Are seat covers worth it?

[Rubi_Rhod]

But I did get headrest back today. W/. Logo on it.

I really dig your Jeep. Its an awesome branded and themed work truck!

Also, I didn’t look into the Bartact. But as someone that has both, what has you liking the PRP better? They look pretty sharp.



I was familiar with PRP having wanted some custom seats made for my dune buggy. So when I saw they offered covers for the gladiator, I just kinda jumped straight there. I really dug the style, material choice and general seat construction.

Thank you !

Man I really like the covers. I really like the material & Molle back.
I guess it’s just the fitment. & I think someone in a post pages back. Said same thing. Maybe it’s the being rushed or behind with the carona bs. But I just thought it would fit better. I’ll take some pics that show what talking about. & maybe I just had higher hopes. Or the long wait got to me. But. Yea. I just thought it should fit tighter / better than it does.

& maybe once I go through & re tighten it and adjust. It’ll start to be more smooth.
But my wife’s just seem to fit better. & the pic of the prp. On the previous page. His back seats. Look better than mine. Fitment wise.

Or maybe I suck at installing covers ! Very possible.

Actually, I think you did everything right! It’s actually just a “feature” of cordura. It’s impressively tough, but it does not like to be anything but flat. I have a big beast of a dog, So I was looking at Cordura from PRP but while they offer it, they don’t recommend it for their style and cut of cover.

I have to say, those covers you got are impressive fir for that material use. It’s not easy to sew and get to fit so they did craft a quality cover that looks as good as you are gonna get for ultimate protection.

Well maybe I’m being too picky. But I do like. & it fits my Jeep look. So I’m happy.
I’ll go through & touch up a bit. & see how looks again.

& yes. I got 3 Dobermans. & they def not allowed in wifeys. But I have no problems with them in mine with these.

& once I bedline interior. Basically indestructible. Lol

Those look awesome now that they are complete. Being made out of cordera how do they feel overall? I have seen a lot of complaints about neoprene

My PRP seat covers finally came in and I got them knocked out in a couple of hours with plenty of water breaks between cursing. Straight forward install. It was tedious however moving around the rear passenger compartment at time.

How are you liking the white? I'm probably going to order them for my JL, but I'm thinking about getting dark gray or black for the back of the fronts to hide dirt and scuffs a little better.

Seatshield covers are great for after a bike
ride, fishing trip, the gym, etc... And then just slide off for those date nights.

This looks like an inexpensive option that may be useful for “chore days”.
Easy on/off, and easy storage. Just roll them up and put under the seat.

looking over them now. Almost to many options there. See some cool combos just wish they had more of an OD green or something closer to gator in color.

the camo cordura might be cool. I went dark grey vinyl on the body, light grey suede inserts, then went red prp logo, red stitching and red carbon shoulder marks to tie into the red accents of the rubicon. Kinda wanted it to look as if it could have been factory.

Sounds like a really cool combo you built there. I am actually trying to de-rubicon my rubicon as part of the covers. lol. I am probably removing my lettering, repainting the dash and was hoping for seat covers to tie it all together.

I don’t blame you. I’m in between. I’m lessening the rubicon. Hood sticker is coming off and I’ll probably have the dash wrapped but leaving some small red accents here and there just as an accent color.

I really wonder why they went with the red on all colors the way they did. Gator gets away with it some due to being brownish, but when I see it on sarge green all I can think is christmas.
