You're judging bacon? Has it come to this?

:alien: :whistle:
I enjoy bacon, I just don’t enjoy it on donuts, ice cream and whatever else Americans choose to add it too lol.

Plenty of solutions that you can add on to the Molle rack on the seat backs, at least in a pinch. I'm like others...no cups allowed. Bottles only if you are in the back. Sorry my rig my rules.

On the rubber floor topic, I think it will dampen sound reasonably well. Interior sound might be reflected back but that is not where high levels of sound come from except the speakers. Road noise will come through but shouldn't be much different than carpet with its backing. My FJCruiser had a rubberized floor and it was as quiet as my son's 4Runner with carpet. Far better than my CJ7's bare metal floor and probably a lot cooler.

If the rubber floor is too "loud" for you . . . you're really not going to like it when you take the doors and roof off!
I doubt you know what I’ll like and not like. I’ve had multiple Jeep’s with mud terrains and frequently I, however, want to be able to drive in the interstate and carry on a conversation without screaming. I don’t plan on getting her taking a hose to my interior, so washout floors are not necessary and if they make the interior significantly less comfortable then I don’t want them.

My solution: Take out rear seats

"Sorry, we'll have to take your car."

Given that in at least one KOH video they were in a BL with the rubberized flooring, with no roof, traveling at 70mph, off-road, and still able to easily carry on a conversation, I doubt you'll have a problem.

If you have wash out floors, then you do not need additional cup holders.
Just put them on the floor and if they spill, who cares?
:cool:
Egg f-ing @Zach@Grangerly!

It's a full wash-out interior.... How many times have you been on a sports boat (or pontoon boat if you're the discerning captain with a handle of Jack), and somebody started bitching and moaning about there being moisture on the seats or deck?

At this point I do want to point out to the OP that the consensus answer Bronco7G has been proposing on their forum is to grab one of these and gently open a spot in the floor that will fit your cup of choice.

And the bonus is that you don't need to make any "rest stops" any more... 😁

At best "Mop out floor", flooding for "Wash out floor" is ill advised.

FJ Cruiser has rubber floor with MTRs, and noisy. Speaker phone is near useless. Carpet with more padding would help a bit and get nasty quick. Cloth interior with carpet only flooring, ceiling liner, 200lbs of sound deadening rubber would be the most noise abatement and you would still hear the MTRs howl.

I have come to the conclusion the only thing Americans worry about more than if their meal can have bacon on it, is cup holders. Bacon and cup holders.
Every car should come with at least four bacon holders.

I take it from the relative silence on the topic that there isn’t any new info on sound deadening for the rubber floors. Either that or everyone really just wanted to post cup holders memes. 😄
There was a post a month or so ago about the "additional sound deadening" that you get with the High package. That was confirmed to be on the engine side of the firewall and around the battery (because apparently batteries can be noisy).

Not that the above answers the question of will my wash out floor be noisier than a carpeted floor?
