Removing Carpet?
So I know the dealers and manual tell you not to because of the heat from the exhaust and engine, but has anyone done this? Any side effects? Also, I know there are wires running to the back right underneath the carpet above the wheel wells. Anyone found a clever way of hiding these so they aren't out in the open with the carpet removed? Thanks for any feedback.

only carpet ive pulled is the front carpet and right under driver seat. It does get a little warm on the feet and yes right above the tranny gets decently hot but not going to burn your skin. I got the Husky floor matts and they work great

So...I pulled out all my carpet yesterday after some of your posts. Super Easy. I also just got the Husky Floor Liners. They work great. Good Fit and seem pretty durable. Also, I can now sell my vaccum and get a better hose. HaHa.

you pull the rear carpet too? I thought about it but i want to keep my rear tub cover in place and having the trapazoid piece of carpet in the middle of metal would look goofy i think

Yes I pulled ALL of my carpet out even the rear. I offroad quite a bit and I normally have the top down and all the carpet would get filthy. Frankly I got sick of vacuuming my entire car. Now I use an air hose. So far I have no regrets.

For those that have pulled the carpet. What did you do about the carpet cover for the little recessed trunk area? Did you just remove the door? Was the entire tub painted like a TJ? I've peaked under the carpet and mine looks spotty. I'm not so much concerned about the appearance as much as rust due to the water that's going to be getting on it.
