I never saw a Jeep with carpet until I bought a 2003 Wrangler. Previous 4 wheel drive vehicles I had driven were either bare metal or rubber/vinyl flooring, so one could wash out the constant mud and dog vomit. I still have the Wrangler but no dogs. After all these years, the carpet is about as nasty as can be imagined. It has got to go. Carpet in a Jeep just seems like a really dumb idea.
Herculining the interior of my YJ tub is one of the best things I ever did for it. I *never* have to worry about dirt of any kind, nor the odd solvent spill (think of taking a bunch of five gallon cans to the gas station). I can hose it out any time. I kept the carpet so that if I ever wanted to I could Velcro it down on top of the Herculiner. But that carpet has been in my attic so long that I doubt it's still usable. Incidentally it gets pretty cold where I am, but the copper/brass heater core in my YJ does so well that carpet isn't much of a factor. I have no problem driving round with the soft top on at -30°.
KC9UDX nice, hahahahaha that’s definitely one of the biggest advantages of not having carpet. Would be interesting to pull it out and have a look. That’s the Jeep life, sounds perfect 👌
@@tomasgarcia6547 the heat is amazing. The noise is, well, I'm not sure if it's different or not. But the thin carpet that came with my YJ didn't do much for that. Plus, between the tyres and exhaust, my YJ is too loud to do much about it anyway.
Yes my Jeep is 20 years old and the floor is rusted by the carpet. Jeeps are cool because the interior is the same color as the exterior. My Jeep is yellow and looks amazing inside with no carpet.
This is why I am purchasing the Armorlite system. Washable and has a sound heat barrier system. Definitely worth the investment I simply can't do carpet anymore to much work and it gets wet game over. The smell alone plus mold no thank you.
Exactly. I have German shepherds, after a few trips with them a d the sand from beaches. Dust and mud in the trails, it would take me hours to get it clean. I pulled it out. Put armorlite, 15 min and it's done, plus it's quieter. And less heat. And they use recycled materials 20% but they are going to use more in the future.
@@Whiteandsonsgarage It is a 2015 wrangler 2 door.. Falling down on the sides in the back Coming down from below the shifter area on the passenger side. Didnt know if I could just take it out, clean the jeep n carpet, put it back in with tape? I never drive it in snow/salt.. less that 14,000 miles on it... The back seat has not been in it since the day I brought it home.. that is for the dog How much trouble is it to remove carpet n put it back in ruclips.net/video/latJDriJDB8/видео.html
@@BuddyBullwinkel oh nice, yeah I think that is what most people are doing, just some double sided 3m tape would do the trick, nice, good low kms on it.
This actually looks like a cool product - both a waterproof carpet like liner, and a moulded tread liner that looks sprayed... and they ALL come with heat shields underneath. Not as expensive as I expected.
Instantly got a like for 3 reasons. 1: good video. 2: caaapet 3: I laughed so hard when you said were talking about washing stuff out through the holes. Sand, barf pee.. drugs. Hahahaha
My solution has been to have rubber mats (with a deep tread pattern) everywhere in the Jeep. - then, after a beach trip, we just pull the mats out and hose THEM down. there's still a little sand that gets on to the carpet, but nothing a little vacuum cant handle. If I cared. I don't actually care that much. I (try to) keep the front clean and the back seat nice for occasional passengers, but the back - that's kind of MY territory. It's more about organizing back there (especially now that I'm shoving everything above the roll bar ha ha), and the big ol' rubber mat takes care of everything else. SO, for me, it's carpets IN.
Dude and the Bear. Nice, I think that might be the go, definitely a great idea, kinda best of both worlds. Hahahahaha that’s a great idea 😉. Thanks mate
No to removing carpet, unless you have a dog apparently. But my TJ didn't come with carpet. They badly spray lined it but had really nice rubber floor mats. Well one thing I noticed was that it was so loud and hot inside. I eventually installed the stick down sound deadener along the transmission tunnel and back floor, then carpeted the back half of the TJ floor. The noise and heat went down significantly. I still want to carpet the front and may just buy the bedrug for the front install. Anyone that rode in it before and after really noticed the difference. I can even have a conversation in the Jeep now. Don't get me wrong, it's still a TJ and loud, but the decimals went down enough to make it more comfortable for myself and passengers.
gigasipke yeah I think keeping it will be the best thing to do, must be a tj thing, anything to make driving a little bit better. Would you go with the Bedrug? I have heard good things about them. Thanks mate
@@Whiteandsonsgarage I would go with the Bedrug, I actually followed your carpeting video and picked up a roll of marine carpet to do the back half. However the front will be a little more complex so Bedrug would be simpler.
Agree just did it 3 days ago. My first jeep had it and i loved it. My jeep now had carpet and i hated it after 3.5 years and finally sprayed it.couldnt be happier. Road noise is louder but its a jeep who care.
Should we keep the carpet? Let me know what you think.
Get rid of it.

Rubber floor would be absolutely amazing

@@Whiteandsonsgarage just be careful with the Herculiner. You don't wanna get it on yer hootus...
How's the heat? And noise? I want to do this also
@@tomasgarcia6547 the heat is amazing. The noise is, well, I'm not sure if it's different or not. But the thin carpet that came with my YJ didn't do much for that. Plus, between the tyres and exhaust, my YJ is too loud to do much about it anyway.
I guess it’s nice since it’s fairly easy to take it out and put it it back in depending on what you’re doing
Yeah definitely and because it’s a easy space to work with you can always make up a new floor etc depending on what you need.
Yes my Jeep is 20 years old and the floor is rusted by the carpet. Jeeps are cool because the interior is the same color as the exterior. My Jeep is yellow and looks amazing inside with no carpet.
Nice, hopefully it is not to much rust, yeah that is so true, it follows really nicely
Amen 😊

Nice, that sounds really good, thanks for letting me know, nothing worse than wet carpet. I will definitely be having a look at that. Thanks

You can line it and have carpet its quieter and temps are nicer and its easy to remove and hose off
Jim Woods yeah great idea, that might be the way to go, best of both worlds. Thanks mate
The carpet is coming unglued.. back and front floor, how hard to take it up then glue back down?
What year Jeep is it? The carpet in my Jeep’s haven’t been glued.
@@Whiteandsonsgarage It is a 2015 wrangler 2 door..

That is a hard one, i love having it in but hate having to keep it clean very week.
It is, I did take it out for a couple of week... now it is back in and is saying in.
Check out bedtred carpet. It's like bedliner but can hose it out
This actually looks like a cool product - both a waterproof carpet like liner, and a moulded tread liner that looks sprayed... and they ALL come with heat shields underneath. Not as expensive as I expected.
Looks great, thanks guys, might be something to have a think about.Thanks
Anyone have any tips on how to keep the factory carpet lining from moving around? Mine will not stay in place :(
Do you have tie down points in the back?

gigasipke awesome, how do you find the Marine carpet in the back? Yeah would probably be the way the to go.
I never take the Jeep off-road, so there's no reason not to have carpet.
Definitely, better to keep it comfortable and looking clean 👌
It's the Raptor Liner life for me ;)
jeepinaustralia nice 👌, lots of people are doing it 👌
Agree just did it 3 days ago. My first jeep had it and i loved it. My jeep now had carpet and i hated it after 3.5 years and finally sprayed it.couldnt be happier. Road noise is louder but its a jeep who care.
If you have a TJ I would say no. My feet burn up thanks to my dumbass
Aaron Ward hahahahaha I know how you feel, will you be putting carpet back in?
CHEAP JEEPER no i am going to put some heat shielding on the tub between the transmission and tub.
It’s a Jeep =no carpet
Just my opinion, keep the carpet and toss Rugged Ridge cargo and floor mats in for easy cleaning. Worth the investment.
Thanks, it is definitely a lot nicer and more comfortable with carpet in
No keep the carpet
Jim Woods I think so
insane
Remove it, armorlite it.
Definitely thinking about it, would make it so much easier to clean 🧼
CAAAAAAPET
Definitely
