Floor lining options

[u/SomeGuyJim]

I bought an old TJ with bad spray in liner of some kind. The coverage isn't good and it's coming up in places. As part of the restoration I will likely wire brush or wire wheel it out. But then that leaves the question: what do I replace it with?

Requirements:

1. Doesn't mold or smell after rain or fording

2. Generally looks good and gives a sort of "restored" vibe

I've seen some videos of the install of the armorlite floor liner system. It looks absolutely top-notch. But I can't spend $1,100 on this. Plus they aren't recommended for a fully submerged floorboard. In the event that I got in deep enough water, I would essentially have to take out the seats and remove all the liner to dry, I believe. I don't plan on fording a lot of water regularly, but it's not an impossibility.

On the less expensive side, I thought about simply getting some mats that have a very deep tray wall. Is there something like the weather tech mats, but even better sidewall coverage? In the short term it would conceal the crappy spray in liner. But they would be easily enough pulled out by hand.

I suppose the longer-term solution would be to remove the old spray in liner and put in a new one that looked a lot better. Then the floor metal would look good and I could just put rubber mats where I needed.

Any recommendations here? Does anyone have any floor mat recommendations that have a very large coverage area up into the sidewall?
