Default Floor Liners/Mats

After reading through several threads about floor mat/liner options, I'm interested to learn what choices seem to be holding up well down the road. What is the longest someone has had a particular set and has that set maintained well?

It seemed to me that many people went with Husky? For those of you that have, what has your experience been?

My family is on my case about Christmas gifts, and this was one I thought of, thus my interest.

Joyeux Noel!!

Got a full set of the Mopar slush mats back in Oct. 06 when I got the JK for the wife.
Although some have posted how bad they were, ours have held up quite well.
In addition got her the Quadratec diamond tread for the rear cargo area about 1 year+ ago, and it's holding up quite well also.

Try the search function... I did and I learned a ton about what mats to buy and how happy people have been with them over time. I learned the Husky's tend to dry up and shrivel like an old sac and that people who paid the extra for WeatherTechs were very happy short and long term. I in turn ordered WeatherTech fronts and the rear cargo liner (didn't bother with rear mats as I seldom have passengers). Although the cost was more for teh WeatherTechs I am very happy with the quality, fit and durability of them. It gets quite cold here and they seem to stay flexible.

Thanks everyone. I tried searching a lot, too, but didn't get the same consensus as you did. I'm pretty sure that's a function of my searching though. Thanks for the patience and advice. I'll ch-ch-check the weather tech.

Husky liners are what I am going with. They hold up well and look great, plus I like that there are no holes, to clip in and get water or dirt through. You can literally pick them up and dump them out. Saw them in person and it made up my mind. I was also considering WeatherTech.

No matter what you go with, over time, they won't fit as well as when you get them...but the Huskys are awesome

i got the husky liners and they work great. word of advise would be to wait until the watery slush freezes then take them out and bang off the slop. i was so happy to see 1" of water in them the first time they got put to use, i felt under them and wow all dry, then i tried to take them out to dump the water and pretty much dumped all the water on the brand new carpet.

I ran Husky's in my Tahoe for several years and they held up pretty good, the only gripe that I had with them was that they got brittle after some time and didn't fit or look the same. They still got the job done though. On my JK I went with the Q-tec floor mats for the front back and cargo They're really decent quality and I'm hoping to see how they hold up over the Winter thats coming soon.

Had my Huskys in for a year and a half. I like them because they are super light and tough. THey have a "bump" in them to go over the stock mat retainer instead of a hole to allow water and mud in on the stock mat. I have the whole set. Fronts, backs and the cargo mat. I wouldn't hesitate throwin a motor in the back....in fact, I have. an entire disassembled Chevy 454. They work great.
