That would be awesome.
I have the rear one for the jku and I love it,
I just haven't had the $$ to get the matching ones for the front yet.

I have had the old mats for about a little less then a year, and am only moderately impressed. The fit isn't anywhere near perfect. And the fronts have warped pretty badly along with the hook holes being a challenge to put them in and out. I also have some cracking happening in 3 out of the 4 mats. I haven't called quadratec yet as I don't have the funds to replace them at the moment, and highly doubt they will replace them after this long. Maybe down the road I will consider the new set but for now I am settling with the older ones.
I think I have your customer info, but PM it to me again and I'll get a warranty replacement setup for you. [QUOTE=tmnt328;2864683]
The new design is more rubbery and pliable. It's a much, much better fit. They are easy to put it and take out, but I can't remember about the floor hook. I'll double check on that for you.
Thanks for the reply. I like the old ones, but there was room for improvement. Any chance you could take a quick video showing off the new mats?
Also, do you have any pictures of the cargo liner in a 2 door? On the website it just shows it in a 4 door, but says it fits 2/4 door. I run my 2 door with the back seat removed all the time, and this may help my tools from tearing up the carpet. Is there a spot to cut holes in it, and use the liner with the back seat?

The biggest kicker for the mats, is that they are now 100% USA made.
Yup! We redesigned every liner for the JK
Indeed you do! I offer free UPS ground shipping to all forum members for the lower 48. International customers, Hawaii and Alaska residents, and truck freight items I can get discounts for.

We definitely agree about the room for improvement, which was one of the main reasons for the new design. I don't think we have a video yet, but I'll ask our photography studio if they've done any. I have personally seen the first batch of front JK liners 2 days ago, and the look alone in person is really nice. There is a new lip around the logo to help keep it from breaking like the old mats. We put a first prototype set up on our black-tar roof last summer during a heat wave for an entire week, didn't warp one bit!

Unfortunately we don't have any of the old models left. All of those models that are on backorder will be replaced with the new design.

I have an order in from Jan. for the Treadlightly mats, and have been curious about the backorder status taking so long. I suppose I see why now. You should probably update your website to at least let people know what's going on, so there is no confusion. I'm not upset at all, I haven't even called in to ask about the backorder, as I just assumed the Treadlightly variants were produced much less frequently, but this explains it. I'm assuming that I might see my new mats in the next month? I've already covered the inside of my Jeep with mud more than a few times, and I'm really tired of scrubbing out the carpet. I'm curious to see photos of options available for 2-door owners (seems to be less and less common) regarding rear seat or rear cargo areas, seat in place/seat removed.

It's not very fair to call our new mats garbage. They aren't even out on the market yet to be able to compare them to current available manufacturers. Our liners are form fitted and the hook holes are perfectly lined up to factory.

The website page for the Tread Lightly liners does have an ETA listed. They are produced at the same time as the Quadratec liners, but we use a tread lightly logo and donate $5 per set sold to the Tread Lightly Organization. They'll be available at the same time as the Quadratec front liners.
For the cargo area, the Tread Lightly Cargo Liner would be perfect. It does not cover the entire area, however. I'll see if I can get ahold of a picture of one in a 2-door for you.

Current ETA's are 1-2 weeks, we're pumping them out as fast as possible. Got a few in our photo studio for pictures and videos, and they are awesome!
