Default I want aftermarket seats, but need help.

I have been thinking about this for awhile. I would by from Northridge but I need some more info before I make a decision. What would be the pros/cons of this? I was looking into the Corbeau red/black Baja SS seats but they are not reclining and they sell for $200 a seat which isn't bad. I want something thats comfortable and I can stand to sit in for a while on a long trip possibly 5 hours at times. I haven't been in my JK anymore than an hour mostly but Disney,OK is about 3 hours and I will be going back. If I got into this seat what about a back seat? are there any that would look good and be ok with the Baja seat in front. What about any sensors in my seat, I dont really think there is anything that would be a problem.

they make matching rear seats!
Not sure about the JK though.

I have a set of Beard seats in my TJ, I'm not even sure if they are still in business. They we're expensive, but very comfy for long rides. I would'nt hesitate to spend a little more on a better seat

Don't get me wrong I don't mind spending money on something that would be better in the long run. I don't want something I hate and that makes my back hurt and whoever else rides with me also. I just really like this seat but I would really consider more. I would hate to ride 45miles home in something that makes me feel miserable after a 24hour shift..lol. I didn't see a matching back seat to the Corbeau baja.


I can just reuse my stock seat brackets couldn't I? I have done that on many aftermarket seats.

I have Corbeau Baja seats in my TJ. They are hard to get into in a lifted Jeep. If I were buying seats again, I would buy something that reclines.

I like the look of the Corbeau Baja's but the fact that they dont recline does pose a problem, also for back seat passengers because the seat doesn't recline forwards. I like the look of the baja red and black seat more than the other Corbeau seats. What else is out there that would look good in a 4x4?

Try the Baja RS from them or from MasterCraft (about $300 each), they recline.

I also heard rumors that Mastercraft was working on a back seat cover like the one they make for the TJ. I want Baja RS's as well.
