Today I install the vinyl flooring kit from ACC in my 1988 Toyota Pickup! This floor is super heavy duty compared to the carpet and should be much more durable. I use this truck as a rock crawler/adventure/overland rig so it was time to take out the 32 year old smelly carpet and lay down some tough vinyl flooring. Definitely not easy to install, but totally worth it and you can use this video as a "how to"! Great progress on the transformation of the interior in my Toyota. Now I just need to get the door panels, shifter bezel, and dash finished.
Now I have to decide what to do in my 4runner...carpet or vinyl?

Currently making a center console to cover that shifter area! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LKKYRjDtNw.html

Congrats you made it through! It's definitely much more difficult than people think! I've installed about 10 aftermarket kits, and 4 OEM carpet kits, it's a night/day difference. You got to fight for hours on the A/M flooring kits, but the OEM kits drop right in. Did ACC vinyl on my 85 standard cab and the experience was highly unpleasant. It looked great though!

@kaleidoscope8276 3 месяца назад

My husband got this flooring for his 1995 extended cab. we laid our in the sun, put his shop heater blower to where it helped soften the vinyl, its extremely hard,thick and tough. so it helped some, outside remo at the time was 65. some days was going to get in the 80s, so after putting in tje padding, he layed it inside(it needed trimming) put the truck wherenit got alot of sun with all doors closed for a few days, and man it starred forming its contours like yours did in the video, making it easy to trim, he had to take it out only 2 times to get it trimmed right for the front, he measured and did all that stuff, and it fit, hes now in the process of cutting holes for wires and bolts, in between working.

Thanks for the info and tips. It looks great. I’m considering taking the carpet out of my vehicle and going to vinyl. I like the idea of vinyl because I go to the desert a lot, and dealing with all the dust and dirt in the carpet is so annoying.

@RM_Garage Год назад

Yep. It’s way easier to maintain.

@CB-hr6zs 2 года назад

Good video bro. Whatever you end up doing in the 4Runner it’s gonna look good.

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

Thank you! I hope so

@boorhadly Год назад

in the future, you can use the seat rail indentations to triangulate the center of the gear shift, and from there make measurements down toward the floor of the vinyl to cut out the shifter boot section, erroring to less of a cut so that you can dial it in once its inside the cab

@nataliepiper8766 11 месяцев назад

Mine was huge also and yes it was very hard to work with but it’s well worth it

@will2gencrawler801 2 года назад

Makes it easier to pull the shifters out and bottom brackets on dash below the radio then it slides in

@aerialrescuesolutions3277 2 года назад

Stiff stuff right there. I've cut that stuff wrong before too, now I make cardboard pieces for an area and transfer the cut lines onto the new product. Great editing and camera angles, and it looks great. Jim.

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

Yup. Lessons learned. I think overall it went well though and thank you!

@codyhinds683 Год назад

I wonder if there is a bulk vinyl option out there that is thinner/easier to work with but has the same awesome texture? I imagine you could mold it to fit with a heat gun, if it is not pre-molded.

@afrohardt 2 года назад

Carpet for sure in the 4runner

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

I’m thinking the same. So much easier

@DanielChavez-ob5sh 2 года назад

Did you try leaving it in the sun so it warms up, gets soft and is more pliable. And would a heat gun help it mold to the floor of the truck

@cammk9415 2 года назад

Honestly if this is something you’d wanna do I’d personally go carpet in the 4runner and try keeping the interior a nice refreshed oem look. They’re so hard to find in the rust free clean condition that you have and having some nice carpets would look super sick

@leivaandre 2 года назад

100% agree

@Samprendergast 2 года назад

I definitely vote carpet in the 4Runner

@yadadameet 2 года назад

Damn dude! This actually turned out way nicer than I had initially anticipated from reading others’ testimonials on tbe forums. Like I mentioned before, I did buy carpet w/ mass backing for my 86 t4r, but now I’m contemplating going the vinyl route hmmm..

Thanks dude!

Do you have the link to buy the vinyl?

@samlepage8079 3 месяца назад

Do you have a link for the product you used?? I have an 85 xtd cab that needs flooring and unfortunately a roof liner too…

@arnoldporter5554 Месяц назад

Hi I don’t know if you stated where you got the vinyl from but I have an 03 ford excursion and have been trying to find a company that can sell me the fitted vinyl flooring. Do u have any info on where you got your’s or any advice? Thank you!

@luxembourgtbonbon7190 2 года назад

It's a great job, I am personally like Vinile better than Capet , by I like your truck , specially not only manually , but with an other twins stick . I wanna know to what purpose those twins stick stand for?. But anyway I like it , no matter what ! . Congrats ! ! . .

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

The twin sticks allow me to get gear reduction without being forced into 4WD. So I can go into low gear in either 2 or 4 wheel. The truck has dual transfer cases for more control off-road

@nathanielpulling 2 года назад

you should use a carpet knife. it is much sharper!

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

Definitely will do in the future, thanks!

@austincampo9367 2 года назад

How well does the sound deadening work? About to swap carpets in my 86 and really on the fence on whether or not to install deadener.

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

You should check out my other 2 sound deadening videos, I bang on a couple panels before and after and there’s a huge difference.

@chmva2000 2 года назад

My friend, big detail, you should have removed the shifter plates and just make the star cut for the shifters then place the plate with screw over the vinyl to secure it under it…

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

I totally agree! Hindsight is 20/20. Definitely something I’ll do next time.

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

But at least it gives me an excuse to make a custom shifter bezel now :D

@t-rav_car_channel4012 2 года назад

Dang man, looking good! I'd go carpet in the runner. Did you replace your floor pans? They look new!

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

Nope, just cleaned them up and painted! No bad rust or reason to replace em

@user-ln5qg5bz2k 5 месяцев назад

Sorry about that vinyl that you ordered, how did you order it or in which store did you buy it? I've been looking in stores for that style of vinyl but I get other styles. Can you tell me how you ordered it?

@redneckcrawler2367 2 года назад

Maybe check oc auto carpets? That's what I'm looking at for my 86 4runner. I haven't looked at rock auto so I don't know if there's a price difference.

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

I think I checked it out but I forget if the price was different or not. It’s pretty cheap from rock auto.

@justwastedtv4075 2 года назад

@missnickelbee7789 2 года назад

It’s pretty thick but yeah it would’ve helped. Over time it has settled very well and looks great!

A heat gun wouldn’t of helped mold it better?

@ImFastrnU 2 года назад

could have used a heat gun to soften some of the harder areas to help mold it.

@RM_Garage 2 года назад

I agree. It settled over time and fits great now!

@Theyresellingchocolates 5 месяцев назад

Do you think this would make it easier if I put the old carpet on top of the vinyl and traced it out instead of having to figure out measurements?

@RM_Garage 5 месяцев назад

Probably, but cut it about 10% bigger at first so you can trim to fit

@vascularbastard8604 2 года назад

@user-re8kk5eq8z Год назад

DON'T BUY ACC vinyl flooring mat. As you could see in the video. their vinyl doesn't match to and you will be left with big wrinkles and big bubbles that won't go away even after time. Don't waste your money and do a search for trouble or problems with ACC and you will find what i did with so many saying the same think that I experienced. Hopefully you get the warning before you have purchased and can't get your money back.
