The moment you pull the carpet out is the moment you've given up on your Disco. It'll turn to trash really quickly. You'll start disrespecting it and not thinking it's a nice vehicle anymore. Then you'll stop caring about banging the body panels. Next thing you know your once pride and joy is a total piece of crap and has no chance of every maintaining its dignity.
D1 carpet has to be some of the easiest to clean automotive carpet in existence. You can pull it out, rinse it with the hose, and let it air dry and it looks great. The padding however, is a royal bitch. Still, carpet with no insulation looks/fits terrible.
I would think some closed cell foam, like a blue ThermaRest would work. Same type of stuff the pool noodles are made out of.Jake1996D1 said:
I pulled the carpet and padding out from just the floor in the front. I left the carpet/padding on the trans tunnel. I put down two rubber floor mats on each side and unless you look close you cant tell there's no carpet underneath. Noise and heat are not an issue with mine.
Given up on going to the mall? YESjymmiejamz said:
Given up on ever getting the padding dry? YES
I had metal Floors in my 109 for a year and it was warn. I threw in some rubber matts and it is a bit better. I was looking to see if they made something like the exmoor acoustic matting that goes in series rovers and defenders. My carpet has a few holes / wear spots and I was looking to spruce it up. As far as giving up on the disco....... My 109 is my daily driver because of reliability issues with a disco that is 27 years younger. I try and love her... She is the cause of this relationship drama, not me!

I did the same on mine after the po soaked the front carpet in Canadian swamp water for a week.That is a smell you can not easily get rid of.

I've seen pictures of Eric in that truck. What makes you think swamp water is the source of the smell?:rofl:
This is what I would use If you are worried about heat or road noise.

Dont know about how waterproof it is though.

This one actually looks like the one to use, since it doesnt absorb water.

Here's what I did:
Remove carpet and pad since padding was soaked from leaky sunroofs...bad enough I had to POR-15 the floorboard.
Remove foam from hard rubber "top" of padding.
Purchase rubber anti-fatigue tiles from home depot (the kind you see in commercial kitchens, assembly stations, etc - black rubber with holes in it)
Cut out and assemble tiles to match hard rubber.
Install tiles, hard rubber and carpet.
Just as quiet/insulated as before, less stinky and able to air dry by itself.
Not saying it's an original idea, I read it somewhere.
