I bought some carpet from a trimmer and fitted it myself. It is not easy but not too bad with the roof down! :P

hello mate, ive fitted a 3 door carpet to my cab, bit of a bitch to do and some trimming is required as the side cills are deeper in the cab and where the rear interior quarter pannels meet the carpet will need re-shaping. also the drivers side kick plate/pad needs shaving. with a little time and effort the end result is good.

good luck.
