KYMJ Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I bought one off e-bay, don't think that was the supplier I bought from. First, I'll say that for what I paid and for a Comanche the carpet is good enough. Didn't match the original, and don't think there was a choice that really matched perfectly. But, to be fair the place I bought it from recommends sending them a piece of the old to match, I chose not to. There are places that the carpet doesn't really lay well, because it doesn't have the same backing or as much as the original. I even used some of the old backing to fill in loose places. Kind off bunches up in the gas pedal area, but most of the places are covered by the seats and console. I put this new carpet in my 4x4 and it's seen a fair amount of mud, so it really doesn't matter now. Might keep that in mind and get a rubber mat. Hope this helps. I paid $113 for mine w/shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crazy- I haven't stalled in traffic since I was learning to drive stick eons ago. truly, if my truck is about to die... you're gonna hear about it. but this beast DOESNT stall.. you have to really mess up to stall it... i accidently dropped the clutch in traffic once cause my foot was wet, and slammed on brakes to not hit the car in front of me... THEN put the clutch back in, and the revvs popped back up :brows: i always over-crank moms XJ cause i can't tell it started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
