    How long did it take? Looks fantastic for the price!

    Wonder if someone could put a free pattern together to make it even easier?

    Took 2 hour to gut and clean the truck,
    Took 1 hour to put that dyno mat down (you don’t need that stuff, I had a big roll left over from years ago so I used it)
    Took 1 hour to put the harbor freight pad down.
    Took probably 6 hours to do floor.

    Someone else with more skills could probably do it faster. I only had experience from doing my house.

    The biggest pain was getting started have to notch and cut the first row in the back of truck cab for the seat belts, and seat holes. Not hard but once you get past that stuff it’s smooth sailing. To get the bolt holes exact, I would just lay the next plank on the bolts sticking up as if I was gonna lay the plank. Put my finger underneath the plank where the bolt was, then put a mark with a sharpy and use a hole saw.

    I wander if that comes with raneys employees to install it and then you have to put them back in a box to send back when they are done. Haha

    Maybe it's a misprint and they really meant to advertise $99.99

    So if you compiled a list of materials to have before you start.... what would it be?

    Flooring
    Dynamat?
    Some anti fatigue matting....

    What am I missing. I’m getting mine done this weekend

    Any type of dyna mat but I don’t think you really need it but I’m sure it would quiet things down a lot over the road. I’m a local hauler with 8” straight pipes. I had dyna mat left over. Anti fatigue mat should be good enough to deaden the sound. But here is my list of materials and all you will need.
    I have day cab. Measure lenght x width to get square footage for your truck if you have sleeper. My truck was close to 24 sq ft.

    Rattle trap if you wish to use
    Fatmat Self-Adhesive RattleTrap Sound Deadener Pack with Instal... Free Shipping | eBay


    Anti fatigue matting from harbor freight.
    Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat Set 4 Pc


    Home Depot traffic master allure laminate plank flooring. ( this is the planking with stick together joints and the planking is flexible and will not crack like all the other plank types)
