Driver's side rock rail has a rolled up carpet. Carpet is rolled around a 1" PVC pipe and is velcro'ed to the rail. There's another one on the other side.
As mentioned in this thread previously, my bed is on top of the jeep. I climb the spare tire rack to enter. But any dirt that is on me when I climb up ends up in the bed. So I have the carpet that I spread out at the back of the jeep. This gives a relatively clean place to stand and take off shoes and generally dust off prior to climbing into bed. And it's just generally nice to have a clean surface to put things on or to put under your chair. On extended camp outs the dirt gets to me after a while.
The other (identical) carpet goes under the shower and provides a clean surface to stand on.
I choose the rock rail location since the bottom of the carpet gets dirty and there just isn't a good place inside or on top for a dirty carpet. It's relatively easy to roll the carpet up on the PVC pipe and attach to the rail. Pack up is usually where you get the dirty-est and this storage method mostly limits the dirt to just dirty hands that can be washed off.
One problem is that the front wheels will toss significant mud onto the carpets. Next improvement is a bag to cover them.
Thanks for noticing!
