Default New carpet suggestions please

Hello all,
I finally got myself a nice 2012 Rubicon and one of the first things I’d like to do is replace the carpet in the entire Jeep. I’ve read some good things about Bedrug, but am hesitant to use any kind of velcro adhesion because of the extremely high temps here in Mesa,
I'd really appreciate any and all recommendations and opinions on new carpet.
Thanks VERY MUCH!
-Mark

I have Bedrug in my '13 JKU. I love it.....it's a great product, and it is reasonably priced. I pulled my carpet years ago and raptor-line'd my tub. I got tired of it being so dirty, and the bedrug brought back a bit of refinement, but with the ease of cleaning. I only have the front and the middle, and my cargo area is still just lined with a storage compartment back there. I did not mess around with velcro at all. I slapped the provided heat shield on the back and popped them in. They go in easily without having to remove anything. They pretty much stay put too without any velcro. I will say that in the front, they may stay 100% in place if you put a little velcro right around the hump directly in front of the front seats, but otherwise nbd. They don't move around much at all without velcro.....it's just that sometimes I see a small gap there. Not long ago I had a soft top leak and swamp my front passenger footwell. NBD, pulled that piece of rug, pulled the drain plug, set the rug upside down overnight, popped back in in the morning.

There are a couple videos on YouTube reviewing the product. After about a year of use, I fully endorse it.

I'll snap a picture tonight of what I'm talking about with the small gap. It's no big deal at all.

Kojack's post reminded me i never uploaded those pictures. This is the only place I think that some velcro would might make fitment better, but it's really just not that big of a deal. Without velcro, the fronts slide forward just a touch and create this gap....but it's not like they're sliding all over the place. Don't mind the dirt and leaves....my jeep is just always dirty.
