Need to redo or replace the front seats in my 2005 Tj. Looking for suggestions. This is a daily driver and hunting Jeep.

I just ordered a set of PRP Daily driver seats for my Jeep. They said 4 week wait time due to the kung flu and I'm about 2 weeks into the wait. I'll be sure to post lots of pictures and a review when I get them. It was a big leap to order them without sitting in them but I don't know of anyone local that had them to look at first.
Replacement with junk yard seats is inexpensive and easy to do. I've installed Hyundai Tiburon seats in 3 Jeeps and am happy with them.

Got these covers from quadratec, about 150 bucks. If your seats are in decent form, this is cheaper and quicker than new seats.

Tec Style cloth seat covers from Quadratec, grey and black. Took less than an hour to put them on, and they fit the orig TJ seats snug. I did not want the neoprene since I've heard/read they get funky and stink, and they fade. I've only had these on for a week but so far really like them, been complimented a few times too. Another cool feature is that they have holes for the highback pull straps and the seat adjustment levers on the bottom seat. Another thing I did last year was to install some spacers to lift the driver seat a little, since my seat cushion was kinda worn/soft, and now it has me sitting just right for my height. Very happy with the seats now!

Search Facebook Marketplace. I bought a set of Corbeau Baja RS's with the TJ brackets for $300. Justed needed a little elbow grease cleaning.

These are factory Rubicon seats I found in Everett. A nice short drive from PDX. https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/ptd/d/lynnwood-jeep-wrangler-tj-front-bucket/7111051611.html
How long have you had 'em? The drivers seat is already split the full height of the seat cushion.

Those are pics of the original 20 year old seats with the split, the covers are gray and black, the last pic!
How long have you had them? Wondering how they're feeling in the eastern NC sun and heat. What's the swamp ass factor on a scale of 1 to soaked?

LOL, I've only had them for a little over a week but had some seat time in it yesterday with top down in mid-80s temps. They breathe well since they are cloth, so they feel similar to the stock seats. Yesterday's swamp ass factor was prly a solid 2, very little. I got these covers expressly for the humid NC summers, so will have to see how they hold up when it gets to 100dF!How long have you had them?

Bartact seat covers. Of course only if it's the outer material that's coming apart. If your base foam is trash, then take it to a upholstery shop to rebuild the foam, etc.

I know the CalTrend covers are fine in the heat. At least on the few 90+* days of high humidity we had last year. Swamp factor was good. Seemed to allow plenty of air. Weave tight enough to repel water tho.
