Gentlemen,

Anyone uses or ever used those custom fitted floorliners, such as the ones offered by Weathertech

of Husky?

Seems like a good option for keeping your carpet in top condition (especially on runs).

^^ nope, never used them.
Most I ever did was to go and buy the Michelin floor mats from pricesmart, back when I drove the Frontier.


As for keeping the carpet clean..... newspaper ftw bai!!

Read a few good reviews about the floorliners. A bit pricey but may be a worthwhile investment. They even catch spilt liquids. Will check it out further.

Price is around US$150-$200.

never used them, but when i had the jimny i had some SCOTT weather mats, and they were ideal, a soft drink exploded in the van one time, clean up was no problem, jus wipe up excess and wash out mat, give a similar fit to the one in the second pic........

for now is express......until i get some 3m....and Michelin....

That is not for you and yuh ole seats! ;-)

But if you MUST know it's a spray solution from 3M used to protect fabric and furniture from stains, etc. But it makes the fabric you sitting on kinda stiff! If you have plush upholstry, it will make it stiff like board!

i made a spin down princes town today and happened to come across one of the powersellers store.....he had the same cover i bought for the hilux $100 cheaper than what i paid...i also got some decent enought mats....i won't call it a liner, but the front mats big, have channels in them and spikes underneath to prevent slipping. the back mat is an all in one...over the hump style....for $370

i'll post some pics tomorrow....they seems pretty durable and they have them in tan, black and grey

they definetely better than what the lux came with and cover a greater area then the michelins i bought for the car at pricesmart.

I -mailed then a few years ago.. and only left hand drive options were available.. too much trouble. more than its worth ... so i left it like that and did the boat decking instead... Never regretted it..
