Hi JK-Forum,

First post but long time viewer, I know the brick headrest issue has come up in the past but I really need a replacement or cover before my wife leaves me!!!
I really don't want to purchase a whole seat cover but just wondering if anyone out there has any ideas?

When your done with your headrests, send them to me.

I've seen people put ones in from other Dodge Vehicles. I think it was the Chargers but I bet you can find a lot that will fit.

I took mine out and put them back in backwards. Now it doesn't hit my wife in the back of the head. MAde the front seat a lot quieter

Change wife's.

Gravel Gertie

I have a back problem so I need the seat to sit straight up and as a result my head bumps the hard head restraint with every bounce. I solved my problem by going to Wal Mart (or any craft/fabric store) and purchased "polyester quilt batting". It is very inexpensive. I measured the head rest (head restraint - I know, I know that is the proper term) and cut some pieces to layer over it to cover it with a soft surface. I then sewed a simple cover from scrap cloth to slip down over the entire headrest to hold the polyester padding in place. I didn't even bother to close the bottom of the slip cover (it is hemmed to finish off the edges so it doesn't look crude). I is very comfortable now and I don't even notice it when my head bumps it occasionally. It is also nice to use now when I want to relax and my DH drives.

This sounds like a Basement Builders Craft idea to me. Make a few of those to sell Gertie and you could buy more jeep parts.

I replaced my front headrest with a pair from a 2008 Dodge Ram with matching interior color.
