Topic: toyota sticky insulation sucks!!!

[85yotabox]

well the carpet in my truck was getting pretty thrashed and grose so figured i would just take it out and bed liner the whole inside. The problem is the insulation they put on in the factory is a goopy nasty mess. dose anyone know of a trick to gat this out? or somthing i can put over it?

some people jsut put the bedliner on top of it, i have also heard you can freeze it with dry ice and chip it away in chunks

 I read some where on here that the bed liner reacts with the insulation causing a foamy mess.

dont need to freeze it to get it off. hammer and chisel. start at an edge & work a few inches from the edge out towards the edges. comes up in chunks. IIRC I did my entire floor when it was 80* plus outside

if it comes up easy, it NEEDS to come up,  if you cant get it off,  leave it and  put the bedliner over it

chances are it will come up easy

good point. the only reason I removed mine is cause I dont use carpet and as you know when it gets warm its a sticky mess. its there for a reason go over it if it doesnt need to come out!

cheaper alternative to taking a rig in somewhere to have lined is Dynatron undercoating http://www.3m.com/US/auto_marine_aero/Bondo/catalog_item89f4-2.html?itemNbr=677
what I use and it is the (oops better say poopoo)

I was told by a shop that sprays bedliner that if it's a hot application type of coating (some are cold spray, some are hot), then you can't spray over that tar insulation. It'll heat it up and the spray will react with it, and probably won't stick. 

I'm not looking forward to removing that crap when the time comes.
