I don't have a picture right now but I have time to post about this. I was gifted a set of those weather tech like floor mats that cover most of the floor in your vehicle and they seemed nice they fit real snug cover the whole foor area nice.

They also stick your throttle at wot as you bang shift a load of gravel up a hill trying to figure out what is wrong with your throttle cable when your pedal is wedged to the floor because of how our pedals tilt up and down at least in bricknoses.

Scary stuff. Gonna sand it flat there in all the little ribbed areas.

I hear you should lay them out in the sun for a day first.
But.... to anyone buying, look at husky liners. Getting better reviews for fitment.

Cabelas floor mats do the same thing, thankfully idi’s don’t make enough power to get out of hand at full fuel lol

Depends ... my cheap a** floor mat ('93 IDIT) got tangled up with the foot feed during a "high speed" pass ... damned near ran up the tail pipe of a new Cadi' passing the same nut.

Would have been one expensive "cheap a**" mat!

look at husky liners

I appreciate that ... I'll look. I'm currently running "commando" (regarding carpet protection).

I have half of a vinyl coated wire loom clamp screwed to the floor to hold the mat down due to this very issue. Slides right under it when installing floor liner and keeps it out of reach of the throttle pedal.
