When i first got my jeep i bought the oem rubber mats and was happy enough. did notice that shoes would sit above the upper edge of the mats on the passenger side getting the carpet dirty. so after reading about choices on here i went with weather tech for the front.

in my case, big disappointment.

there is no way for the mats to be secrured to the hold down do hickey and so they would slide alittle. they just felt thin and cheap. sent them back.

ordered the rugged ridge and i could not be any happier.

they are thick rubber. have built in secure holes that are quite tight and should not let fluids past, and they fit like a glove...

plus they look really hardcore!!!

rugged ridge for the win!!!

123$

ordered the cargo one too and that's another 60$ so $180 for ALL the mats. Front, rear, cargo.

Got from amazon, with my prime account so free shipping.

Well weathertech are way more expensive yet in my case are inferior. The fronts alone were $120. That's why I shipped them back. For 120$ for just the fronts they better be perfect and they are not. Not for my 2013 at least.

I got the Rugged Ridge mats and they're extremely high quality and look really great! IMO they really add an extra sense of ruggedness to the Jeep's interior.

Is that price for the molded ones or the regular ones?

I ask because the best I've seen on the actual molded, tray-like RR ones is around $80US.

I've seen the generic mat ones by RR at $49.

I've been using a good general mat but my issue is I'm in and out so often that I rub off or knock off the top of the lugs where my foot first goes in and then enough moisture seeps in through those holes to dampen my carpet.

When it dries its all stiff and "salty" looking too.
so I'd like to try the tray molded ones and it sounds like RR might be my best bet...I guess I have to look at them as a consumable supply item given my driving habits. My contract isn't long for this world, we are down to 3 of us, from 7, as they computerize stuff. So it may be a moot point soon.

Metaxa,


That is for the very thick, molded ones as shown above. You will not wear through these.

Hmmmmm...I cannot paste a direct link, so Google Amazon Rugged Ridge 12920.30 Black All Terrain Front Floor Liner - Pair

I don't know how this works out for Canadians.

Edit: Bummer, it does look like Amazon Canada is $80.

If you manage to wear through the Rugged Ridge mats then you'll surely surprise me!

+1 Rugged Ridge

I had the husky's and while they're good, my issue was with the snow and slush melting and then freezing.

Getting in the car was like skating sometimes....

I figured a groin injury was in my future.....so I got the rugged ridge and never looked back.

I prefer the weathertec, but not the standard ones. I got the Digital ones, and they use the factory floor mat hook.

I'm heading to the Weathertech store in Bollingbrook Saturday to get the front and rear set for my 2014. I've had them in past cars and love them.

Well I picked up my Weather Tech mats for the Jeep today. I did the front and rears. They fit so dam perfect. Couldn't be happier with them. I have the dark slate interior so I went with the gray color. It has a nice contrast with the interior.

Got the Weathertech Digi mats for both the jeeps. The rears are a bit small but turn way up in the front and the fronts do slip a tad (not a ton) when sliding in and out now. Not a big deal. The thing I do like....and I've proven it in my Pat, is the fronts, rears and the cargo mat hold a LOT of liquid! Had a dang good portion of a half gallon of vodka leak out on the drive back from the grocery store (tragic alcohol abuse) and the carpet didn't get wet thanks to the cargo liner.
Funny thing was I kept checking my hand sanitizer bottle up front when I smelled it.

Got the weathertech digital fit front and back liners along with the in channel window visors and hood deflector. Have nothing to compare them to as these are the first ones I've purchased for my Patriot. The fact that I am 20 minutes away from their store in Bolingbrook kind of made the decision for me (no shipping costs). The 25% LE discount didn't hurt either ;) That being said, I would still recommend them to anyone. They fit perfectly and look great.
