I bought Vinyl flooring (tan) by the yard from stockinteriors.com and will cut out a pattern to fit myself. Maybe the best way, not much in the aftermarket from what I could see for our Scramblers. I'll post some pics once the jeep is back from paint/body

I bought a 4' x 6' rubber horse stall mat that is 3/4" thick from my local tractor supply. Measured it for fit, cut it with a retractable utility knife and had held up amazing. Durable enough to come with a 10 year warranty.

I don't. Within the last year I put a rear seat in and took out the mat. The horse stable mat worked out great though. When my full length soft top was on, it helped to reduce the interior noise level, gave my dog a more comfortable(level) place to ride, protected the bed from getting beat up anytime I carried cargo. It was super simple to cut with a blade but unbelievably durable, as am sure you can imagine since it's designed to take repeated horse hoof impacts for years on end. It's also pretty cheap so if you screw it up, nothing is really lost.

I had an old bed mat from a work truck Chevy Silverado. I just cut it to fit. It worked great. It covered my not so good looking bed, gave me a bit of cushion when I would crawl around the bed, kept things from sliding around as much, and it was pretty cheap!

Cool. The only thing i'll add is that even though it is doable with one person it's a whole lot easier with with two people to pick it up and move it around. Imagine picking up a piece of plywood that is easily twice the weight of a normal piece of plywood and is also floppy. It just gets hard to manage when picking it up by yourself. That being said once you get it cut down to shape and put in, it's not going anywhere.
Let me know what you think once you get it installed. I think you'll be very pleased.

Did you ever get this done? If so how are you liking it?
I did use the horse mat. At TSC it comes in rolls so you can get any length, and there are 2 thicknesses. I got the 1/4" which is plenty heavy, laid it out on my garage floor and used a drywall square and made a nice fit. It's really heavy duty and won't blow in the wind. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I use pallet rubbers ...no joke. Rigs with enclosed trailers will place them under pallets so they do not move around in transport. Pond liners work also.
I know it will be difficult for a few of you to stay on topic.....
I am sweating it is so hard not to swerve off topic here...
