Jeep boot liner information

If you're a Jeep owner, chances are you're used to heading out into rougher terrain. You might take regular walks through the muddy countryside with your canine companion, or enjoy wild camping with a tent and other heavy gear. You may also use your Jeep for transporting cargo like tools and paints, or other things that could transfer dirt or damage the interior of your car boot.

Whether you're into outdoor recreation or extreme DIY, you will more than likely need a liner to protect your boot from muddy paws, dirty equipment or general wear and tear. In this article, we will compare manufacturer-made Jeep boot liners with custom-made liners from Hatchbag so you can see which is the better option for your vehicle.

Manufacturer-made boot protection

The manufacturer-made boot protection options are standard protective mats and cargo trays for the boot of your Jeep. Mats are made from carpet materials whereas trays/liners are typically a semi-rigid rubber. They are sometimes included with the purchase of your vehicle or may be available separately, and are usually designed for specific models. This means they are moulded to fit the contours of your vehicle’s boot and should not move around while you drive.

Pros	Cons
Often branded with the Jeep or specific model logo	Very basic design
Sometimes designed for the specific model of the car	Can be difficult to replace as they are commonly available from a dealer only
Easy to install	Generic, standardised products with no customisation options for additional accessories
	Only protect the floor of the boot, not the walls and rear seats

Floor mats

There are a few different generic floor mats for Jeep Cherokee, Compass, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler and Renegade vehicles. These carpeted mats protect the floor of your boot from small liquid spills and offer some protection against pet damage. However, they leave the walls and the rear seats exposed, and the materials used are not built for lasting protection.

Pros	Cons
Usually tailored for specific Jeep models	Won’t contain large spills or extensive dirt and grime
Some available with a protection lip which folds out; helpful for pets climbing in and out of the boot	No protection for the walls and backs of seats

Rubber liners/trays

These boot liners are more durable than the mats and offer extra grip to help keep items in place. The rubber is naturally water-resistant and the raised edges contain small liquid spills. Again, these are usually designed for specific models and are easy to install. While they do offer more protection than floor mats, rubber liners/trays are still vulnerable to damage from heavy-duty equipment and will not protect your boot walls or the back of your rear seats.

Pros	Cons
Water and skid-resistant	Boot walls and back of rear seats are left exposed
Contains small spills and protects against damage caused by pets	Will not contain large spills
	Not available for all Jeep models

Custom-made boot liners

Custom-made liners are individually produced to fit the precise proportions and contours of your boot. They are bespoke designs that provide the perfect protection for your boot floor, walls and the back of your rear seats.

Bespoke boot liners from Hatchbag are developed with the individual needs of Jeep owners in mind. We use high-quality reinforced PVC, meaning our liners will resist extremes of dirt, damage and spillage. Whether it's muddy boots or paws, or things like dirty tools and paints from DIY jobs, your car boot will benefit from a protection that is built to last a lifetime.

We offer a wide range of colours and additional customisation options and our boot liners can be easily removed for a quick clean every now and then. We know the precise measurements of the boots of every Jeep model, so just let us know your exact vehicle and we'll run you through your options.
