Husky's VS. Weatherboots (Floor Mats)
I have decided (almost ) to order a front/rear set of grey Husky liners for my 2nd gen truck.
The grey color should complement my new carpet, and I plan to put the rear mats on the chopping board and 'adjust' them to suit my xtra-cab.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had seen/heard anything about these Weatherboots by Fox Enterprises?
They are listed as:
'89-'95 Toyota (all) - 2 & 4WD and 4Runner - USD$109.95
There aren't any marketing pictures for the Toyota 'boots, but by looking at the other models, it appears they practically hang out the door, and even extend up the kick panels.
Google returns all of ~7 results, and I couldn't find any previous posts on the various forums.
Compared to the Husky's, "All surfaces your feet come into contact with are covered with a waterproof pressure sensitive adhesive backed all-weather carpeting.." and I noticed that a particular dealer mentioned the option (+$10) of having the entire mat covered in carpet, including color matching (4 colors).
This same dealer also mentioned various rear mats, but I don't know if they are available for the Toyota.
I will probably go with the Husky's due to lack of info about the Weatherboots, but I do like their design with the full protection on the door sill.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave.

Those weatherboots look pretty cool...
it's a shame they don't make them for Tacomas... :cry:
If it were up to me I think I'd go with the boots. Actually, it would depend on the price. How much are the Huskys?

I just looked at the link. Looks like those are only made for the front footwells. One of the reasons I did Husky's is because I needed the rear footwells covered. Of course, at that point I had to get the cargo area liner too. Mine were $190 shipped for the front, rear and cargo liners from Cabellas.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone...
I think the carpet lining that is incorporated into the Weatherboots is just going to look tacky after a while (even if it is marine carpet!)
I had a look at Cabellas (damn you guys have some big superstores ) and the fronts are around USD$55 plus $35 for international priority mail
But hey, they're a perfect fit....
Looks like I'll have to special order the rear mat or something...
Oh, apparently Weatherboots were first manuactured for the Corvette and have been around for ages.
