Removing the Rug under the Floor mats on a JK

:cheesy: I realize that you're from Texas and are proud of it but it doesn't mean that the heat is actually hotter there. I mean, I know it gets hot there but, if you do any traveling, you would find that it's hot in a lot of places.



Well, SoCal is a big desert. Same is true of Arizona and Nevada. I spend a lot of time wheeling in all these states and like you, trying to keep cool is important to me. I've forded rivers and have had to pull my carpet out but, have always put it back in after I got it cleaned and allowed it to dry out completely. But hey, that's just me.



It's a neat idea and something I had done on my old CJ and, some guys are cool with the added heat but, to suggest that there isn't a noticeable change without the carpeting is just silly to me.

Bakersfield hits 100 all summer long but it's a dry heat.

Maybe it's me getting old, but it gets noise level increases dramatically with the carpet out.

:cheesy: You're right, totally forgot about the noise reductions carpeting provides too. Thanks for pointing that out

My 2014's rug is sectioned as well like the 2013 but it has some stitches to between each section to kinda keep it together, After I get back I'll do a temperature comparison and see if they stay on or off...

You ever drive through Texas? It's like Bakersfield as far as the eye can see. It gets hot there but no different than Bakersfield.

I was being a smartass, it's fucking hot. I don't even put the top down when it's over 100.

LOL!! And so was I.

Lol! I love the "dry heat" comment. Like it matters when it's that hot. :cheesy:

Agreed, hot is hot, cold is cold. We saw record lows here last week, -16, coldest it's been since the late '80s. I came to the conclusion that once it gets below 0, I can't tell the difference, it's Fing cold. As far as heat goes, the top is closed above 100 for sure .

I hate hearing that excuse also. Here in MO, anything above 90 is considered hot, I think the humidity just makes you sweat more.

I hear that all the time from my east coast friends. It's not hot where you live, it's a dry heat.

I guess in the Midwest and east coast we have wet heat?

Same here. It's the damn east coasters.

"Let's go to vegas in July"
"It's 120 degrees"
"Yeah but it's a dry heat"

:cheesy:

Haha! I will take a 120* dry heat over a 95* day with a high humidity!

95? Man, I start to wither at 70 and high humidity :blush:

I could of missed it, but I don't see anyone saying anything about either style of Bed Rugs. I have never used it, but it's something that you could look into instead or Rhino Lining your Jeep.

I've had bed rugs in my old trucks and while I loved them, why would you get rid of your carpet to put in another carpet?

I'll take 110 dry heat over 110 with humidity any day. And it does make a difference.

My main reason for getting rid of the carpet was I have an Australian Shepard and he sheds a ton.

I have three Huskys. I feel your pain. Wet sponge makes the job easier.
