June 11, 2025
If you're restoring or upgrading your classic Jeep CJ7, replacing the carpet is one of the most effective ways to refresh the interior and improve comfort. Whether you’re reviving a daily driver or completing a full restoration, Factory Interiors offers high-quality, molded replacement carpet kits designed specifically for 1976–1986 Jeep CJ7 models.
In this guide, we’ll cover the benefits of replacing your CJ7 carpet, available upgrades, material options, and how to get the perfect fit for your rig.
Why Replace the Carpet in Your CJ7?
The Jeep CJ7 is a trail-proven legend—but decades of use take a toll on the interior. Carpet often shows the most wear, from:
- Trail dust and mud
- Moisture and corrosion
- UV fading and dry rot
Installing a new molded carpet kit brings instant benefits:
- Cleaner, more finished appearance
- Improved sound and heat insulation
- Increased resale value
- Protection for the steel floor pan
Precision-Molded for 1976–1986 Jeep CJ7 Models
Every CJ7 carpet kit from Factory Interiors is molded to the exact contours of the original CJ7 floor pan, ensuring a proper fit from firewall to rear cargo area. These kits are made to work with all factory wheelbase and floor dimensions.
Note: Cutouts for seat brackets, seat belts, shifters, roll bars, and other hardware will need to be made during installation to ensure a clean, custom fit to your Jeep’s specific setup.
