Question Weathertech versus Rugged Ridge (floor mats and cargo liner)

I know there have been some great threads on here already about floor mats and cargo liners......but I still want feedback regarding only the brands Rugged Ridge and Weathertech. I am looking to buy a entire set (both front mats, middle seat mat, and cargo mat) for my Rubi Unlimited and am curious what you would go with if you were me and had to buy one brand or the other - and price were not an issue?

I am hoping to hear from someone who has owned both and can share there thoughts. Regardless if you owned a Rubicon.......based on looks, fit, and quality - which would you go with; the Weathertech or Rugged Ridge?

Thanks a ton for your advice!

This was JUST covered like 3 days ago.


I have the Weather Tech ones myself. I love the fronts and the cargo mat. The rear seat mats tend to slide. I went to a local fabric store and bought some industrial velcro. Using my hot glue gun I attached it to the bottom of the mats. Now they don't slide anymore and can still be taken out for cleaning.

That being said, I like the looks of the Rugged Ridge cargo mat. It fixes the one problem with the Weather Techs in that it's properlly molded to allow for the latching mechanism on the tail gate. Mine has been folded over by the latch. Other than that one complaint about my Weather Techs I love them. Worth every penny.

I am subscribed.... where is the best place, or least expensive place to get the weather-tech's from. I read a long thread a while back and many people complained about the Rugged Ridge matts curling up on the edges... I think from what I have read that the weather-techs are the best... what is the best price you have found... the best I have found for the entire set (for a a 4 dr.) through weather tech is $287

I ordered mine direct from Weather Tech themselves after I couldn't find them any cheaper at the usual suspects.

Bought mine at Amazon.com ( price matched )
they are awesome mats by the way...held up to one hell of a Canadian winter and two adults and two toddlers in and out all winter...only draw back is the hole where the mats secure with the hold down in the factory carpet....IMO the hole is too big as it allows water/snow to spill through to the carpet.

Got the Weather Techs, they are great but not cheap. Got mine direct from Weathertech. Huskys are fine but not nearly the quality of the WT mats. I have pic posted if you link to my profile.
