Is there a drain plug I can pull on the passenger side of the tub without having to remove the carpet? I have a leak somewhere over there and would like the water to just drain out until I can get in there to actually find where the water is coming from.

 

The plugs for the passenger side are underneath the carpet and you have to move it someway to get to them. I would remove the carpet and plug until you stop the leak because if you don't the carpet will hold the water and smell like mildew.

 

Yes, there are 2 plugs in the footwell area and another under the seat.

 

Can I remove the carpet without having to remove the seats and center console, or is it a big pain in the ass?

 

Yes you can. It's not too bad, 30 minutes or so.

 

You can access the drain plugs without removing the carpet, but as has already been said, it's probably a good idea to remove the carpet entirely until you fix the leak. Of course, it's a jeep, so there's always going to be some sort of leak. Pulling the carpet is really easy- no seat or console removal required. Don't know how easy it is to get back in though. I've been without carpet for three years now with no issues other than warm feet during the summer on long rides.
