    So, how about a 2 month update on those rubbermaid floor mats. Still please? Are they staying put? Was there a model number or what it will fit kind of hint?
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    loving them! i havent had them move much at all and they have saved my floor definitely. I was carrying some plants on the front floor board when someone came to a dead stop for no reason in front of me.. spilled a full 6" diameter potted plants worth of soil onto the mat, all i had to do was pull the mat out, dump it and take it to a pressure washer for cleaning, they have held up fantastic.

    I dont know the model number or anything i just know they were hanging on the shelf at wal-mart, i saw gray and clear ones the other day too

    went ahead and bought the weathertech ones and got them in today, figured the truck would get dirty from hiking and tailgating at football games (however, don't know how much more of that I'll be doing in the near future once the young ones get here....)
    seem to be well made and I think they have a 10 year warranty, but the driver's side doesn't fit as well as I hoped, especially with their advertising about "precision cut for your vehicle", the dead pedal is the culprit and part of the mat overflows on to the pedal, it's not awful and I'm not sure if it will be an issue as I've not driven it enough, just a little disappointing given their claims as well as the price involved

    Recommendations for Newb?

    Howdy there - I'm buying my VX this weekend and my top priority is finding a good set of all weather mats to protect the carpets. I guess it would be too much to expect Isuzu still sells any OEM stuff - but is there something else out there that you guys recommend that fits/works well? The weathertech mats above are ok, but it looks like they're clear maybe? I'd rather have something dark gray or black maybe, even if I have to cut.

    Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    Hey!
    I went to WalMart when I picked up the Dragon in Reno. They did not have a huge selection, but I settled on a rubbermaid version. It was not until about a week later that Irealized they matched the front grill:

    Attachment 712

    Attachment 713

    I think I paid 32 bucks for the set of two fronts and two rears.

    How about cargo area mats? The back area has kind of a unique shape; does anybody know of a brand that fits well?

    Ditto. I just got my set yesterday, and the fit on the front pair is pretty rough. I do like the look of them though (kinda neat that the mat design forms a "V"), though I'll probably cut mine to fit a little better later on.

    Unfortunately the rear set doesn't come close to fitting at all. I'm going to re-live art class later this afternoon and cut them to fit, but yeah, I was super disappointed that the design was that bad. I figure I'll email WeatherTech later today just to let them know that they need to stop advertising rear mats for the VehiCROSS before they get sued for false advertising. The fit is truly that bad.
