i did this years ago with a friend on his jeep. do you have any body rot on the vehicle? that could complicate the job exponentially. it's not that hard to do if the vehicle is in good shape. i would recommend checking on line for the best pricing. there are a few places to go for direct fit options. it's a good project to do. just dont let your wife talk you into new custom seats for up front. that's where the real money will go!

I had to replace the rear cargo area carpeting in my 97 Tahoe and the carpet was a perfect match color and fit but I'll be danged if I can't find or remember where I got the replacement from I found it on-line and they did send me free samples to match up the grain and color.... It was not hard to do, just be prepared to pull out seats and some trim to get it all to fit correctly and there may be some trimming required ( only to get it to fit up under the trim and weather stripping as needed)

Nope, no rust or anything. It's in very good shape but it has several years worth of my kids riding around in it. Need I say more. Right now I'm looking at Correctly Molded Carpet and Molded Vinyl For Your Chevy Car, Truck and SUV but I really would like to know if anyone else has any experience, good or bad, with manufacturers, fitting, etc. I actually put carpet in an 86 suburban back in the early nineties but that was 20 years ago now.

Might try pinging a few of the places via the BBB and see if you get any hits...
