Up for sale is a brand new Comanche carpet. Color is gray and it had the thick mass backing. I cut the transfer case lever hole slightly too big so about 1/2 inch of the transfer case linkage shows and is not covered by the mini console. Maybe a full console will cover it. I'm pissed off at myself and am starting the carpet over. Sides still need to be trimmed. If you have a solution for the hole, or are not ocd this is a great deal. Texts preferred. 7816987249

Hmmmmm...cut a patch from under a seat.... esp if you don't have 4WD.  

 

If it is not super thin carpet a good carpet guy should be able to pull off pretty easily one would think.

Brand new carpet is a $141 with free shipping on eBay . For the extra $16( not to mention shipping costs) I'd rather go with the new carpet.

You get what you pay for.  I bought my carpeting on eBay.  Paid short money (<$150 delivered).  Good quality carpeting, but the backing was 1/2" thick and only covered the tunnel and floor pans.  Nothing under or behind the seats.  I had to spend quite a bit more to fill the gaps for a sound barrier.

 

I don't know what this carpet looks like, but he describes it having "thick" mass backing.  If you've ever pulled your stock carpet out, you'll know the definition of "thick".  It makes a difference if you have any concern for road noise.

I agree , but I have spayed lizard skin sound deadener on my floors and it also is a water barrier . The mass backing is nothing but a sponge if it gets wet .

True story ... probably why our beloved trucks rot from the inside out on the floor pans.  I don't take my truck "swimming" (as many of our brethren on here do), so I hope to keep everything dry.
