Just no 4xe I think.

Now just need cargo area....

WHOA! Let’s not get greedy! It takes a couple years to develop something like that. And even from announcement that it’s coming it’s still a year or so till you see it. Isn’t that how it works!?

I added this to my build when I ordered in November just to see what it would be like. I thought it was going to encompass the full vehicle and it seems now it doesn't include the cargo area. To me advertising an additional cost for vinyl flooring and then having some carpet would be false advertising. On the site it also says includes rear cargo area dress up, I wonder what this could be? If I could go back I would definitely not select this option again as the cost is too much for what it is and possibly doesn't cover the whole interior. Also my build is taking significantly longer in production because this option is installed at the Mopar Custom Shop.

Vinyl seats in summer will be fun.

I’ve been eyeballing the Armorlite system (had in my cart but yet to purchase).

Seems the MOPAR flooring system is cheaper by a few bucks.

Products look identical, I wonder if they are indeed the same

EDIT: Nevermind, shipping from MOPAR is $200 lol

For 2door guys check out BedRug. They've been making Rug and Tred liners for years. Also a 4 door liner kit that included the trunk is something like $350

Vinyl seats in a convertible? Uh thanks but no thanks. I’ll keep my cloth, or give me some of that neoprene/wetsuit type material. Vinyl will be uncomfortable as sh*t. That’s a major reason I don’t want a Bronco, it’s vinyl or leather only IIRC.

Bronco has cloth on base, Big Bend some Outer Banks. Black Diamond, or Badlands - vinyl or leather only. So dumb.

JL is in it's 6th year of production and this just now occurred to them? Just like XR, this is a knee jerk to what Bronco is doing. Not a bad thing per se, but execution will probably have been rushed. And it's also a cash grab.

Not trying to stir up crap, but why are they using the word "innovative" about offerings that Ford has been putting on the Bronco for two years?

The thoughts about the vinyl getting hot are correct - lots of comments from the B6G group about their MGV seats getting ripping hot in the sun. I always had to cover my center console in my JKs and JL with a towel when I was parked topless or I'd scorch my right forearm when getting back in. I can't imagine one of my boys accidentally sneaking out of loose shorts and resting on a vinyl seat on a 100+ day.

@brewski is right about the Bedrug option for the 2 doors. I had a Bedrug in the back of my '00 Lightning and it was really well made and fit extremely well. Nothing would soak in - gas, oil, etc. just came right off with a little Simple Green and water. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a bedlined '97 TJ my buddy is selling and I've already decided on covering it with the Bedrug product instead of re-installing carpet.

I went cheap when I ordered my 1997 TJ and took the vinyl seats. Now they want $1000 extra for crap vinyl seats. Between summers and winters the seats all cracked over the years. Ended up with Neoprene covers in that Jeep. Always cloth since then.

Vinyl seats are what us poor folks had in cars growing up.

Vinyl seats.

My JLU is the first convertible I've owned with cloth seats. The rest had vinyl seating; all but one having black vinyl. Yes, they can get warm in the sun (and it shines just as brightly in Pennsylvania as it does elsewhere ), but not so much in my experience that I'd reflexively dismiss the option out of hand. The provenance of the brand makes it easy to argue that Jeeps should have vinyl interiors -- seats + flooring -- available for them.

Yes, this is an overdue cash grab, but it's also a welcome corrective IMO.

Now all they need to do is come up with a problem to go with these new solutions.
Last I checked you take the doors and top off in the Spring along with the plugs and put them all back on in the Fall without much issue in between with what we already have
Unsure the issue unless someone just "imagined" a problem

The carpets and seats clean easy already and dry very very fast

 

[XX4XEXX]

I don't see this to be worth the $$$ at all. I'd just spray line x like we have before.

Vinyl seats baking in the hot sun sounds like a great time. Sign me up.
