Rubber mats in Buggies and Baja's
vduboy - July 20th, 2014 at 09:24 PM

What are the clever guys on here using for floor mats in their buggies and bajas? Was thinking of putting some rubber/foam mats down to help with comfort noise and a bit of insulation but am a bit worried about the rubber sweating and causing rust on the floor.. not that dubs have an issue with rusty floors! And ideas?

I used a good quality marine carpet and cut out 4 mats to size. I use sticky velcro dots on the back of the mat and floor to keep in place but easy to remove
to wash out and it dries quickly. Works for me :tu:

In the wench I purchased some carpet remnants from a carpet shop, cheap as, just cut it to fit ( made some cardboard templates) put normal underlay under it and just loose laid it, it stays in place just fine. In the back of the Caddy I bought some rubber matting from Clark Rubber, bit more expensive but is damned fine quality, again, I cut it to fit real neat and it stays in place just fine ( fits better than the factory mats)

Anti fatigue mats like you would in a workshop. Foam rubber with holes in it, you still need to take them out when you get dirty mo matter what you put in there.

Otherwise trufit carpets say they can makes a one piece vinyl or rubber mat for your whole floor if you send them a template

Cool thanks for that guys. Just trying to get a bit organized I do like the look of rubber mats, Supercheap sells rolls of the stuff will just have to get some underlay as well.

Rubber door mats from bunnings, get 4 and cut them to shape. We've used them in buggies and Bajas.
