Husky Weather Beaters (which is what I have)
Weathertech
Jeep Slush mats
They'll all serve their purpose. The Huskys don't have a big red logo. (the Weathertechs do), the Jeep ones have a big Jeep logo. I like the Husky Weatherbeaters since 1. they don't have a logo, 2. the rear mats cover the entire area including the middle hump between the seats. 3. It provides the ability to cut out the area of the cargo mat by the subwoofer if you want. Also, it completely covers the front area (no holes for the hooks) The Jeep slush mats (in my opinion) shouldn't have the holes. Just looking at mine, I know I'd have stained the carpets underneath already. (which isn't that big of a deal... after all... this IS a Jeep)
Honestly those don't look like they do that great of a job. I have the Factory ones and they fit and work awesome. They have a ton of cut out space for water/mud to pool. It seems like much more so than those.
For me its aa tough choice between husky and OEM Mopar mats. I didnt really consider weathertechs because there price and that ugly logo they put on their mats. Turns out that is just a sticker which can be removed if you wanted. Either way though too much money and I even think the Husky mats look better anyway. My vote goes to:
1. Husky
2.OEM Mopar
3.Weathertech
weathertecs. Fit perfectly, have a good look without being too bulky, and save my carpet from everything.
Get them from xenondepot, a featured vendor on the site. I just got them last week for 15% off and free shipping over 150. Coupon code is WC11. hopefully it's still going on. Highly recommended and i got them very fast.
X2. If I could change one thing about them though it would be how high the mat comes up where you rest your left foot. It does not go up high enough. Other than that they look good, fit well and the back seat is a 1 piece that stretches across the whole area. Cargo mat is also a perfect fit and good look.
Love the Jeep (Mopar) floor mats and cargo mat. These are thick, heavy, rubber mats that have served their purpose well with all of the snow here. I actually don't mind the Jeep logo because, after all, I am driving one.
BTW: I'll NEVER order another product from Weathertech. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Ordered some mats for another car and they weren't as described - didn't even have holes where they should be for mat retention. You better be a type B person to deal with a return from that company (hell, even an initial order), otherwise you'll blow a gasket getting a "return number" through their antiquated phone lines, then paying to ship it back yourself, then having to call back a month later to ask where your credit is...
Very true, but we shouldn't present incorrect facts to members who are trying to make a decision. Remember, they need to decide what is best for them; they are just looking for some user data. Thats the whole idea, right?
In my opinion the husky brand was the way to go. (For me) Knowing how much crap I track into my vehicle, I wouldn't have been comfortable with mats that have holes for the eyelets. Of course... YMMV. Besides ... I already had dirt from the stock mats from the holes. With my new mats. No issues
I have the WeatherTech DigitalFit mats for 1st & 2nd row and am very pleased. They fit perfectly, gromet holes are right where they should be, 2nd row covers center hump. With all the snow we've had in the NE I've had no problems with water / mud. Personally I like the more refined look of the WeatherTech it matches nicely to the more upscale look of the WK2 interior. I have the Jeep Slush Mat for the cargo area, I like seeing the jeep logo when I open the cargo area. I ordered my WeatherTech's direct from their website and they arrived sooner than expected. (The website did not update the order status until after they arrived, oh well.) The Slush Mat I purchased from the dealer where I got my GC.
Bit the bullet and ordered the Weathertechs. They'll deliver tomorrow (I hope). I've had them in previous trucks and they were fantastic as far as coverage and ease of cleaning them. My ONLY gripe is they are made out of a hard plastic material, and that feels kind of cheap to me. Also, your feet don't "grab" on them like a rubber mat.
I plan on using my heat gun and removing the Weathertech sticker. I'll post up pics when I get them.
I got the Mopar Slush Mats. They have a great coverage area, and fit extremely well. I also got the rear cargo mat. For the price I paid(< $170), shipped to my house in 2 business days, I'm completely happy!
Where did you get them? I am looking for the same combo (slush mats and molded cargo tray) but the mopar place listed on the jeep website only has them for the overland, not the laredo which is what I have.
I recently purchased and have in my possession the WeatherTek (black) mats, including cargo liner for my black Summit that is on the way. High quality, built in the U.S.A...I really like them
@ XenonDepot : I just had shipped Part #44324-1-2 (Black Floor Liner "Digital Fit") and Part #40469 Black Cargo Liner). Are these the ones you installed? I like the comment "like a glove" want to make sure I ordered the right ones. They look like the right ones, but WeatherTech makes a few types.
I like the Mopar offering; they're heavy duty, flexible, highly slip resistant and remain that way even in the coldest temps. The only Mopar mat shortcoming compared to a few others is the limited footrest coverage for the driver's side mat. The nice thing about the Mopar mats is the color matches close enough to the interior (black) that if I left them in all year long they would not look out of place.
Looks like the OEM Jeep mats wear out a lot faster than Weathertechs I've had in the past. The area where my heel sits from driving has completely worn down to the flat part of the mat - I guess the rubber is too soft. I won't be buying these again.
I guess it depends on what you consider worn out. I think the Mopar mats are thicker than the Weathertech to start so basically you've worn this one area down the the thickness the other ones start at. Since they are 50% of the price of the weathertechs I'm not too concerned and still consider them to be the best slush mat value for the WK2.
You should show your dealer this, maybe Chrysler will replace it because it does seem like excessive wear but then you don't post how old, how many miles and how long the last set of Weathertechs lasted you.
I have the Mopar mats and mine are 3 months old with about 4000 miles and they look new.
My last Weathertechs lasted 6 years, 70,000 miles. The rubber on the Weathertechs felt like it had a layer of plastic or something on top, definitely a harder rubber material and I never had an issue with them.
I've worn this down to the thickness of Weathertech mats in four months, but by next year I'll be hitting carpet. I'll show the dealer just to let them know that the rubber is too soft, if they end up replacing it, it'll be a bonus.
For the summer I went with a set of CoCo Mats. I chose the black with the grey dots and it looks really nice with the black Overland interior with the grey piping.
Take a look at Husky Liners. They are the original liner manufacturer for cars, trucks, and SUVs. Very similar to WeatherTech at a more affordable price.

I see where a lot of you pay for the MOPAR slushies, I have bought several Jeeps over the years and to close the deal after the money discussion, I always ask them to throw them in. No more funds tacked on. Paying that much for a Jeep, they usually will throw in the slushies, and in the case of the WK2 I had, they gave me the complete set, including the rear mat. Be brave. Believe me, most salesmen will throw them in if they know that will close the deal!!
I put in a set of Husky liners last week and are fairly happy with them. Have had Huskys in other vehicles and they last forever. Only thing is I wish the Huskys for the GC would go a little furhter up the carpet on the right side near the gas pedal.
