For rubber, Mopar (if you have leather) or Husky (if you have cloth). Otherwise, size to fit any brand's generic one. Those are pretty much all your options right now until more hit the market.

I'm not familiar with the Husky one. I own and use the Mopar one.

There are good comments on this site about the Mopar one as well as good YouTube video's on its installation, which includes mats to cover the back of the back seats, so that when they are lowered, the carpeting on the their back is protected as well.

(BTW I have cloth seats, I'm not sure why Chowbaby felt the Husky ones better with cloth seats but suspect that has to do with my ignorance of Chowbaby's feelings here.)

In order for the mats to stay on the back of the back seats a series of grommets that are behind the carpeting on the back seats are accessed permanently by punching through the carpeting with a knife.

It's not some sort of cluge or anything, just the way FCA designed it.

I wasn't ready to take that plunge (pun) so I glued the hooks side of Velcro onto the backs of the portion of the mats that go on the back of the back seats to keep them on the back of the back seats when those seats are elevated.

I recommend them. I know they will make cleaning my rig and preserving its insides as I haul all sorts of dirty stuff much easier. I think the MOPAR ones are well designed, high quality even having holes where the rig's drain holes are.

my "3 cents."

Good review. Don't have anything against the mopar ones, just think they are geared more towards leather seats since it comes with a mat for the gap cover. I came very close to pulling the trigger on the mopar ones but I wanted a more "tray" style one for the cargo area (like the quadratec one I had for my jk). As of now, the husky one only fits cloth seats with no subwoofer so it hits all marks for me.

Edit: Just saw the thread about mopar now releasing the trunk mat for cloth seats (i.e. no trench cover) so disregard my first post!

This is perfect. I like the Husky liner but it's still only available for JL models without a subwoofer. I guess I'll wait until they come out with one for the subwoofer models. Can't believe nobody else has this. It's such a simple and inexpensive product to bring to market.

I really like the looks of this one. Here is my question.

I have a 2-door and like to keep the back seat folded up to have the bigger cargo area. Is there a liner like this one that will fit with the seat folder up (i.e. this looks like the seat needs to be removed for it to fit).

I have the Husky liner for the subwoofer and it fits like a glove. I like the tub-lkke edge created when the gate it closed.

So with this you cannot use the six tie down hooks in the trunk? Seems like it requires you to make the holes. Not a biggie with an exacto-blade but was curious.

Oh I thought it was a liner that went around the sub that is built into the floor. I now see you have the sub mounted on the side.

Has anyone cut out the tie downs with the Husky mat? Do the squares on the Husky mat match up? Was just wondering, before ordering, now that the sub option is available.
