There is a little gap on the curve. But I plan to use my heat gun and mold it a little and all will be well

I got the same mats, a full set minus the cargo mat. They fit good And they look good I get a lot of compliments on them but it bugged me the carpet didn't match and everything else in my jeep is black so I dyed the carpet black too....

They fit pretty good minus the gap, but like I said I'll heat them up and mold it a little more. So far they have collected a ton of water and ice and dirt, and it contains it real well with the lip. I'm satisfied, I've heard the rugged ridge and the quadratec brands are pretty much the same mats. I only have the front so have nothing to say about the rear cargo mat, I had the rear seat ones on my last jeep and they were pretty handy, but this jeep never has anyone in the back seat.

The molding and spikes on the bottom of the mats keep them from sliding around also

Well this morning I got orders to yorktown VA, I'll move from kodiak this summer! Finally I'll be down in the lower 48 and will be able to buy a lift kit that doesn't cost 500$ to ship! Hopefully I'll be able to meet some people on here that live in the area. Give me a holler if your in the area!

Yesterday I went to the junkyard and picked up a windshield washer fluid resivor (for my future snorkel install), a valve cover, and a fuel rail with injectors. Going to paint the valve cover and fuel rail and put it on the jeep since my valve cover and fuel rail look like crap haha. Might try to go find a throttle body also and then bore the lower half out to 60mm.
