What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

Why not just rip out the carpets? they are removable. Then they can’t get dirty.

I wish the JT/JL was offered with rubber floor mats like work-tiered pickups are offered with. Carpet in the floor in any vehicle is just a dirt sponge.

Agreed. It’s hard to believe that after all these years of people pulling carpet out of Jeeps that there isn’t a -$250 carpet delete option. Even better would be a linex’d tub option...

I’d be all over a linex floor!

First thing I do after buying a new Jeep is pull the carpets, planning to line-x very soon.

Post some pics when your done! I currently have the slush mats which seem like they’ll do pretty well. The drain plugs look to be a great feature. We haven’t had much snow here this winter so I haven’t had the chance to try them out.

I think you’ve just stated it backwards, very historically jeeps had no carpets, they became a luxury add on during the later cj5/7, and were still an option in YJ packages.

The base TJ was the last, I think before 2000-2001, that carpet was an option. The center console was also optional, it came with just a rubber boot over the e-brake handle.

The general public expects carpets in their vehicles now. Why you’d want a rug in a Jeep/truck you get in with muddy shoes, I don’t know. Why do they supply carpet floor mats? Oh they look good until you put your feet in the first tine, but do they protect anything?

True, but this is a 60k vehicle. I do like having some creature comforts, and it cuts down on the road noise. I spend 2 hrs a day in the thing, after all.

I had an FJ Cruiser several years back and I loved the rubber floor it came with. It was so easy to keep clean. Would be great in a Jeep. Hey @JeepCares , are you listening?

Got some Mopar floor mats. Ready for my offroading weekend. Didnt want dirty carpet floor mats

Did you paint your dead pedal or did it come in red?

I completely understand and agree. My point is that it would be a much easier sell for FCA to sell a delete option than it would be making carpet and additional cost option. I would guess that 80% or more people would still want carpet for the creature comforts. Everything about a Jeep is a cost/benefit analysis and to me, if people are buying manual windows and door locks in 2020 there would also be people who opt for no carpet, even if a linex'd tub isn't an option.

Added a little color and the short antenna.

Go with a hose out interior like the Honda Element came with, with the carpet mats. Then you wouldn’t need the slush mats. Just pull out the carpet mats when necessary.

Made the hood vents real.

Stubby antenna installed!

Made the hood vents real.
