Thanks for the heads up. If any of my rich relatives die (before me) and leave me money, that will be #7 on my TJ upgrade list.
p.s. When I used to make a lot of money, I still didn't like throwing it away with mods with zero returns.

Its hard for me to let go of the stock seats with their little tilt and tumble function, when it works, which is a roll of the dice…

That percentage. How American of them. Should be 1776% off to be accurate though!

And what are Haernesses?

Free shipping is an American thing. Do they have that?

You could also keep the Jeep and benefit from the seats yourself?

You can still basically do both. You reach underneath and flip the tumble lever (cables were broken anyway) and then if you need more space you just flip the recline lever and let the seat back go forward.

Does your DD involve a vehicle that costs over $80,000? Just curious and depressed.

I forgot about that lever! Something fun to put on my “to do” list today!

My DD is a labor of love that turned out ok. It probably has 80,000 man hours invested in it. Obviously it’s a TJ with the obligatory check engine and low fuel light!

Could probably sell it for $9500.

That’s the way it works at the Federal Reserve. Get a job there and skim. No one will ever notice. They don’t notice now.

This forum will certainly help you spend money that you never intended to spend

It certainly piqued my curiosity. Seats are already on my to-do list, and these may be an option, but at the least I sent in for a quote.

Anticipating much sticker shock.

I did a similar upgrade on mine, but they used a different brand that I can;t remember tight now. I had already installed the Summit foam, so the installer just put the new skins on. Front and back was only about $1200 a couple years ago. Not as fancy as OPs, but such a great upgrade over the factory skins that were warn out, and not that much more than a nice set of covers. Totally worth the price. One of my favorite upgrades.

So far I've received 1 spam ad text and 2 spam emails from katskins since I sent a quote request 37 minutes ago... but no f-ing pricing yet.

That's why I don't understand companies that won't state their price. Do they not understand that fellers like me walk away when that's the only way to get a price? If they want me to even consider their product, they need to know that a hidden price is a big no for me.

It’s a lot, I’m never selling my jeep and just chalked it up to I want it so I’m going to do it and not look back but it makes zero financial sense.

I dont understand why no one has mentioned even a ballpark price on these. Why keep it a mystery?

I mentioned it in my post above. Right at $1200 for front and back leather seat skins installed.
