Charleen, you probably need to PM a mod and ask to have your username changed. Quickly.

Posting your email address in plain sight like that is a great way to get buried in spam.

Here's why.

if you lift them you may find a lot of rust, bigger problem than carpet!

Not difficult at all if you buy a pre molded kit. A flat bulk piece is much more difficult. Google, carpet kit cherokee, a few options out there. You will need to take out seats and seatbelts and center console if applicable. My 90' had tie down hooks on rear floor that are riveted. I drilled out center of rivets to remove, I did not reinstall them just put some silicone over holes and let cure before putting down carpet. Which brings me to what I did to my carpet. Pretty much just dirty and I was drying out from a water leak in the rear wheel well. My stock carpet is rubber backed so I took it out and pressure washed it. Soaped it up and hosed it down and dried it, looked like new.
