I did, the post was short enough it just went into the insulation and you can't even tell where it was.

Old thread bump. Got the floor in until rain got me this evening. Will reinstall trim pieces in the morning. As I have time to ask now, what did everyone do with the rear center seat belt trim? The floor sits up so high you can't screw that piece around the buckles back down. Am I missing something, as the plan is to just trim it down tomorrow.

I plan to have the seats in and out fairly often (removable seat delete for trips with dogs) so I left out everything that didn’t absolutely need to go back in. That trim piece was one

One tip not mentioned is to sit the armorlite out in the sun before install to make it more pliable.

I did mine today and was able to get the floor to go under that piece fairly easily.

Shoutout to all the folks here and on Facebook that gave install tips to help out. I did my install today and it was 2.5-3 hours from taking the first tool out until everything was done and put away. Just some observations/info from my install:

1. Take the front seats and and trim along the floor area out, it makes life much easier.
2. If you’re able to, place the Armorlite pieces out in the sun while you’re taking the old stuff out. It makes it much more pliable and easy to work with.
3. Having a trim tool makes getting the flooring under the rear cab trim panels and such much easier.
4. Loosen the bolt the jack slides under a turn or 2 and it will fit under it again like factory
5. My order was to do the fronts first, then the rear. I think Armorlite shows the other way for some reason, but I found it much easier this way.
