After 2 or 3 days of work, I finally got the insulation and carpet done for the Ranger! It took more spray adhesive than I was expected, and I went through a lot of knife blades, but it's done!
I'm really happy with the results, and am excited to get started on the sleeping platform and storage.

Thanks Gary. It's not perfect, there's a couple spots where it sags a bit (gonna do a follow-up video on this). But for now it works great!

GREAT VIDEO! You did a great job. Most toppers (like mine) only have just the carpet. I also installed a BedRug brand bed liner. It is a very special rug that contours to the groves on the truck floor and keeps it perfectly smooth and flat. I have not done the Reflectx mod yet.

That sounds really nice! If I wasn't so constrained on budget for this build I definitely would have gone with something like that.

Wouldnt it ofbeen easier to take the shell off and lay it upside down to do the work? Man you nailed it, good job!
@nowakoutside
@nowakoutside 11 месяцев назад
Yes, for sure it would have! I'll be completely honest, I don't know why I didn't. I guess I was thinking that it was somehow easier with the topper on? Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it, even if my method could use some work!

Thanks! They're a fun platform to build stuff like this since they're so simple. It's also nice to use a smaller truck so you don't have to spend on gas during a road trip. Good luck with yours!

It was an auto/marine carpet from Menards. It was like 79 cents/sqft I believe and worked really well!

Have you tried using anything Velcro to that particular carpet? If so do they hold strong? You did such a great job on yours. I have my topper off truck in shop and about to start this project. I’m glad I didn’t start using the almost black in color speaker carpet I have. I had been looking for this color gray to match rest of truck. Looks like my Menards has this carpet and about to figure out how much to get from there and the cuts if they can do that too But yeah. Was wondering before I buy about the Velcro bonding with it.? Thank you sir

Next time. Or whomever wants to do what he does, is to take the shell off and flip it upside down.

Question: would a spray foam have filled in those small gaps, in lieu of or in addition to the tape? Especially if you cover it with carpeting after. Planning mine…
@nowakoutside
@nowakoutside 11 месяцев назад
Hmmm. I suppose it could. Honestly it would probably give better insulation than mine too, since the gaps would be filled instead of just covered with a thin layer of tape. I'd be curious to see/hear how it comes out if you do it with foam!
