Just installed my CoverKing Kryptek Highlander Tactical Neosupreme seat covers in the front. Back hasn't come in yet. Pretty happy with them during and after install. Also installed my molle hydration pack, going to work on hose placement later.

Are these US made?

The seat covers are definitely, can't find anything on the hydration pack where it was manufactured. It's a Red Rock Outdoor Gear Molle Hydration Pack. got mine from Amazon, fairly cheap. People say the bladder is cheap, some say it's fine, they all say the molle carrier is worth it on its own though. I'm sure you can find a 100% american made one for a lot more though if you look for a moment.

Picked up 5 2017 willys rims & tires really cheap, so I flipped my tires & even the spare so now I have 5 matching wheels and 5 extra sensors as well which will go on my summer rims & tires when they arrive..

@jeeporama is on the JL site, Cool guy to work with and has made plugs for me too.

I had him make a left and right version.

Edit to add I trimmed the bottom of the mat and plug so the mat would lay flat on the floor then glued the plug into the mat.

He does such a great job with these I ended up buying 3 sets because I couldn’t make up my mind lol

Installed PRP seat covers. Very pleased with the quality, feel and fit. Now my son wants a set for his JLUR.

Looks great! I didn’t realize you could keep the factory seat backing exposed! That just bumped seat covers to the top of my wish list. How would you rate the tweed vs pleather against water or ease of cleaning mud?

Yes, with regular spray cans.

I can speak to mine. My covers were the test cut for PRP, they used my seats for the pattern for gladiators. I’ve now had them 8+ months and over 8500 miles they are like new. I’ve done a ton of off-roading with the top and doors off, I have an infant now 11 months old. The week after my seat covers were finished I left for a 21 day, 2,800 mile road trip/overland trip. At the time my daughter was 4 months old, so you can bet the back seats have seen abuse. Both tweed and leather both are doing great. I was initially worried about the tweed, but I’m not worried now. I’m positive it’ll hold up easily for 3-5 years, in which case I am sure I have gotten my money out and will replace them as needed with new prp seat covers again. For cleaning obviously the vinyl is a simple wipe, but the tweed has been nice also.

I’ve had pleather covers in the past. They are definitely easier to clean. But it can get very hot. And my wife complains about sticking to it. First time with the tweed. It’s soft, doesn’t get hot and no sticking. A little water on a towel and it cleans up pretty well. No one type is perfect. I chose comfort and looks.

Jeeporama is the guys name in the [Banned Site] forum

He qouted me $40 for two. Are they made out of Unicorn horn tears?

They look 3D printed. I would imagine the economy to scale with that process is not there if he is actually looking to make a profit charging cheaper.

Filament has also been in short supply lately. Not sure what's going on there, but most of the suppliers recently have been out of stock. Could be they have to print using unicorn tears at this point.

I just noticed, you have a matching armrest. That's awesome! Is that something they offer now? I don't think it was an option when I bought mine a year ago.

Those look killer. I was sold on bartact, but PRP is looking pretty good about now. I like how the stock panel on the back stays exposed too; it looks clean, and that's plenty of space for me to mount a multi tool and a couple of small odds and ends. Personally, I think the full molle on the bartact is a little overkill.

How was the install? Anything you'd do differently regarding them?

Edit: Are they made in the U.S. as well?
