Or, get the Quadratec floor mats. These are super nice!

The upside down rear view reduces the amount of ducking to see traffic lights - forgot about that one - definitely makes driving more comfortable for me...

cwood: I like it!

I have the Mopar tub rubber liner. Makes cleaning out dog hair a 5 minute job and I think cuts down road noise. Looked at Rhino type linings but they were expensive and you can't go back.

Recommend a Rough Rider roadie harnes for big dogs, and the Raingler nets. About as safe an install as you can get for Jeep dogs.

Thanks for the Ruff Rider Roadie idea - - - I like the idea of not hooking my dog in the jeep via his collar. And dog hair is one of the reasons I want to Rhino Line the tub.....I have a Husky Liner floor mat, which helps, but dog hair gets stuck in that nappy carpet and its a bear to get it out. Velcro must make that carpet for Chrysler!
