Winter is here!

What (IYO) is the best slush mat, front and rear to protect your Gladiator carpet. My kids love to track slush, mud, and whatever they can skip through into the JT. What’s the best coverage?

Mopar ones. The only ones I could find that mate up to the drain plug in the floor

Factory optional Slush Mats are too smooth. After the water and slush freezes on them they become a skating rink. After market mats would be a better choice.

I am impatiently waiting for late spring/summer!

You’re right! But the drain option, the fact that it was the only product well adapted for the second row when I bought the set, and the look with the red Jeep™ logo on mine was what I was looking for.

I’m planning a DIY project to "glue" rubber threads in the bottom!!! Something like you can see on competitor's aftermarket product!!!

I haven't found them to be any more slippery than the aftermarket mats. In fact, factory mats would be better for what you describe because you can drain the water out so it doesn't become an ice rink

I have been waiting for someone to come out with mats similar to the JK mats with the tire tracks in the mat. Those were the best imo. I actually have those in the JT right now. They just move around to much in the rear to be completely effective.

The Mopar Topo All Weather Mats are great, snap in tightly, allow for the floor plug to be usable, and cover well up to the seat. We also have the Jeep Weathertech mats (in our Cherokee)... they’re great, but the Mopar mats fit better all round!;{

I'm dig'n the quality of the factory ones. We'll see how they do when its super cold and the start out wet.

I’m not a huge fan of pooling water in slush mats so I’ve just been tossing a towel down to soak up any melted water from my Mopar mats. Next morning I use the remote starter and have the heat blowing on the floor so when I get in, mats are dry again!

Are you not using the drain plug because slush usually means salted roads and you dont want brine water going through your jeep?

Yeah, I live in Vermont...the last thing I'm going to be doing is just let salt water melt and drain through a hole all winter in sub-freezing temps and have to mess with finding some plug next spring. I click my boots off before getting in my car every time out of habit but I just don't see myself messing with the drain.

And the mice love having that easy entrance!

I live in NEPA. Getting first snow storm tomorrow. I have the slush mats. I plan on pulling out the drain plug as needed and putting it back when not needed. I plan on ordering a few extra plugs to toss in glovebox
