pharouh Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 720 carpet kit fits with just a little trimming. Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wow. Thank you for that pic. I have heard that it did with the trimming, but had not seen on installed. Guess I will have to get one for the 521 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 That kit looks really nice. If I don't do a POR15 + Texture floor I will look into new carpet :) Quote Link to comment

pharouh Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 pharoahs looks good. the 720 carpet into my 620 took A LOT of trimming and kinda looks like shit aha I mostly had to trim the sides and the seat mounting brace.I glued it down (3M spray adhesive)as I went,starting in the middle by the shifter. I bought a King Cab kit so I had enough to do under the seat and up to the back wall. Just enough left over to do the kick panels. :w00t: I used a sharp X-Acto knife with a #11 blade for trimming. Worked a lot better than a razor blade or utility knife. For me anyway. If you use an X-Acto knife-BE CAREFUL. They are basically a scalpel and will cut you REAL easily. I build models,so I've used one for years. Just a word of warning.. Quote Link to comment

AZhitman Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 pharouh, which kit did you purchase? Was it from JC Whitney or the one from stock-interiors? Quote Link to comment

AZhitman Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just ordered one through george@aardvarkmotors.com. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment
sick620 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I think its probably just worth it to cruise your truck down to a reasonable upholster shop... cant cost much more than 150 and it would be PERFECT, in this economy nobody is coming in and they need the work at the shops.

Siqx20 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Keeping a eye on this thread. Like the 10 other 620 carpet threads Quote Link to comment
nevtony Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 www.stockinteriors.com have 720 kits that will fit 620 with a little triming check it out Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've bought from them before, twice. Had issues with both carpets. I just got my carpet from aardvarkmotors.com, arrived super-quick. Looks good. I've got it laying out in the sun to "relax" for a few days, until I get the sound deadening finished in the truck. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Update: Got my carpet kit from http://myworld.ebay.com/aardvarkmotors_com - Super-fast shipping, and the kit looks great. For a carpet kit that was designed for a 720, it fit very well in my 620 with minimal work. A little trimming and a couple releif cuts were required, but it's a WAY better quality than some of the stuff I've seen. Overall, very happy with the purchase (and the price!) I'll post up pics as soon as I dig out from the mountain of emails I have.... Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I used 3 pieces cut from carpet material. Under foot + center tunnel. Works fine. Just need to attach the center one to the tunnel. Two underfoor ones are held in place by stock plastik thingis that held on the rubber mat. center in other ones in Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Can't wait! I wish I had put some in mine, would have made a huge difference :) Quote Link to comment
JAKE719 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Anyone see the reviews for the carpets in the JCW link? Prettymuch EVERY one says they fit like poo and had crap quality. Anyone ever actually gotten a 620 set from them? Quote Link to comment

Anyone ever actually gotten a 620 set from them? Yeah, I read those. No way would I buy after reviews like that. Quote Link to comment
