Carpet replacement?

[bmrrwolfe]

The wonderful previous owner left me with some stains (looks like they hauled around quikrete in the trunk) and after some attempts of cleaning it, i came to the conclusion it can not be done. So my plan was to see if they make replacement carpet for just the trunk/cargo area or if places make universal auto carpet with different colors, one to at least come close? anyone know where i could get something?
Thanks!

Wal Mart sell automotive carpeting on rolls. Or get a mat/tray to cover the rear area...

I would just get one of those rubber cargo area mats and put that back there and forget about it.

I bought some heavy duty commercial carpet at Home Depot. Cut it and installed it in the cargo area. Protects the carpet underneath and looks good too.

I was thinking of doing that, just finding a color that would match.
Also i wouldn't mind a cover but most are about $80+ and it doesn't solve the issue just covers it up, i know when i go to sell it sometime it will be an issue.

Now that is an idea!

Or sell the mat/liner with the KJ....duct tape it down....I made a DIY cargo liner for the Durango from an old roll of office carpet, I like it.

You could just rip the carpet out and lay down some bedliner...

If it is indeed Quikcrete, try some white vinegar to dissolve it, The acid in the vinegar should do it. Then clean-up with Resolve carpet cleaner.

Well hopefully i wont have to sell it! but being 19 living at home going to college full-time,working part-time and now having an unemployed single parent money is getting very tight, and since i personally have this completly payed off it would be my first thing would need to go....
but my buddy said he could get another job as a pizza delivery guy! haha not sure if the KJ is the best delivery ride and i really do not want to put the miles on it, but the money he makes is very nice!

Hopefully with another job and selling off my quad and putting my other project truck on hold... i shouldn't have to worry about it

but back to the carpet i might check out homedepot and lay stuff over it.
Also i looked online a couple companys sell replacement auto carpet (assuming the material would match what i have now) and i found a company on amazon thats pretty cheap i might try that if home depot fails me.

FWIW I got mine at a regular carpet remnant store ... they sometimes have all weather / rubber backed carpet ... or a poly tarp and some spray adhesive can make (almost) any carpet weather resistant.

I got the MOPAR rubber slush mat for the trunk...same colour, fits perfect and protects the carpet. But that's maybe not the cheapest option...sorry.

Its cool it is an option but the attempt of the carpet replacement will come first!
