I want to replace the carpeting in the rear of my 2010 Suburban with a heavy rubber material (maybe just put it on top of the carpet?), to make the interior harder to trash and easier to clean. Anyone know of a pre-made solution? I've tried local custom interior places, and they are a dead end (although they say they can install). thanks

Check out Cabelas rubber floor mats. I forget the name, but I have a set in my work truck and they work great. BTW, I work in a mine, ie. in knee deep mud all day long.

thanks. I'm thinking of a thick rubber material which would cover all of the carpet. I have heavy factory rubber mats, but that still leaves me vacuuming everything that they don't catch. And much of my hunting is in an area with red dirt and clay, which is a pain to get out of the carpet.

Might try your local Rhino liner guy. Just rip out old carpet and have them shoot the stuff. We have used it for some industrial applications and it worked great. It is pretty close to bullet proof.

Herculiner roll on is a good do it yourself alternative to the LineX or Rhino liners. The great thing there is while your at it you can put a pirce in there like angle iron, and coat the whole thing floor, sides, and the lip. It is water proof and you can get it to seal. Then all you need is a hose.

You may want some kind of mat or carpet to put down for sound deadening.... or not. Nate

I've owned a few suburbans and I always ordered the complete Husky liner set, including the back end, as soon as I brought them home. They have a lip on them that fits fairly snug and the whole thing acts like a trough. It's what all the northern boys (MN, ND, SD) put in their suburbans for dogs, snow, pheasant blood, etc., etc.

If you hunt in far west Texas, there ain't anything that can keep that red sand out of every opening/orifice on you OR your vehicle. I hunted west of Kermit once and had the pleasure of stepping outside during a 70mph wind storm. 'Almost choked to death facing downwind.

Chevy has rubber flooring in their "work trucks". It should be available from a Chevy parts department. I would think the back seat of your Suburban would be the same as the back seat of a 4 door pickup.

I think I put WeatherGuard mats in my '01 Ford SuperDuty, just as soon as I left the dealer. I got the one piece mat for the back. Last time I took it out, the carpet looked brand new. I've got the three piece system in the front. I had to special order the middle piece! Same result w/the carpet.

This thread reminds me I haven't taken them out in over a year or two. Might ought to do that.

Yes, WeatherGuard is the best followed by Husky. I have WeatherGuard front and rear in my 2011 Taurus. Afetr many trips to the deer camp all season, the carpet still looks new. The look is upscale while the protection is superior. WeatherGuard is actually a laminated material that holds its shape at the edges better than Husky but it costs a bit more.
