June 09, 2025
Jeep Wrangler TJ Carpet & Console Guide (1997–2006)
Replacing your Wrangler TJ’s carpet is one of the quickest ways to boost comfort, resale value, and trail‑ready durability. Before you click “Add to Cart,” make sure you know whether your Jeep has a long console or a short console to ensure proper fitment and no trimming headaches.
Long Console vs Short Console – Spot the Difference
| Feature | Long Console | Short Console |
|---|---|---|
| Cupholders | With rear glove-box/arm rest | Only front cupholders |
| Parking brake | Hidden inside console | Exposed next to console |
| Overall length | Full dash-to-rear floor | Ends after cupholders |
Tip: 1997–2002 TJs may have swapped consoles. Always inspect your Jeep before ordering.
Why Molded Kits Beat Universal Mats
- Precision-molded to fit the TJ floor pan.
- Factory-style jute or optional Mass-Backing for noise & heat insulation.
