Rhino Line?

Rickl3 · 10-06-2008, 02:29 AM

I'm in the process of getting a '04 xB and was wondering for my first project would it be sick to take out the carpet/lining and rhino line all of the sucker? I have been really wanting to do it to a vehicle for some time.

thoughts/opinions welcome.

great site!

you would never have to clean your carpets!! maybe good idea if your in iowa or some where where there is snow rain and mud!!

Im in idaho, near mountain and it rains/snows alot. i was thinking bout pulling up the carpets and putting a plastic cover down? and rhino lineing that.. na meen? And then just make it a theme by doing the dash/ wheel/ EVERYTHING that can would be rhino lined.

this would be really good for sound damping. So if you end up not liking it, you can just pilut the carpets back in, and have a quieter ride, and warmer in the winter. May also be proven to make the floor pans last 10 years down the road when rust starts to show.

Did this to a Jeep wrangler 10 years ago...... also has been done to the exterior from the windows down of a box already.

Go for it...

Yeah he was at Exposed.

I don't think I have a pic of it, but I know Cody does.

might have to bite your style dude, thats a very very functional idea!

Rickl3 · 10-06-2008, 03:45 PM

pm it to me?

hehe.. hey if you do this idea ill take all 4 of your floor mats off your hands ^^

fullmetal88 · 10-06-2008, 04:33 PM

bad color combo....

859Toaster · 10-07-2008, 10:11 PM

Its not really that bad. Looks better in person, but its hard to photograph it.

At least rock chips and scratches aren't a issue. lol

fullmetal88 · 10-08-2008, 05:56 PM

well i needto do the math cause i think rhino lining the floor is a great idea, the local line-x place is $7 per square foot of material and $50 an hr. this is definatly something i would invest in, in my box especially for some sound damping

Rickl3 · 10-08-2008, 09:34 PM

I might do inside and out....

haha try and key my car! hah

**ogerdgonz** · 10-08-2008, 11:12 PM

I have seen the car in person..... remember it adds a lot of weight to the car

Rickl3 · 10-08-2008, 11:30 PM

How many pounds would you think?

SunnyxB · 10-09-2008, 05:57 AM

im about to start the sound deadening process on mine with doors and the hatch. I have a friend who is trying to convince me to rhino line the floor too. I just dont think im ready to take that much of a leap.

I've seen a few responses on here stating, just inside, inside and out etc.

Depending on the size of the truck bed, you are looking at a gain of 45 and 65 lbs. An average small truck(51sq ft) to get ~1/8in thick coverage takes ~3-5 gal.
Not real sure what thickness is required for sound deadening with that material, but I think it would be thicker than 1/8th of an inch.
Given the massive area inside our cavernous boxes, you probably have more than 50sq ft.
So you're looking at a lot of weight and a lot of money.

This is just from research I did and some friends who have made "tanks" with rhino liner.
