When I got Libby with 174k, her cloth seats were in good condition but dirty. The leather steering wheel was coming apart, the carpet in the driver's well was badly worn, and the plastic panels in the cargo area were badly scratched. So off to my pull and save. Found a perfect leather steering wheel for $12.50, good condition rear wheel well panels for $14 each, cargo carpet for $9, and driver side front carpet quarter for $10. These used parts were in very good condition and make Libby look like a 75k mile vehicle. $60 well spent. Wife is well pleased with how well she looks but fears I am making her too nice to take off road! Good woman!
PS: Jeep cheapened the carpets in 2003. The 2002 models had plastic inserts molded into the carpet at wear points but these are gone in 2003. I cut the driver side 2002 carpet just behind the drive seat bolt cutouts. When I cut out the 2003 worn carpet out, I cut half way between the bolt holes and overlapped the carpet about 3". Did not have to remove console or side trim panels to install 2002 carpet - just pulled out old carpet and slid 2002 carpet under plastic panels. Looks really good. I am posting this to encourage upgrades to your interiors. Make you KJ as good as they can look inside for not much money and time.
