Reviews for Bestop TrailMax II Sport Front Seats in Fabric for 76-06 Jeep CJ-5,CJ-7,CJ-8 Scrambler & Wrangler YJ,TJ & Unlimited
Installed these in my brother's 2010, TJ, Sahara. The original seats were worn down to the metal frame. I needed the noted adapter for them but they are fantastic! They have brought new life to his Jeep!
Perfect Fit
I love these seats! One point to watch out for in assembly is when mating the top to the bottom. The seat bottom fabric stretches to the point that the holes in the fabric no longer line up with the hinge mount. It would be nice if they found a way to make this fabric area more stationary. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to aid in alignment and make a new hole if necessary.
Also, I read reviews of the seats being higher. Overall, the seat bottom is not higher, but the front of the seat bottom is higher, as the seats have a more reclined fit. I installed these with the Bestop seat risers, reusing my stock seat sliders. I will leave a review in those risers, also.
Ordered these a few months back and finally installed them today. What an amazing upgrade over the stock seats! These are nice and firm and really lock you in with great support. They do sit a little higher than stock as others have noted however I'm 6 feet tall with long legs and still have plenty of room under the steering wheel. They look fantastic too. I got the vinyl version with cloth inserts and the vinyl matches the roll bar material perfectly. 100% happy with these.
Easy fitment, easy directions, excellent quality out of the box. They do sit about an inch higher than originals but very comfortable. A good replacement for the originals.
So far so good! Great looking and comfortable. Not that I will ever need it, but reclines "waaaaaay" back!
Very well made. Fit base frames. Comfortable.
A 3 part review
The good - the seat (not seats) are of excellent quality and assembled very easily.
The known bad - the seats fit / mount different such that the front of the seat does sit a few inches higher. Being on the short side this was not a big deal and actually improved visibility.
The ugly - in spite of the "kit of 2 seats" showing in stock at the time the order was placed approximately 2 weeks ago I received only 1 seat and at this time have not been able to receive any ETA on the second seat. Buyer beware the stock indications don't seem to be terribly accurate on this site.
Very uncomfortable. Should have just kept the old one in. Did not make any difference in comfort. I haven’t even installed the second one yet. Due the first being so bad.
