Dumping ground for offroad Trailblazer or Envoy general discussion.

If the guys on TBSSOwners are to be believed in their weight discussion, losing all the carpet frees up 80lbs. I know that just removing the rear carpet was pretty heavy, wish I weighted it. I know for a fact our rear leather seats weight 175lbs, those we weighted, and it seems to fit with the claim that all of the seats weigh a total of 300 lbs.

If weight reduction matters to anyone.

Oh Mike, yeah with a kid now, I might get those. Thinking of future sippy cup spills, or maybe I should just remove all the carpet anyways, lol.

You want to get the sippy cups that have a valve that the child has to suck the liquid through. So dropping it only produces a very tiny drip if really any. Every brand has different way of doing but here is example. Image

Edit: I can't believe I just gave a parenting tip in this thread. :facepalm: Then again with no carpet and bed lined you can just take holes to any mishaps. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I pulled(cut) my carpet off the floor pans. No rust. A drain on the drivers side for something. ALOT of foot room freed up wich was nice. The carpet and foam and padding was totally saturated. Its not that ugly.

I pulled all my carpet out and rolled some bed liner down. I got Weathertech front mats. Without the carpet they do not fit well at all. Almost to the point of wanting to sell them and just find a universal floor mat that fits better.

Glad I did not run off and tear out my carpet and buy weathertech floor mats.

I wish I had gotten the ambition earlier to pull the rug. Just didnt think about the space the rug took up around the mats.
