Don't look under your carpets...

Yeah. I knew it was happening. I was just delaying fixing it because I knew it was going to suck.
A handy feature... it allows the driver to diagnosis the road conditions without leaving the vehicle.
That padding seems to just absorb moisture and let it chill there above the metal...
FWIW this is why I got a vehicle from Arizona, you lift the carpets and all you see is the chawton white, no other colors...
The padding is terrible. Does anyone have a good source for replacement pad that works well sound wise (heavy rubber etc) but does NOT absorb any water?
I am thinking of putting "cedar breather" type material down then sound deadening.

Be careful with dynomat as it can and does trap moisture.
I wish there was a DIY rhino liner stuff. Not cheap thin crap. Real nice thick stuff. I don't want to trailer my truck an hour each way to have it done.

Hmmmm - Monstaliner seems popular. Not bad stuff I'd say.
Tempting but I'd almost rather just pull my carpets twice a year and inspect stuff. Providing some ventalation would be the ticket. I am thinking the cedar breather stuff would really help. And providing protected drain holes....

My friends shop I'm using sprays linex. So that's the plan for now. I'd still like something between it and the carpets.
Go to Tractor Supply, get a small roll of hog/cow mat. It comes in different thicknesses. It's a dense rubber that's tough as hell. That would help absorb noise pretty well, lay the carpet over it.
Just take the "sponge"out from the floors and rear cargo area and be done with it.
The noise inside isn't that bad without it and the metal will surely appreciate it.
Just turn up the tunes and keep the windows open when on the road.
