Desert dust—damn Bartact seat covers!

[Irun]

There is no suspension part of the seat I am aware of. They mount right to the stock seat rails and they are meant as a daily driver seat, hence the lack of large bolsters, which are a pain in the butt to get in and out of.

Weird. According to their description: "An all-new suspension seat recliner with Elite Series styling."

The suspension aspect is inside the seat.

it is a suspension seat in that you aren't sitting on coils but rather material that is suspended from one side of the seat frame to the other

Not exactly what I was expecting, i.e. webbing and parachute chord.

Maybe a try a leaf blower while the kids beat on the seats.

That's what I did at the end of this season. I went on a tear one afternoon & decided to do a nice deep clean. I used a leaf blower to get all the shit out from under the seats & blown out, then I used an airgun with my compressor to blast air into the upholstery while my daughter smacked it.

The filter idea isn't bad, when I put my airgun into one of the vents & pulled the trigger a huge cloud of dirt shot out of all the other vents & from under the dash.

the way I look at it is if it's good enough for bombing through the desert at 100+mph in a trophy truck it's good enough for crawling around in a Jeep at 5mph

Here are several photos I took when I was in the PRP manufacturing facility here in SoCal, you can see the webbing and elastic components that make up the suspension part of the seat. This is the Daily Driver model I have, others are similar.

Do you get more support and less movement as compared to factory seats?

lf those components can stay to gether when the canopy inflates after jumping out of an aircraft while carrying a fully loaded SEAL or other military combat team member carrying a combat load right at 300 lbs. it's good enough for me while driving around on offroad trails.

For sure. Plus they're so comfortable you aren't constantly squirming around trying to get comfortable. I flop in, straighten out, strap in, and go.

After my last Moab trip I was starting to feel the need for new seats. Be nice to have before TJ fest.

I strongly suggest you not select the 'piping' option when making your order. Piping is that round vinyl part sewn into the seams between the sections of material and it doesn't hold up. PRP no longer recommends either it for that reason.

Thanks, I won’t

I've used it in some of those situations, so I'm more familiar with it than most. FWIW, I didn't say it was bad. Simply not what I was expecting.

I decided I am just going to get these things in vinyl / synthetic leather:
