Default 97-01 Cargo liner

I want to install a cargo liner that covers the entire rear carpeted area and isn't one of those cheap universal covers (that just drape over the cargo area). Do you know if any cargo mat manufacturer offers a mat that covers the rear section and also extended up the back of the rear seats? I am alright with having to drill small holes into the back of the seats to secure it.

I was thinking I could do a small thickness ABS sheet but I don't want it to warp and distort with the weather swings...perhaps a think vinyl or maybe even a bulk piece of vinyl-rubber mat. Any ideas or if someone has done something similar?

Thanks!

Get a piece of EPDM and you can do what ever you want with it.

+1. Rear cargo area is very easy to get the carpet out of. You can cut it at the rear seat or if you remove the full piece this goes all the way under the bench. Chain up here with tools, truck, and farm supply has 3' wide diamond plate-looking rubber mat for $3.99 a foot

Is EPDM pliable enough that is won't "wave" when the Jeep is sitting out in the sun? Best place to get it?

Google it, it is used for rubber roofing so ya it's pretty tough.
