Source for quality replacement floormat

[Miah]

Hey everyone. Looking to replace the house carpeting that someone put in my Blazer. Got it all cleaned out & started installing one of those aftermarket rubber floormats & it's just not fitting well & my lack of patience isn't helping things. Does anyone know if some company actually offers a good quality interior mat that's pre-cut & ready-to-go?

I haven't put them in my 1009s, but I just installed a floor mat from LMC in my 1028.

I took it out of the box and unrolled it out across the hood to sit in the sun for half an hour. That softens it and gets any wrinkles out. Be careful, it also gets quite hot!
Then we laid it in on the floor and worked it into place. Careful local heating with a heat gun kept things soft in the right places and with some massaging it conformed very nicely to the floor and the humps.

If we'd laid it in cold from the box, I think it would have been like putting a rhino skin over a horse.

Cheers

Yeah i bought an ACC brand off ebay & it just didn't fit the floorpan that great & getting all the bolt holes lined up didn't end well.
I'm not really wanting to go thru that again, i'd pull a used mat 1st at this point.

Just a suggestion. Get a sprayed in Line X floor and never look back. 20 years on a plow truck and it died when run off the road into a ditch, The floor was rust free when I sawzalled the cab for scrap. Good Luck.

Ehhh. Not worth it in this case. The floor's been dynamatted by the PO before they did the house carpeting. It's not worth fighting with. Just want a minimum fuss rubber floormat & go about my business

M813rc, that mat looks great! I have a M1008 in dire need do you have the part number?

I bought it from LMC about 10 days ago. It is the 'high hump' version, appropriate to all 4WD trucks. Part number is below.

The TC shifter hole isn't cut out, I just cut a diagonal X in the rubber when it was all snugged down to stick the shifter through. I decided not to cut around the fire extinguisher bracket mount, I'll just poke holes for the screws through the mat.

It took the heat gun and some massaging to get it to really snug down, but was a great fit. I'm pretty picky, and I'm real happy with this one.
I painted the floor and up the back wall of the cab with Lizard Skin prior to the mat. This was mainly to cut down heat in the cab.

Cheers

The ACC kit is straight garbage. I spent 2 days fighting to get it right. Never did.

I wish my ACC kit turned out even 1/2 this good.

If you try again, the LMC is good, but you do have to work it a bit with heat. Well worth the effort.

0331 USMC-style?

I may give the LMC a shot if the local upholstery guy tells me to kick bricks.

Yep USMC style, and a heavy at that.

Me too, but I was an M60 gunner.
