What do you guys recommand for carpet replacement in a 98 Sahara. I looking to replace it with the same colored carpet. Is there any brands that stand out as being the superior choice?
 
The BedRug is pretty good. I'm going to go with the BedTred in about a month. The BedRug is carpet...BedTred is same company but its not carpet and easier to clean.
 
I have a Moss Green '97 Sahara. I just installed ACC Essex carpet sourced from Rockauto.

I ordered free carpet samples straight from ACC's website, but the carpet kit itself is significantly cheaper from Rockauto than ordering straight from ACC.

My original carpet was gone, so I just used the samples to pick a shade that complements the console and sport bar covers. I went with 1004A Cream and I'm very happy with it, but I have no idea how close it is to the original carpet color.

Carpet was easy to install, but I had my seats out already. Fit is pretty good and I think warmer weather will help it settle in even better.

Love those Moss Green Saharas! Good luck!

I just ordered the cream as well. The original carpet for ours is medium camel and the cream was closest in color. We did add the mass backing (45mil thick) for sound deadening and temp control. We also got matching floor mats from ACC with the Jeep logo embroidered on them. Bought ours from summit racing. We had ordered the samples as well. That Essex carpet is NICE! Can’t wait for it to arrive!
 
Good to know! I just ordered a few samples last night and was about to request cream, but didn't. Guess I will be ordering more, looks great from the pic!

Ditto on the seat covers too, they look great.

Those are technically not seat covers. I ordered Katzkin leather upholstery and installed it a few weeks ago. It requires you remove the original upholstery rather than cover it. My cushions are pretty worn, so the bottom of the driver's seat is a bit loose. I built them up as best I could using some layered fabric. If I could find new seat bottom cushions, I'd definitely buy them.

I bought the Katzkins from Affordable Auto Leather. The owner is very active on some Toyota forums I am on. I reached out to him and he was awesome to deal with.

Just got the carpet yesterday. We will start the install this week. Here are some pics for comparison. It is nicer then what is coming out and nicer than my 2018 Touring Outback. Very impressed.

I have an acc carpet in my Cutlass and love it. Color match was perfect. I just wish they had something a bit closer for '98 Sahara's. Looks good, but I want OEM.

I think they did have some that were closer but when we ordered samples my wife liked the ESSEX carpet better than the standard so that changed the color pallet for us. Since we had changed the seats from fabric to leather we are off the "keeping original" platform. It is a pavement princess/light trails JEEP. Its her DD.
