could do what I did and have rear seats removed or folded up, and remove that 1 bit of carpet for the boot, couple of straps and tie it down. Your tyre iron will sit nicely in the mag too..

Hopefully get some time this weekend to put them on, moving house though so not sure if i'll get spare time

only got one done as it started getting dark, will give the other one a crack tonight.
Getting ready:
The holes:
Finished product: (need to clean the Jeep i know)

Looking good! Maybe you should have cleaned the Jeep first though, needed dark glasses for the bling!!
Never regret anything you have done, only regret those things you have not done!
