Rip her out, bub!
Doesn't take that long, just remove the seats and any trim pieces that the carpet is underneath. 45 minutes sounds about right.

Applies to at least my 2000 xj
Seats 4 bolts each, 13mm on 3 bolts, 18 or 19mm on 1
Trim on front and rear doors - Phillips head screw driver or drill
Front kick panels - deep 11mm socket IIRC
Center console - two screws in the storage compartment. Pull the shifter head off (give it a good yank). Pop off the shifter panel and transfer case panel off with your fingers or flat head screw driver, underneath should be some miscellaneous screws.
Yank the e brake up and shimmy the center console out. Then pull out the heat/ac duct. You may need a torx 50 for the seat belts, and at the base of the rear seat there is a plastic clip on each side. You can pop them out with a flat head. Pulling the carpet may need some muscle to get it up and over the e brake.
