Hello CB,

First time posting on this forum. Located in south MS. My dad bought our 77 Bronco in 1989 and have kept it garage kept for the majority of its life. Its the vehicle I first learned to drive in when I was 7 years old. I am trying to keep it original as possible and wanting to do a few minor upgrades. Awhile back, I sent the wild horses front to back rubber floor mat item# 3296 but I can no longer find it on their site. I guess they discontinued it? Any other similar options out there?

Trying to figure out how to attach pictures on here as well.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome aboard!
If you become a contributor to the site (cost $12 per year), you can post pics.
We love pics! I think there's other ways to post pics like photobucket etc, but becoming a contributor supports this site.

There's an old string here about where to get rubber floor mats, might give you some food for thought.

Hey sf, welcome! I don't see it either, but if it's the relatively new 2-piece OE style floormat (I hardly ever remember the numbers, so if they're not on the site I'm often lost!) then it may just be out of stock on a long-term backorder. When that happens we will usually remove it temporarily from the website so we don't have customers ordering until we have something to tell them about ETA's and such.

But I don't know for a fact that's the case this time. I just see that we still have the base model front-only section of that part #3232 (https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/OEM-Front-Rubber-Floor-Mat-with-Bronco-Script/Bronco_Carpet) still listed.
At first I thought that was the front half of the full coverage model, but I see now that it's just the basic one that's mostly smooth textured with some ribs. And not the rough textured one that came on the Sport models.

We waited a long time for that one, so hopefully we don't have to wait as long this time for more to arrive.
I'll check though, to see if we have any ETA info from the manufacturer.
In the meantime, is there a problem already with the one you ordered previously? Or did you not actually get one previously?

A phone call never hurts...

Now you've got me thinking. After re-reading it sounds like you bought this a long time ago possibly? If so then the full length mats were likely those from ACC (auto custom carpets) and though it was a great resource, the number of people that were at least slightly dissatisfied with them was fairly large.
Nice idea, but it took a lot of extra effort in some cases to keep them from getting all poochy around corners and edges. LOTS of work to make them sit flat and look good in other words.

But as with most things, it might just have been that it wasn't left out in the sun long enough, or was left out too long, or there were some edges to trim and folks didn't like that. Whatever, I remember lots of grumbling about them out here.
Don't remember hearing any complaints about the new Sport mats, but they haven't been out there that long, so maybe there are lots of them still in the boxes and not in the Broncos yet.
Let us know which one it is you're after.

As it turns out, the new full coverage textured Sport floor mats are out of stock at the manufacturer with an unknown ETA. Apparently the first batch sold pretty good!
They'll go back up on the website once we have some sort of firm ETA or actually seen them pull up in a delivery truck.

Be nice if the next batch has some Parchment ones too!

Are parchment mats in the works?

Not sure. The claim that Parchment mats were on the way is at least ten years old now. And I'm not really sure that the suppliers ever used "Parchment" in their descriptions. They just said "Sport Mats" and we all assumed parchment, because few of us (if any?) had ever seen a black one before.
So when they finally arrived and were black instead of parchment, there were a few happy dances, but mostly frustration at having to wait even longer for something that might not even be in the works.

Seems like during one of the discussions someone mentioned talking to someone who said that someone else thought that parchment versions were coming, but I don't remember who, what, when, where or why about it.
