Re: Seats for my CJ?
 

I put in BesTop seats front and back in my CJ-7, and I've been a little
disppointed in them. The construction didn't look as good as I expected
from them. The seams were pulled apart a little in some spots, and the
material didn't even cover the foam completely near the bottom. They ride
great, though. 100% better than stock. I had a similar experience with a
roll bar (sport bar) cover, the material was much thinner than the one I
replaced, it ripped easily, and didn't fit well. My guess is that they make
the soft tops, but the other products are made somewhere else without the
quality their tops have. Just my opinion.

Re: Seats for my CJ?
 

Their seats & other items are made offshore and are of spotty quality.
However the seats are generally good values and seem to durable. I put a set
in a CJ5 resto project and have been very please with the comfort and wear
characteristics.
