This would be ideal. I guess I'll just have to have you outboard my shocks so I can sit in your Mastercraft seats. And, Chris lives close enough to me that I can hassle him without just cause.
Mastercraft vs PRP seats (pros and cons)
- Thread starter MikeE024
- Start date
I have the Mastercraft Baja RS’s in one LJ and I’m 95% sure I’ll get a set for the other.
I’m just shy of 6’ but weigh about 140. Currently have 1.5” spacers in that I need to remove. Seats are too high, no spacers would be perfect. At your height you’d hit your head with the spacers in.
I have the newer material and it seems very durable, no animals to test on mine.
I’d get pictures but it’s in my storage unit for now.
@mvigo and @DaveF sat in them they may have an opinion
@SvtLdr also has a set and maybe he can say more.

If you ever want to swing by and sit in mine, you’re always welcome to.
I'm certainly game to check the seats out as well as how your suspension feels with the Mrblaine outboarded and Wayne tuned shocks.
Just need to get my transmission in order first.
I’d have to go sit in them to answer. I generally don’t drive with my head against the rest. From memory it’s about right but I’ll have to go check and I may be able to swing by later this week.
I have called and they’ve had great service. You could call and get some advice and measurements. Me having no ass helps me sit lower for my height.
As @mrblaine says it’s ideal to sit in some. Everyone is made different.
Yes, from what I read I would likely need to get the +2 if I go taller.
Reasoning:
Currently, for my stock passenger seat, I have 1.5" spacers so my dog can see over the dash and the top of the seat rubs the mesh canopy when folding the seats forward. This caused me to be mindful of height constraints, which I previously never considered.
For that reason, I don't expect +4 to be a viable option for me (when also considering that the 03-06 bracket is listed as a height increase of 1/2") because I don't want major interference issues hindering me from folding/reclining the seats.
I figured that might be the case. Guess I’ll start looking for a tan dash in good shape.
Both my seats ‘06 fold forward no clearance issues with that 1.5” spacer in.
The lever with the mastercraft adapters hits my seatbelts bases on the door side, it’ll be worse when I lower them. I need to figure out a workaround for that. In the installation video on YouTube the guy reverses that lever and never says anything, I installed the lever both ways and neither is great. @mrblaine may have input on those levers if he used them.
But I will also say, these seats are way better than factory. Going back to factory in my 2nd LJ was a significant step back. These seats aren’t significantly harder to get in due to the side bolster either, like other options.

, does anyone know what this cracked part is called or know a wise place to look for this part?
I’ve usually seen it referred to as the defrost vent trim. eBay has it, I bet Davy’s jeeps does too.Piggybacking on the offtopic discussion

I too would call that the defrost vent trim panel.Piggybacking on the offtopic discussion

I didn't see khaki specifically listed for that part, but I found saddle tan. Are those the same?
Nope, those are totally different in color. Saddle tan is very bright
Perfect, thanks for the help!Nope, those are totally different in color. Saddle tan is very bright
I'll go with agate if I don't see khaki soon. Might just go that way regardless.
Edit: Using the search function to research dash colors, it appears that dark slate and agate are so close in looks that I could go with either option.

I sat in both and went with Mastercraft Baja RS because they fit me better.
