Water Catching Front Mats?

Post by OldFarmTruck22 »

I'm looking for a pair of front mats like the Husky's that have a water catching lip all the way around for my Chief.
I called Husky but all they can do is look up an application for my vehicle and tell mew what I already know, they don't make it for our Chiefs.

I'm thinking there is another vehicle that has a similar floor and firewall design that their mat would fit our Chiefs. The floor area is huge up front.
Husky wouldn't even take measurements from me to match others that they make.

Anybody have ideas of another more modern vehicle that has a similar floor area?

Thanks

I can see if I can find the brand on mine; they're pretty good for the fronts. Rear is smaller than I would like, but the fronts are awesome. They're fairly old mats, out of the '88.

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.

Do yours have the raised up lip all the way around to catch snow and water?
