How to Install BedRug Cargo Floor Liner (97-06 Wrangler TJ) on your Jeep Wrangler

Congratulations on choosing the finest interior flooring kit available for your Jeep. The Bedrug/Bedtred material is mold and mildew resistant, easily cleaned with water & household cleaning chemicals and extremely resistant to most chemicals.

• Kit Contents: Driver side wheel well, passenger side wheel well, rear cargo area floor, tailgate piece, hook fasteners, and instruction sheet.

1. Read all instructions before beginning installation.

2. Remove old Jeep flooring material (if equipped).

3. Wash and dry the floor pan and wheel well areas thoroughly.

4. Cut the hook fasteners with tape backing to match the length of loop sewn on the underside of each BedRug piece. Place the hook onto each location. Do not remove the tape backing at this time. (Note: Cut the longest pieces first.) Refer to drawing on Page 5. For BedTred hook fastener installation; cut hook fasteners to length and install in locations notated on Page 5.

IMPORTANT: Jeep floor should be at least 68°F (20°C) for maximum adhesion. Clean all areas with rubbing alcohol before applying tape. When removing backing, do not touch adhesive. If both front and rear kits were purchased be sure to install the rear cargo area first.

5. Tilt rear seat into up/forward position. Fit driver side wheel well piece into place, fitting around seat belt mount, roll bar, wiring, and rear door latch. Note: Like the factory carpet kit, there is a flap at the bottom of both wheel well pieces designed to roll onto the cargo floor. Cargo floor piece will overlap flap. See Fig. 3. Markings on back of the part indicate where slits or cutouts need to be made. Be sure to cut only markings necessary for your Jeep. (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) Tip: Removing the rear seat will make installing cargo area easier.

6. Next pull up bottom of side piece behind seat to access hook fastener. Clean surface with alcohol then remove the film backing and roll the part back into place. Firmly press the top surface to ensure adhesive attachment. (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4)

7. Now pull down the top of the wheel well piece to access the hook fastener. (Fig. 5) Clean the surface with alcohol then remove the film backing and roll the part back into place making sure to tuck under wiring harness where necessary. (Fig. 6) Firmly press the top surface to ensure adhesive attachment.

8. Now lift up on the front of the wheel well piece, clean surface with alcohol remove the tape backing and press firmly back into place. (Fig. 7) Repeat steps for the rear door opening. (Fig. 8)

9. Repeat steps 5 thru 8 for the passenger side wheel well. Note the cutout necessary on the passenger side only for the rear door sensor. (Fig. 9)

Note: For jeeps with a rear seat, trimming will be necessary to fit around seat mount and seat belt attachment points. There are score lines on the back of the part to use as a guide.

10. With the rear seat in the up position, or removed, place the floor piece into position. (Fig. 10) Cut holes in center of floor piece if seat belts are present. Lift the floor piece from the rear and pull the seat belts thru the holes. (Fig. 11)

11. If tie downs are preferred to be accessible, cut holes and slits as desired using score lines on the underside of floor or cut out using your tie downs as a guide. (Fig. 12)

12. Now pull up floor piece from rear of vehicle to access the hook fastener. Clean surface with alcohol then remove the film backing from all of the locations behind the rear seat and roll the floor back into place. Firmly press the top surface to ensure adhesive attachment. (Fig. 13 and Fig. 14)

13. Now repeat the process for the hook fastener in front of the rear seat where the two floor pieces meet. (Fig. 15)

Note: If both front and rear kits are being installed the floor piece in the rear passenger area should overlap the wheel well pieces and the rear floor piece.

14. Remove the metal or plastic cap covering the door latch. Clean surface with alcohol then remove film backing from the tailgate piece and attach to the tailgate. Firmly rub entire surface to ensure good attachment. (Fig. 16) Reinstall the cap over the latch and the tailgate piece in the latch area.

Note: If the tailgate piece covers any screw holes, you will need to puncture holes thru the piece in order to reinstall screws for the latch cover.

Note: Cargo floor has high cycle loop fasteners pre-installed at the factory in locations noted on the drawing. Apply hook fasteners to these pre-installed loop fasteners.

The mildew resistant BedRug foam will not absorb liquids. The engineered polypropylene fiber top surface resists stains and deterioration from most acids, chemicals, gas and oils, etc. Therefore, by following the cleaning instructions below, your BedRug will remain serviceable for as long as you own your vehicle.

Cleaning your BedRug is easy:

1. A vacuum, broom, brush or compressed air can be used to remove dirt, grime, sand, mulch etc. Due to the fact that water will not harm the BedRug, pressure washing is also an effective way to clean a soiled BedRug.

2. Although most acids will not harm the BedRug, baking soda should be applied immediately to neutralize the acid to ensure the safety of the paint on the vehicle.

3. To clean tougher jobs such as gasoline, oil, chemicals, acid spills or leaks from your BedRug use detergent soap with degreaser and water, then rinse thoroughly. This detergent soap is used in most car wash locations with pressure washing equipment. The BedRug polypropylene closed-cell foam will not absorb water and the polypropylene fiber dries in minutes.
