Default which floor mats to get????

I need some floor mats, front and rear, and also rear cargo mat for my 2000 D2.
I see I can get genuine LR mats or I also see I can get aftermarket ones such as WeatherTech.
The LR mats seem pricey, but of course they should fit the best.

I want a good fit and something heavy that is not going to slide around or move.

What should I get and where can I get it?
Any pros/cons to aftermarket versions?
What are the board members using?

WeatherTech hands down, I have them and they not only fit great but they are very durable.
The floor in my cargo area looks brand new.

Are the Weathertech's a exact fit? Looked to me like it's their generic fit ones to me.

Yeah, if you look at photos of the stock mats vs. the WeatherTech, it appears they are a different cut.

The WeatherTech floor mats are a direct fit.
My truck came with them so I cannot compare them to the OEM ones.

I just bought them and was hoping they fit a little better. If you have the carpet floormat in your footwell you will see how it fits about perfectly. But the WeatherTech leaves about 2 inch gap on one side. Not perfect but, good. I wish they fit like the WeatherTech floor liners, but they do not make that option for our years. Sucks. So this is our best option, wished they fit a little wider.

I assume that you are not interested in carpet mats - but if you are - I have the Lloyd Mats from this place (front, rear and cargo):
2003 Land Rover Discovery Floor Mats

perfect fit and good quality

If you want carpeted floor mats go to a carpet store and buy some scrap remnants, cut to size and away you go.
I got tan to match the wifes car's interior, cost me $15 for 4.

In my truck I prefer the WeatherTech type because they hold mud and water to be dumped out on the ground and not let get soaked into the trucks carpet.
