Reviews for Rugged Ridge XHD Rubicon Seat for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
Great seats, easy to install on factory risers. I have been looking at seats for a while and these were by far the most comfortable and best looking and the price was incredible.
I was hesitant to buy these seats based on the reviews of "uncomfortable" but took a chance- quality is excellent. I am average size (5'9" 155 lb) and seat fits perfectly. I understand how large people would not like these seats. Also, the seats are made for off road with appropriate retention and firmness. They are NOT the typical plush/soft seats for road driving. The firmer seats provide better support and are actually much less tiring for off road. Plus, the style/appearance is excellent.
Poor build quality.. Have had to re-weld bolsters now 2 times on passenger thigh outside and 1 time on driver outside. Factory offered no support. Have moved on. Its a shame, as they initially were amazing. They are not up to real Jeep standards and use though. Pass. replaced after 11 months.
I should have listened. I should have listened to the reviews saying these seats are bad. I thought they sounded good for off-roading. They are board hard and so narrow that no one in my family fits them (and we’re not big people). The bolsters on the seat bottom are excessively tall and also board hard. Getting in and out of them is a chore and the contrasting vinyl on the driver’s seat has cracked and worn after 6-8 months of wear. I would return them, but I bought them too early in my project, so I didn’t install them for nearly a year after I bought them. Learn from my mistake. Buy some other seats.
Ordered a pair of these for my 97 TJ. They look great but that is about it. These seats are uncomfortable and with the raised bolster on the sides makes it hard to get in and out. The bolsters also make the seat narrow. If you are a small framed girl or a skinny teen you may find it ok. Both seats have a rattle but one is really bad. Every little bump produces a rattle that originates in the reclining joint (very annoying). I am returning these seats. Would not recommend these seats.
very difficult to install alot of adjustments drilling and welding for seat to fit. very uncomfortable lower half of the seat sides hard as rocks would not recommend
