Installed Armorlite Flooring System Nov 2023

[Rickstar321]

After I baptized my TJ (Thread LInk) up to the grab handles back in JUL of 2023, I found that the carpet would sour everytime after getting wet... no matter how many times I removed and THOROUGHLY cleaned them. I heard an interview with the founder of Armorlite on the Jeep Talk Show (interview link) and decided I liked the idea of the mildew, heat, and noise resistant properties.

I've had it in the Jeep for almost 2 years now and the reason I'm posting this is because of how impressed I am with the system...
Clean up is amazingly easy and I do a lot of trail riding down in the Arkansas / Missouri Ozarks... and that can get really messy fast. When I have my hard top on, it has the boom mat in it, and with the Armorlite, I can use hands free and talk on the phone and easily hear and be heard. Something I couldn't do before the Armorlite.

And... no matter how much water I get in it... NO sour smell.

This reminds me of an XJ I once owned. It was a former police vehicle and had a rubber floor liner instead of carpet like some industrial purposed pick up trucks have. All 4 floor boards rusted through completely from the top down because water could get under the floor liner and it would never evaporate. I ended up selling it for salvage and replaced it with the TJ I have now. The first thing I did with my TJ was to rip out all of the carpets and sell them.

Unless you live in Arizona, this seems like a bad idea.

I hear the plastic bed liners do that too. I'm nervous to see what's under mine

Got Armorlite flooring in mine and love it. Next Jeep I own it will be the first modification I make.

This isn't just a rubber mat on the floor, it's multi layered, the material next to the floor breathes.. 99% of the water stays on top and goes out the drain holes... the little bit the goes under dries up pretty quickly. I've had my passenger seat out several times and look under it because I wondered the same thing... so far so good.

Other than my veteran discount, I paid full price, and am not sponsored in anyway. I'm just really impressed with how it works.

Dammit Rick, you hooked me.

Ordered the full Armorlite set using the JTS 10% discount. Couldn't help myself when I figured out it's manufactured 2 hours from me.

I've been debating replacing the BedRug in my TJ and carpet in my JK with this.

I second this. I've had mine in for almost a year now and it's been fantastic. Can't wait to get one in the LJ.

I would suggest considering only doing the front though. Depending on how folks have their individual rigs set up, it might even be a hinderance in the rear, if for example, you have or plan to build a storage system for the back. Maybe some simple adhesive sound deadening would be a better way to go. I have the full kit for the JT, and will probably be removing the part in the rear.

A molded section for just the trans tunnel to block noise and heat would be super nice. I prefer to keep the floor pans bare (for reasons stated in an earlier post) with just floor mats. The Rugged Ridge molded floor mats I bought back in 2016 have held up very well, they're basically still like new and they don't trap moisture.
