I realize these are just floor mats and installing them should be a no-brainer but the good guys over at Mopar did a great job of designing the ones for the all new Jeep JL Wrangler and in a such a way that not only looks great but are more functional than ever before. Regardless if you ordered yours with your JL or purchased them after the fact from Amazon or the like, some installation will be required and this episode of the JL Journal will show you how.


You can order a set of Mopar All Weather Floor Mats here:

Good video. Neat how they did the drain plug flow through on the front mats.

I was told to not order it from the the factory like that though because you lose getting the carpet mats. You pay the same amount if you order them the way you did and you have both sets. Thoughts?

Super cool. Didn't realize the carpet was already partially trimmed.

I was surprised how solid the mats were when I opened mine up. They will probably be my first "mod" on the JL. Lol.

Great video. Jeep really thought this through in regards to the carpet cutouts and aftermarket mat fitments. Any way you would mind snapping a picture from underneath the Jeep showing how the rubber inserts seal to the body. I'm a little unsure of how water would be sealed from getting in under the mat and getting the carpet wet.

I suppose if you think you'll go back to the carpet mats in the future, buying the all weather mats is the better way to go. Certainly, the price on Amazon was about the same anyway.

They really are sturdy mats and I like how they DON'T have deep cleats in them the way previous and other mats have. Much easier to clean.

I'll see what I can do. The drain port opens up right over the frame rail and so it's pretty hard to see. The seal is tight though.

Looking great !
I just hope that, with time, the front mats don't warp at the edges like the JK Quadratec ones did.

I've been avoiding the full install of the rubber mats since I got my JL. I figured there I'd have to make precision cuts and measurements to get the plug to function. Without your video, I would've put it off a lot longer.0221180713.jpg

Kinda crazy to be talking about "mats" this way but I have to agree, they really are way cool. :yup:

LOL!! No kidding! Not like Jeeps haven't had drain ports on the floor pan forever. Glad you are enjoying the JL Journal :cool:

I like the flatter design... the JK tire tread is kinda hard to clean and grabs small rocks.

This ^^^ The flatter design just makes so much more sense. If anything, the tread just made everything more difficult.

These are really thick and rigid mats and I don't think they will.

This would be my only concern over a period of time. That the seal on the mats could wear. I'm sure initially they are very snug. But I often take my mats out to clean them and carpets. How will it hold up over time.

Well, if you're really checking things that often, it really shouldn't matter. IF the drain port seal becomes compromised, you'll know it. You can always reinstall the rubber plug back into the drain port.

Nice. They look great quality, and love the artistic additions as well.

Little surprised they didn't put a plug in all four pieces.
