yes, someone does. i've seen it online somewhere, but not sure where. google it. i see what i can find later, if no one has found anything yet.

My 96 had full rubber floor from front to back. I wish my 2000 was that way.

I don't think anyone makes an aftermarket rubber floor. From the investigating I have done, it looks like the only option is through the dealer. Rubber floors were in some of the service vehicle models.

Wouldn't pulling up the carpet and bedlining the floor get you the same thing? In fact it would be better, because it would be completely water proof. If you just have a rubber covering on the floor, water could still get underneath of it and rust the floors.

i was wondering if anyone had bed lined there jeep, i saw a site for this bedliner called grizzly grip and it is paintable with a roller, you dont have to spray it on, im thinking of doing that to much, except covering the ENTIRE interior with it, the ceiling and the dashboard

i guess it won't link to it directly. just search by the make model and you will find it after a few clicks.

I stand corrected! I now remember seeing that one, but decided against it since it did not cover the rear cargo area.

For your info:

comes with padding that you can place under the vinyl for road noise.
