2001 Ford F150 Custom Carpet - Quiet Beauty

Things got started by pulling out the front kick panels, doorsill covers, and B-pillar plastic panels to gain access to the carpeted floor. A 15mm socket was used to free up the bolt retaining the seatbelt. This allowed the B-pillar to be pulled.

We then removed the seats. In order to do this, a T-55 Torx bit was used to remove the bolts holding the front seats to the floor and a 13mm socket in the rear. Then, the seats were lifted out of the truck.

We were careful when removing the MTX amps and Streetwires cables. Each RCA and speaker wire was labeled to make reconnecting the amps much easier. Next, all of the wires were stuffed under the carpet to prevent any damage.

It was then just a matter of pulling out the old, worn, stained carpet and placing it into a dumpster.

Getting to the bare floor meant we had several options to choose from, and there is no better place to finish off an interior than to upgrade the carpet.

To make our 8-year-old truck vault quiet, we decided to cover the interior in Hushmat sound-damping material. This stuff is great and literally just peels and sticks. Easy.

With the old carpet gone for good, we used an air hose to blow out any loose debris, then began to apply the Hushmat directly to the floor. Starting in the front, we made our way towards the back, until the entire floor was covered in the sound-deadening material.

After filling in the cracks to make a uniform floor, we moved to the door panels and covered them, as well. Now the door has the weighted "thump" we always wanted when closing the door.
