Our picks for best floor mats for your 79 Series Landcruiser in 2026
The factory carpet in a 79 Series has a working life of months once the vehicle starts doing real work. Quality aftermarket floor mats protect the original carpet, contain spills and dust, and wipe clean in seconds. This guide covers the best options.
1. Mudtamer Heavy Duty Floor Mats
The 70 Series Store top seller. Injection-moulded TPE construction with raised edges to contain spills. Vehicle-specific patterns for Single Cab (1999-2007 1HZ era, 2007-2016 V8 pre-DPF, 2016-2023 V8 DPF, 2024-on facelift) and Dual Cab (2012-2023 V8, 2024-on facelift). $129.99 to $219.99 depending on variant. Best balance of price, fit and durability.
2. Sandgrabba
Australian-made nitrile rubber mats. Premium pricing ($250 to $400 per set) and excellent fit. The traditional choice for working vehicles where rubber's chemical resistance to diesel and hydraulic fluid matters.
3. Husky Liners
Premium TPE mats with deep contour and tall raised edges. $300 to $450 per set. Less common locally but available through specialist retailers.
4. Variant-Specific Fitment
Floor pan shape varies between Single Cab, Dual Cab and across the 2024 facelift transition. Confirm the correct variant when ordering. The 70 Series Store product pages list each variant by build year range.
5. Fitting and Care
Floor mats fit over the factory carpet (or over base-spec rubber floor on Workmate trim). No removal of factory carpet is required. Mats wipe clean with a damp cloth or hose off when removed from the vehicle. Replace as worn - typical life is 5 to 10+ years depending on use.
