Husky Brand Floor Liner Sources?

A

Accumulator

Well-known member
I'll soon be without the beater-Blazer and the places we take the dogs are often nasty-muddy. Next winter will be even worse. So I gotta protect some light gray interiors...



I need to get some good floor mats/liners for the Yukon, and I want ones that come up higher than the WeatherTech mats that I've used in other vehicles. AFAIK the Huskies are a good choice (other opinions welcomed!) and I was wondering where people here like to shop for such things :nixweiss



I'd love to get something similar for the MPV too; Husky doesn't make liners for it, only the rubber mats that look like the WeatherTech ones. Any suggestions?



Light gray interiors for dog-haulers... :hairpull
 
Danase- I have Weathertechs for other vehicles. They're OK for what they are but I want better coverage up the sides (if that makes sense...). Heh heh I think you missed this part of my post:

Patrick- Thanks, I'd seen AutoEverything but as best IIRC I've never ordered from them. Sounds like they did OK by you...

Excellent transaction as well as delivery time. Right up to par "with what I expect".....

I did a Honda Element with Huskys and they seemed very nice.

Good, hope they work out for me. Too bad they don't offer them for the MPV...I dunno what I'm gonna put in that. The dead-pedal area needs covered something awful.

Good enough recommendation for me :D That's why I started the thread, recommendations from people I respect sure beat just picking a vendor at random. Thanks again.
 
I got a pair of CatchAll Molded carpet liners for the front of my 06 Escape, and I love them!



They cover a whole heck of a lot better than the factor mats, and use the same mounting clips, in addition to adding one on the passenger side.



They are carpet, however made to be hosed off. They are rubber backed, so no loquid gets through, despite them being a carpet topped mat.



They are a bit on on the $$$ side, however come with a lifetime warranty.

We have Husky Liners in the wifes Z71 and love them. I think that we ordered them from Cabela's, as no one really had any great 'deals' on them. Cabela's was able to ship quickly.



Good luck,

Randy
 
ZimRandy- Glad to hear the Husky liners are good. Heh heh, Cabela's gets enough of my money on outdoor stuff :D so I think I'll use AutoEverything for this one. Thanks for the suggestion though.



EOppie- Thanks for that suggestion too. Those woulda been great for the MPV but they don't offer 'em for that vehicle :( The MPV is sorta an odd duck...not too much stuff available for it.
 
You can also try googling PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS.com They specialize in MB's, FORD's, Toyota's, Chevy's and I thin POrsche's are the last of it. The webnsite may be performanceproducts.com, but not positive. Probably not the best price but I would at least request a catalog and go from there.
 
So you are getting a Yukon? A new one I presume? I really like it from the few I have seen here. My dog died last spring :bawling:(I miss him so much) but I know how hard it is to keep an interior looking good when you have a dog. My biggest problem was that he scratched the paint on the door jambs. So putting some protecting film or tape on the painted surfaces helps prevent this. And rubber floormats make life much easier in the winter.

What kind of dog/dogs do you have?
 
Accumulator,



What are you getting for a new "dog hauler"? I'm still looking. We usually use the Honda Odyssey, but I've been thinking about getting rid of the Lexus GS and getting something else. Actually dropped the GS off the get serviced,and they gave me a new RX400h. It is different, but I REALLY like the get up and go of the new Lexus hybrids. I was pretty impressed overall.



Sam
 
Diesel1- Yeah, IIRC they sent me Porsche catalogs back when I was driving those. Somehow I must've gotten off their mailing list.



SamIam- Long-story-short: got new puppy to replace dog who died, also got puppy's 4-year-old uncle (rescue, abandoned at shelter :angry needed the right home, which we can provide)...so suddenly we needed something *big* for dogs and equipment, got Yukon XL Denali as it's sorta a "sport model" of the Suburban (without the Escalade's glitz-crap). 6-liter engine at least has decent pickup, it handles better than I woulda expected too. Nothing smaller woulda come close to fitting the bill and the new models don't have the step-bumper that the dogs need. As soon as the puppy gets a little bigger the Blazer is outta here and I dunno if they'll all fit in the MPV once he's full grown :nixweiss Upshot- gonna sell the M3 too (Blazer + M3 = Yukon).



The Lexus SUVs (even their big ones- got the Yukon at a Lexus dealer in NC) don't have the room *we* need, but if they're big enough for *you* then yeah...a lot of today's better SUVs will do anything a good car can do, and do it more than good enough for public roads (much as I hate to admit it ;) ). Heh heh, the pal who bought my dad's A6 4.2 off me gets more speeding tickets in her new RX than she did in the Audi :D
 
Yeah, the Lexus SUVs don't have near enough room for what you need. I need more of a crossover, will also look at the new GM models. There is certainly lots to look at. Trying to get a good ride and decent gas mileage (I drive 20K a year) is the challenge. I wish Saab still made the 9000 Aero. With the flip down rear seat, good ride, good mileage and amazing mid-range torque, it would fit what I want in spades.



What kind of dogs did you get?
 
SamIam- I've always kinda like Saabs (going back to the Sonnets), even though they always had too much torque steer for my taste. That 9000 Aero woulda been great with AWD :D



A friend from the Jag club really likes his new TrailBlazer SS, but I dunno about the MPG.



We got two more Beaucerons. It's the perfect breed for us, but apparently people are getting them without doing due diligence.. hence situations like the one ending up in a shelter. I had worried that AKC recognition might lead to this, but I'm hopeful that breeders will learn to be responsible about things. The breeder we went to this time (never met her before) certainly checked us out thoroughly before selling to us, which is a little reassuring.
 
I got BLOWN off the road by a TrailBlazer SS this week, while driving the 400h at about 80mph. I figured I'd run with him and but stayed far enough back he'd get the ticket. A very enjoyable 50 mile cruise.



I have NEVER seen a Beauceron in a shelter. Heck, I've neve seen one in real life. Cool dog, from what I know and what you've suggested. Let's hope they don't get to the place that GSDs got with bad hips and negligent breeding.



You still need to post a pick of your dogs though.
 
Patrick- Thanks for the correction, for once my procrastination paid off :D I'll hit them up when I'm ready to order. I do want to patronize somebody who'd done right by you.



SamIam- Yeah, the TrailBlazer SS is pretty hot, and there are a lot of mods for them.



I fear that as more people find out about the Beauceron more of 'em will end up in shelters. Considering how rare the breed it, the fact that there's an active breed-rescue network tells ya something :(



While they're great dogs for *us*, they're (to use a detailing analogy ;) sorta the rotary/twisted wool pads of herding breeds, if you get my drift. The people who originally had our rescue thought their experience with GSDs and Rotts would translate over...wrong.



I *will* get some pics up some day, Accumulatorette is filling CDs with shots of them and sending them to our pals in the Beauceron community anyhow.

Hi Accumulator, I know you said you mentioned WeatherTech. Their office is a couple miles from me and I just stopped in to see what was new. They had a new mat with sides that came up about 2 1/2 inches. They said it's a new mat so there are few applications at the moment. Why don't you try giving them a call. It may not be up in their website yet.
