Armorlite Flooring: Thick, Tough, and Worth It?

In this Jeep Talk Show interview, host Tony sits down with Kale from Aria to talk Armorlite flooring for Jeeps and other vehicles. Kale shares his lifelong obsession with cars, trucks, bikes, and fabrication work before joining the company to grow the aftermarket side and launch Aria Acoustics. They break down how the thick, textured Armorlite system replaces factory carpet with better heat and sound control, easier drying, and a secure fit from TJ through JL and JT models. You'll also hear about colored plugs, drainage ideas, and why this upgrade makes sense early rather than late.
