my cheap alternative to the husky floor mats

i recently upgraded the mats in the runner and did not want to pay a couple hundred for the husky's
i got these from walmart, $10 each front mat and $4 for each rear. they are VERY thick and have the little spines underneath to keep the mat still.
the rear cargo was $26 and is cut to fit. i, however, did a terrible job cutting it and have to clean it up a bit but the sides are about 1.5-2 inches all the way around, like the husky's. i cut the tiedowns out of the rubber and that is what keeps it in place. also, i cut the feet for the basslink out so it can grab the carpet.

i like em and someone may want to use these as a cheper mod. my .02

$54 for all interior mats! less than anything i have seen. though they are not "molded" to the runner, a very cheap alternative to them. they will serve their purpose and im sure they'll last!

I also have a set of the front and rear mats in the tan color. I'll have to look into the cargo mat as the price for all the wall mart mats is cheaper than the Husky cargo mat alone

NOPE, thats just the rear cargo mat, i trimmed it and left 2 inches for a "spill barrier" the fronts are just what they looklike, im going to see how much water they will hold!!!

next mod : take out the mats, tear up the carpet, herculine the interior! Works so much better than those mats! My carpet was just too nasty for me to handle anymore, so I tore it up. Best mod yet!

whens the next time you're coming to the badlands? maybe Iwill meet you guys this time!

I got similar ones in a package from sams club for only 20 bucks for my T100. The mats are a bit smaller by about 1" on the outside near the door but for 4 mats I couldnt complain.

i have the exact same ones for my tacoma. same color and everything. i've had them for 3 years now, with no problems. i've posted before, but always got shot down by the "i gotta waste $100 on husky's to be cool" crowd. i'm glad someone else can finally verify these are good mats
