Southpaw26 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well I am wanting to order a new carpet kit for my 1988 Jeep Comanche. The truck has the brown/tan interior. I call it spice. I am looking at this carpet kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/390671202925?item=390671202925&viewitem=&vxp=mtr . Can anyone tell me what they think the correct color of carpet would be?

Southpaw26 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I am thinking maybe buckskin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I got my carpet from www.stockinteriors.com Mine is the brown/tan interior, also. The color for the carpet is "buckskin." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw26 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I thought that was most likely the color. But it is hard to tell with that picture image. How well did that carpet kit you got from them actually fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well, unfortunately, I am in the 10th month of a 5 month restoration. :hmm: The MJ is not back yet. The carpet is not in yet. The color is a perfect match. However, it needs to be trimmed to size and needs the various openning cut (trans and t-case, seat bracket posts, etc.) The ebay link had a higher price then Stock Interiors. Do some due diligence on pricing and additional options. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw26 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I agree the price was $5 more. I am 24 months into a 6 month restore. Go figure...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw26 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 $5 more being with the shipping price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Sheesh. I would have voted for Taupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw26 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Have you ordered one before as well? Seems like these pictures can be a little deceiving. I have ordered a few samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave92cherokee Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I ordered bulk carpet and pad from stock interiors for the manche. I got the doeskin color which is slightly lighter than the rear MJ B pillar panels but almost matches perfectly to the 93 xj trim pieces. I've still got to get at it with a heat gun to warm up the carpet backing so it can be molded into shape. If you look on their website you can order 5-6 carpet samples if you're unsure of the color so you can compare it to the trim and interior and they ship it to you for free best of all.

Southpaw26 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yes that is exacly what I did. Is that your double cab Comanche in your avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave92cherokee Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The one in the avatar is a photoshop that I'm building mine based off of. Only real difference between it and mine will be mine's going to be desert tan and have 2x6 rockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color for the carpet is "buckskin." I’m currently restoring a 1987 SporTruck with the tan interior and I am having trouble finding the correct carpet color. Unfortunately, when I bought my truck, there wasn’t a carpet, so I am unable to correctly color match it. You mentioned that you bought yours from www.stockinteriors.com in the buckskin color. I was just wondering if you had any photos of your interior so I can have an idea of how this looks and compare to my own interior before I make any purchases? From what I understand, there was only one color of tan for my year, but i’m not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I found the picture of the installation. There were two shades of "tan" in 87. One was a lighter shade and the other was darker (the name was Honey). Mine is the honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingkomando Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Thank you. That’s the buckskin carpet? Looks quite different from the website but seems to match really well. I’m not sure if I have the tan or the honey. Here’s a photo of my interior. Are you able to tell? Based on your photo, my guess would be honey but i’m not quite sure. Regardless, I am repainting most of my interior trim with SEM camel as recommended by another forum as that color is supposedly close to the 1987 tan (or maybe honey?)

goingkomando Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I also ordered some samples from stockinteriors so I can compare directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Yes, it was Buckskin color. Yours looks like it is very faded or a combo of the two shades of tan. The lighter shade is closer to gray. The darker shade is closer to bronwish/orange, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingkomando Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I guess I’ll have to gauge what looks best based on how the repainting turns out. Thank you a ton, this was a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
