Thank you all for the replies, will be placing my order shortly.

Had it installed for around one year, no regrets other than not being able to purchase as a factory option to save the diy time and effort. The price is definitely high vs all weather mats / liners but IMO for coverage, insulation value, and industrial look/feel there isn’t a better alternative out there.

I really wish this had been available from factory. I will remedy that problem this weekend.

Happy with mine so far. A bit of wrestling to get it installed. The only things I would change on the design is where it overlaps under the seats - would like a better seal there. Also, where the lugs “poke” through on the driver and passenger side well, I’d like a “cap” to cover the lug. I am planning to work on a design to make via 3D printer to solve that issue. These are nitpicking issues. Glad I installed the @Armorlite_Kail product. Really makes the dog hair easier to clean up too (I have 3 pups that travel in the back of the JT)!

Favorite mod so far... by far. No visible wear, cleans up really easy and is noticeably quieter in the cab with the Armorlite over the stock carpet. Everyone that gets in the rig thinks it is factory it fits so well.

Wouldn't be surprised if Jeep partners with armorlite to make it an oem factory option at some point especially since the Bronco has a similar oem flooring option.

Funny you should say that. Amrorlite is actually making their flooring as a Mopar accessory in the near future. There was a pic that leaked and a few of us noticed it looked very much like Armorlite flooring. They confirmed it. I tried to find the thread with that discussion. No luck.

I would buy this as a factory option if it was available.

I plan on using all weather mats on top of it.....just because I like the look.

I've had it since November about 3000 miles I've never even cleaned it out and it still looks fine. That's even after about 10 Anza Borrego desert trips and a couple to Superstition dunes.

Installed in both our JT and JL. Should be a factor option.
Couldn't get rid of the carpet fast enough.
No issues in JT for almost 2 years or daily driver JL after 18'000 miles.
Installation is a little challenging but nothing you can't do with some grunt and patience. Just be careful taking trim prices off and reinstall. Take your time and have fun. It's what we Jeepers do.
Oh, and pull off some of these off your carpet and use on the Armorlite floor. I sanded the passenger side one to fit the countour of the floor.

It seems like it would take them a long time to dry out if water gets in the insulation layer. Anyone have any experience with this?

No regrets here! 10/10 would recommend.

On the Armorlite site, they recommend removing the flooring to dry if submerged. Sounds like a pain in the butt to me, but I’m not planning on any deep water crossings, so I’m not worrying about it.

In all fairness, you should remove the factory carpet to dry out if submerged as well. Armorlite isn't asking you to do anything you shouldn't be doing if you plan to drive around like a submarine.

I would avoid this. armorlite tells you not to use floor mats. One reason being the installation of armorlite require the removal of the floor mat anchoring posts. floor mats that aren't anchored under the driver could easily slip under a brake pedal or over a gas pedal.

That is true, but I plan on doing what is needed to put the anchor back in.

they tell you not to do it in order to not be legally liable when somebody allows their Mat to squish under the pedals and hinders the brake.
