floor first with bedliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
