Default Slush mats?

this sounds like a dumb question, but what kind of slush mats does everyone use? i need to pick some up, or else im going to rub a hole in the carpet one (using my heel on the pedals, i've done it lol)

i know jeep has a set of front and rear mats, but they didnt post a picture so it's hard to know if i want to go out and pick them up, or get some from somewhere else

thanks!

I got the Mopar slushmats because they look cool (tire tread pattern) and I assumed that the OEM would have the right solution to the problem. But, they do have a 1/2" diameter holes on the middle of each of the fronts that attach to the hooks on the floor. If you are only concerned about your shoes wearing holes in the carpet, these look great and fit pretty well. If you expect them to keep snow, slush or water off the carpet, I'd look elsewhere.

I paid $80.00 +/- for mine. But my dealer is a crook. Those look like they would do a better overall job than the Mopar mats.

I ordered Scooby Doo Slush Mats for the front and back. What can I say I am a kid at heart!!! Funny thing is...I didn't realize that my JK would make feel that way as well!

I have the Mopar slush mats. I went with these because I wanted ones that were molded/fit well in the floor. Front ones do have the hole for the the hook so they don't move. I like that as that hook in other cars has wore a hole in other mats that weren't made to accommodate the hook. Rear mat is also one piece.

those are the Husy Floor liners... i have those. i like them pretty good. they are a bit slick, but do have the ability to hold water, and a pretty good bit with the lip that runs all the way around. I have had them since christmas and they are showing a bit of wear (were my foot pivots from gas to break).
