The fronts side front to back, not side to side... My wife has a hard time getting in the Jeep with these mats, because they move as she is trying to get in. So far, I am keeping the mats because I paid good money for them, but I wonder if there is a "safety" exposure here. I am no expert and don't know what to do with them.
I am surprised Quadratech would not only sell these, but actually put their name on it.

Got the same floor mats and love them. Worth the price! I got a 2.5 budget boost from rough country without the shocks. Wish the kit came with the rear track bar bracket. The rear end sits about 1/4 or so to the pass side. So had to spend 35$ on the teraflex bracket. Best money I spent is the "IN" channel wind deflectors for the windows. Kills the wind down by a lot when you are driving and have the window down. Plus I smoke and when its raining and I roll down the window water isn't dripping in! Put the clear bra on the front and the hood part fit good but tried the gill part and i ended up throwing it away after like 30 min of trying. Black door handle disk for the outside- good idea but the rear pass side fell off after 3 months and i cant find it. So I took the trunk one off and replaced it with a shit ton more double sided tape this time.

I'm starting to regret my 2.5 Teraflex coil lift. As I start to look at bumpers and winches I'm not looking forward to the loss in height. Besides, every time I walk into the garage my Jeep seems to be shrinking.
I have some 1" spacers on the way for now, but the 3" springs will probably be in my future.

Smitty built rear bumper and tier carrier. Im on my 3rd one. The post that holds the tier carrier to the bumper has been welded crooked on two and the third one is in route. It has taken two people to latch the tier carrier. Thus i cant get in the back of my jk unless i go over the back seat

So, this is my second post on this thread. 
I just did the "shorty antenna mod", and let me tell you - I'm not impressed. I wanted a shorter antenna because the factory one liked to tapdance on my KC windshield lights. That *tink*tink*tink*tink* gets old REAL quick! So, I got my new black 8" antenna from a link I saw in the Forum (shortyantennasource.com). NO complaints with the company in and of itself; it looks pretty sweet, and it solved my *tink* problem. The only bad thing is that when you cut your antenna in half, you can expect to cut your signal / reception in half as well. It works fairly well while I'm bombing around in town, but once I start to trek out into the boonies or up into mountainous / hilly terrain, it fades pretty bad, even though the longer, factory antenna still worked in said areas. Oh well... what can ya do?? I've seen where some guys will weave the factory antenna through their KC stone guard covers, but that doesn't work with mine, as I'm running the solid black smiley covers. If you're a big iPod user (like I am most of the time), then I guess it really doesn't matter.

Never listen to the radio anymore!
So problem solved! For me.

Really? I've been looking at the RR XHD bumper as I thought it was getting a lot of good reviews. Is this not the case?

These are one of my 'wished I hadn't bought' items. They look really nice but the coverage isn't very good and the rear tries to fly away with the doors off.
