Used this set up to keep the carpet from moving around while gluing.

where did you have to trim it and how much?

I like the black door hardware. I painted mine silver but yours looks much better.

The new carpets length and width was smaller than the original piece of carpet, and since I made a copy of the original tailgate card it was to big. What I did was laid the carpet over the door card and just traced the true carpet size onto the card and that did the trick. It could have just been a rookie that sewed mine up. Yours might fit just fine. It's late, I hope I answered your question.

really nice work !

I know it is fun having Jake help you.

I really like that jig you made
to hold carpet in place while glueing.

Found a low profile speaker cover for the hole in my dash. Started drilling some holes and broke a drill bit and put another crack in the pad. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. Just keep moving forward.

Looks great from this side.

Like a bull in a China shop.

Hard to see from this angle.

Also made a little bracket for the tailgate relays I mounted under the Wagoneer.

Once I put my spare in,you won't be able to see it.

I'am going to try and install the trailer hitch tomorrow. I cleaned all the hardware and painted it tonight.
