Due to window seal leaks that have probably been around for years, I have a rusty floorboard esp in the rear cargo area. Just surface rust, no holes. I think I'm going to herculine the interior. Anyone done this and have any tips? I know about prep being the key, looking for any other gotchas. TIA. joe | ||

make sure you pull the plastic panels off in the back. Be carefull around the gear selecter. | ||

Damn dude...let me know how that goes..the temptation to eliminate soggy carpet is high, except for the noise issues afterward...if it weren't so loud I'd do it in a second... | ||

I have the carpeting and cargo pad out now and the noise isn't bad at all, barely any difference. Jason, what about the gear selector requires caution, other than obviously not applying this stuff so that it restricts movement? joe | ||

I tried it on my Geo Tracker and I thought it sucked. I ended up going and getting the car Rino Lined at a shop. I love it, nice and easy to clean up. Downn side, now I see puddles of water from where it leaks and it is a lot louder. Also a pain any tar sound deadning under the carpet has to be scaped away, which took a while to do. I got my car sprayed for $450. A friend had it done for $650, but he let them strip the interior. Good luck what ever you do. | ||

I've been hearing about the Line-X coating lately. It's aparently better but don't know for sure. You might want to research on that too. Glenn | ||

I Rhino-lined the interior on my Disco ... didn't notice any real noise difference, but, it does seem to get a little warmer inside without the rubber/foam insulation, though. Don't know about the Herculiner, as it's not available in my area. | ||

I am going to use a DIY Herculiner b/c someone gave me a gallon of it, so Rhino, LineX, permatech are all out. LineX IMHO is awesome, very nice texture and incredibly durable. Todd, did you do the prep work? How bad was it under the passenger area carpet? any tar or anything? I may just do the cargo area......... joe | ||

Mix some random paint with it and make a wicked cool color. | ||

Go to Lowe's and buy the Rust-oleum truck bed liner. It is a 2-part epoxy mix. I used it on my rack, and it works great. It is like $100.00 for a kit, but worth it imho. | ||

Joe, Mine was pretty bad, but it was rust. Previous owner had failed to plug a leak coming in from below the windshield and rust hadeaten through right where the firewall, floorboard and trans tunnel meet. The only thing that was on the floor was an adhesive grip-tape type material on the driver's side floorboard. I just ended up Rhino-lining right over it. I only wish that shop that did my Rhino-lining has some of the new colored mixes. It looks sort of funny having a green Disco with a tan interior, but the floor is black rhino-lining. Not nearly as bad as scrubbing mud out of carpet, though. If you just plan on doing the cargo area, it's not too bad. Make sure you have one of the little trim removal tools, otherwise you'll end up tearing up the panels (found this out the hardway). Seems like you would need some sort of barrier to keep water from running down the liner to the lower backseat floorboards. | ||

Hi Todd, thanks for the words of wisdom - that's encouraging about the passenger area, maybe I will just do the whole thing. I'll also closely check the area you had problems with. I've pulled off the trim in the cargo area w/o any problems. There is an upright lip in the floor under the rear seat, where the tire tool/crossbar bag goes, which *should* prevent water flow to the rear seat footwell. I'll pull all that up just to make sure. I plan on re-using my carpet, just lay it over the Herculiner. Anyone need a waterlogged cargo area insulating pad?  joe | ||

All this talk about the Linning is very interesting, Can anyone post or send me a few pictures of their trucks with this type of Linning? I was thinking it would be great to do this to My truck and then after it's all dry and solid, add some stainless checker plate to the inside and make it a sort of Tomb Raider interior! ANyone? | ||

Unfortunatly, my poor digital camera got fubar'd about 8 months ago on a trail, other wise I'd be more than happy to post pics. The checker plate seems a bit much. Just my 2 yen. | ||

Joe, Here's a link to a guy in Houston that did all the prep work to have the interior of his 90 sprayed (Rhino Line type spray). Obviously you've got a different model, but it makes for good reading: http://www.yellowdefender.com/accessories/interior/spray_in_bed_lining/index.htm Thanks, Nathan Hindman http://www.PangaeaExpeditions.com | ||

Thanks for the page, Nathan! Gives me a better idea of what I'm in for. I'll let you all know how it goes. Looks like this weekend is out due to cold and rain (and no garage to work in), but maybe I can get the prep work at least started. joe | ||

I used herculiner in my jeep bed and it held up really well. If i had to do it again id go with linex or rhino though they just look a bit more profesional. I have my brushgard linexed and it has held up well two years and no apperant fading. I did have to add another kit of herculiner in my jeep to get proper coverage. 100 dollars more and i would have been able to get it linexed |
