3) sometimes heat on a sore back is a good thingI did the seat heaters for two reasons; 1) to get the hardtop off earlier each year and to keep it off longer. The mornings can be cold, so this will help.
2) They make my wife’s ass hot!

My heater elements just arrived, I can't wait to get them in. Nice work!
Squirrel!Wow that looks awesome. It's so clean.
All of you installing seat heaters has me thinking about it now too. Damn like I don't have enough things to do. But it sounds like a nice function for cooler mornings.
I've had my seat heaters for three years ...I really should install themI did the seat heaters for two reasons; 1) to get the hardtop off earlier each year and to keep it off longer. The mornings can be cold, so this will help.

Just sold my factory seats that I had added heaters to, I should have pulled the heaters and gave them away for shipping since I didn't get much for the seats. Too late now.
Back to the build.
The BedRug install uncovered more crap tHan I wanted to step in. I didn’t like that the bolts from underneath the JCR sliders came up through the floor and rubbed holes in the carpet. Additionally they were all loose. I tightened them all down for now, cut all the bolts off flush with the nuts and ground off all the edges to make sure there were no sharp corners.
The BedRug fit is a 8 or 9 out of 10, which is good. I only had to trim very small places. The Jeep is so much cleaner looking and I’m totally pleased with this product so far.
WeatherTech Floor Liners for the front and rear footwells are scheduled for delivery today. This was a big step toward a luxury Jeep.

Looks great. The bed tread on mine took quite a bit of trimming.Back to the build.

The seat 
heaters are an awesome addition. I planned to use two fuse taps, 10A each, one for each side, but the subwoofer fuse was on all the time (which I remembered later from the Rubi I once had), so that plan didn’t work. I looked at all the other options and the only one I could use was the 20A and that was the rear wipers. I am wired for use, but I don’t use them so I robbed it and wired both into the same 20A tap. Cleaned the wiring up and secured out of the way. Turned out nice. Very happy. In the process I taped all my wiring for my powered sub down in logical locations. It’s much better than wires just wandering everywhere.

Placement of the switches was pretty limited. The most obvious place was in front of the parking brake on the vertical slope that leads up to the shifter bezel. I like the look of the two fairly close together. When you measure to cut these holes you want to make sure you measure from the red line above and not the blue line, Since the blue line actually slopes downward you’re measuring from the surface of the bezel platform to get them level. Looks good to me. Very pleased.
You should install the seat heaters. They are nicer than I expected. Your wife and the bulldog will like them!

Was the BedTred easy to trim? The BedRug was very easy, almost to the point you worry it might tear!
The WeatherTech Cargo Mat arrived. It’s very functional and gives a lot of coverage, even under the seat for about 12”. Looks like the rest of the floor liners are scheduled for tomorrow.
Now it looks like the seat belts need to be replaced or painted with some fabric paint. One change leads to another.

I used a fresh razor blade so it was very easy. I wasn't concerned about it tearing though.
When your fronts come in can you see if they have places on the bottom that might work to attach some velcro? Might be the answer for my situation if they could.The WeatherTech Cargo Mat arrived.

WeatherTech wants you to use the factory retention system, which is easy enough to do if you have the factory clips as seen in the first pic below. If not, I don’t see why some Velcro couldn’t attach to the bottom of the floor liners shown in the second pic. It’s mostly flat.
These WeatherTech floor liners fit snug as a bug in a rug. Here’s one of the rears. They are notched where they meet the seats and kind of latch onto them from underneath.
