Re-Carpeting my 105 series Landcruiser

[@mmNola]

Thank you for the vid! Nice description of the process. You help me realize it's a doable thing, as opposed to something way to overly challenging. My LC 100 has 278k miles on it. It's due for a good cleaning both on the carpet and under the carpet.

[@jeffreyjohnston6843]

the job looks like it was quite a lot of work, you did a good job. What's with the furry seats LOL, Maby they will be a project too. I see your dad helps you a lot, I had a dad like that. you're really lucky, a lot of guys don't have dads like that. You should always let him know how much you appreciate him. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming I am looking to see what all you do to your vehicle. I am in Florida USA, your accent sounds like your down under.

[@WillsLandcruiser]

I appreciate this comment. He definitely is amazing and I am really lucky to have him around. He got me into cars in the first place. It was a big job but so worth it. As you saw in the video, my old carpet was filthy and it really stunk. The furry seat covers are wool and more for comfort than protection! The interior of the car gets babied, I’m very precious about it 😂 I am from south Australia, always nice to hear from people overseas!

[@coreyfield1927]

Love watching these vids. It's good to see a young bloke so into doing this sort of stuff and take so much pride in doing it. Keep up the good work coba.

[@WillsLandcruiser]

That means a lot cheers 😁

[@lookinglassdca9174]

I'm about to start the exact same job on my 100 series,great tips, and advice and the same window problem.Good job mate and thanks !

[@94Greenbean]

Dang bro! I’m loving the 105 Goodness! And RHD to boot!

[@NKPGarage]

I love how your carpet came out! That look better than factory. Very nice work!!

[@coadyg]

Maybe the old carpet would have been a good template for the new underlay. Thanks for sharing you making great videos.

[@dezdolla]

About to do the 105 with waterproof + vynal mat :) cant wait looks so good bro

[@gupter99]

Thanks Will. You’ve inspired me to buy a full set of carpets for my 100 series. You should see if AllCarCarpets will let you imbed a link into your video so that you can make some commission. Cheers Malcolm

[@MitchPlays254]

Awesome video but what i did in my car is take out the rear row seat clips and bolted my titan draws into them with the stock bolts

[@T25de]

Great seat covers too

Hi will, what is the name of the rubbery material before the carpet?

[@euroviewnzkim6795]

Good job

[@harishrajapitchai5191]

Hi mate, What sorta carpets are they and where do u get them from

[@JimBob-vb8oz]

The only problem you have now is if you need to access the fuel pump cover to change them you can't do it without cutting your underlay.

[@j.saavedra1502]

Good video. Would you describe the material you're using as an underlayment?

[@WillsLandcruiser]

Yes that black stuff is an insulating, waterproof underlay

[@overtro]

Hi from Europe. Nice work. Looks so easy when timelapsed. Gues its a ton of work in realtime. Do the carpet-company sell out of Australia ? Is the carpet you got the thickest and most luxuries they have ?

[@WillsLandcruiser]

Hi there, definitely a lot of work. Probably 2 or 3 solid days in the end. I wouldn’t recommend this carpet company anymore, they left my brother waiting for carpet for over 12 months after he paid for it. Not good. My only regret is I didn’t use any adhesive sound deadening to make it even more comfortable. In hindsight my ideal layout would be adhesive sound deadening, better underlay with a waterproof underneath and carpet on top. Hope this helps

[@overtro]

@@WillsLandcruiser Nice to know thx. Im doing soundproofing also. Think i will flollow your advice. Have already put in the bitumen adhesive sound deadening, so its easy to put a thick underlay. Then i just need to find another carpet manufacture - if the exist :-)

[@WillsLandcruiser]

@@overtro look up “carbuilders” in Victoria. I’m pretty sure they make a lot of carpet kits!

[@killerwinnie66]

awesome job Will keep it up 🤙

[@KJ-js2bj]

Would you please share me where to buy the black seat cover in your Video? Thanks.

[@madcat4563]

Is the the underlay for noise reduction? From were did you buy it? Might one day replace the carpet with vinyl in my 2010 76 series Lx (South African spec) to make it easier to clean and water crossing less of a problem if water gets in.

[@WillsLandcruiser]

I got the carpet and underlay bundle from All Car Carpets, which are based near Melbourne. The underlay is for noise reduction, comfort and I believe it’s meant to be waterproof. Yeah I see a lot of people going for vinyl and that’s a great idea for 4WDing like that, but this time I was aiming for more of a comfortable “touring” vibe

[@madcat4563]

@@WillsLandcruiser Thank you for the advice.

Hi will, what is the material name of the carpet replacement?

[@felixfuentes9736]

Hey which colour did you go with? The charcoal gray? And loop pile or plush pile i cant really tell

[@WillsLandcruiser]

Pretty sure it was charcoal grey. Whatever looked most like the factory carpet. And it’s loop pile

[@stuartmadden7854]

Hi Will. I have a serious leak in my 105 Landy as well. Not only carpets but roof under the sun visor is wet too. I have taken off the roof rack and resealed all the connections areas. But still leaks. I took it to Toyota and mentioned the windscreen they advised it was not the windscreen but most likely the roof rack. (TBH they spent about 30 seconds looking and did not even open the door, very disappointing) How did you confirm it was the windscreen? I am considering taking off the ceiling panel this weekend to check.

[@WillsLandcruiser]

If there are rust bubbles on the top seal of your windscreen, you can almost guarantee that’s where the water is entering. I know it sounds counter-productive, but if you’re really not sure you could run a hose over the area you suspect there is a leak, and then try and see if the carpet in the footwell gets any damper. I have another video on how I kind of diagnosed the leak on my channel

[@stuartmadden7854]

@@WillsLandcruiser thanks Will. I can’t see the diagnose leaks video. Can you add a link? I have taken out the carpet and still trying to find exactly where the water is coming in. Smell so much better. Also getting a quote to reseal the windscreen. Thanks for your help

[@WillsLandcruiser]

@@stuartmadden7854 yes try this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmrYYWtnZ9mIo9k Hopefully you can find it and get it sealed! Nothing worse than the car smelling like mould every time you get in!

[@sammiew1226]

Hi! Great install👍Which quality of carpet did you use from the supplier - entry level or premium? Loop or cut?

[@WillsLandcruiser]

Cheers mate. It was an executive loop carpet and I got the soundproof and waterproof underlay

[@Mihackers]

I want to recarpet my 77 serie HZJ77HV 1992 any help to get carpet on AliExpress?

[@androkordic1583]

Can you please upload the video on where and how you fixed the water leak in the windscreen.

[@WillsLandcruiser]

I did just the other day mate. Look through some of my more recent videos

[@philk9357]

Meant to also ask, apart from the better smell, have you noticed any sound reduction?

[@WillsLandcruiser]

It’s a very similar sound level. If I had my time again, I would stick down those thin foil sound deadening panels onto the paintwork before placing the other deadening and carpet down. Not to say it’s noisy or anything- but if you really wanted it as quiet as some more modern cars, you could go that step further

[@philk9357]

@@WillsLandcruiser good to know. A lot of work, so may as well maximise ones effort.

[@philk9357]

Nice work. How long did it take you? And what’s under the drivers seat if you’ve got the amp under the passenger seat? I like the plastic chopping board idea underneath to screw into!

[@WillsLandcruiser]

It was probably a weeks work overall. Bit of start/stopping but I’d say give yourself a week of work every day. Under the drivers seat is an amp for the subwoofer, the amp under the passengers seat is for the other speakers

Sam Foster It’s definitely worth it! If it’s leak-related then be sure to fix that first 😂 Damn windscreen on these models...

[@sammyfoster9217]

😂yeah I reckon, I have a leak somewhere in the firewall I’m pretty sure. Quick question, what were you welding when you got the carpet stained? Because I had to weld my console lid back on haha

That’s literally what I was welding too!! I forgot to check the settings on the welder and next thing I knew the bloody carpet was on fire ☹️😂
