Default Newbie questions

Hello everyone,

I sold my CJ5 and picked up a 2007 Rubicon which I must say is a hell of alot more comfortable.

I will be upgrading very slowly due to funds and I rather have opinions of those of you that have gone through the "learning curve".

1st....got to get rid off these flimsy mats that came standard, what are good quality and good looking all season mats for front & rear?

2nd....head lights and fog lights suck for illumination at night. What do you suggest for replacement?

Thanks, I am certain I will have many other questions as I squirrel away funds.

I have the Mopar Jeep thread mats and love them.

I like the Silver stars for bulbs, but a lot of guys like the PIAA replacements. I liked my CJ5, but love my JK!

A lot of feedback is coming, but welcome to the Forum!

For flooring I went with the quadratec floor mats. I'm still thinking about just tearing the carpet out though and just bedlining the whole thing but we'll see. As for the lights, I have KC long range slim lights on the windshield and KC fogs on an aftearket light bar.

For floor mats I've always been a big fan of husky liners - great fit and easy to clean/empty. I've seen the quadratec/rugged ridge ones (they look to be the same) on friends jeeps. They have a really deep tread on them and they're really nice as well.

As for lights I have a HID upgrade with an H4 hella reflector lense (stock on euro JK's) which I really love. I chose a white bulb (none of that blue tint). I aimed them down a bit and the difference is fantastic without seeming to annoy anyone.

I've got the Quadratec floor Front and back as well as the cargo mat. I really like'em and they match my tires pretty closely (Hankook Dynapro MT). They've taken a pretty good beating so far and I've only lost the badge on the rear cargo mat.
