Over time the seats in your TJ can start to look a little rough from normal wear and tear.

To prevent more wear on your factory seats and cover up old stains or rips in your seat

covers, I'd recommend to check out these fabric seat covers from Rugged Ridge.

This set of fitted front seat covers here will add some style and a bit of color to

the interior of your '97 to '02 TJ while creating a comfortable ride with soft fabric in a form-fit

design.

I would like to mention though that these will not fit the '03 to the '06 TJ seats because

of different designs in the seats between years.

Installing these though will be a very easy one out of three wrenches on the difficulty

meter and we'll touch on that in just a moment.

These will be soft and like I mentioned, they'll create a comfortable ride in your Wrangler.

These are made out of the durable poly-cotton material which will protect your factory seats

from any sweat, mud, dirt or any other things that you definitely don't want to stain your

stock seats.

I would like to mention that these are not water resistant or waterproof because of the

material.

However, if you are looking for that option, we do offer neoprene options by Rugged Ridge

that will be water resistant.

These are intended to give a factor look so they will be soft and flexible and they'll

shape around your seats, making them look like they were always meant to be there.

These are also UV treated and they do not absorb heat from the sun so they won't fade

in the sun while you have your top off and when you're getting into the Jeep, you don't

have to worry about burning the back of your legs.

These slip directly over the seats and they're separated in two parts for the best fit.

They attach underneath the seat with mounting points with elastic cords, nylon straps, and

hooks so you can ensure that these won't move around or bug you while you're getting in

and out of the Jeep or while you're driving.

We do also have a couple of other color options like full black as well as black and gray,

as well as options for the '03 to '06 TJ.

So make sure you get the right ones for your Wrangler.

These front seat covers average at the moment around $160.

And I think for what these bring to the table that the price is definitely worth it.

Compared to other options, these have an excellent fit and a snug design for poly-cotton fabric.

Other less expensive options will be made of similar material but they won't provide

the best fit and they're more like a full seat protector with a universal fit so they'll

just slip over the seat.

If you were looking for those neoprene options, we do have them available for about $100 more.

In the long run, if you were looking for a good styling fit and function at a good price,

this option by Rugged Ridge is a good one to take into consideration for your TJ.

And as always, Rugged Ridge backs their products by a five-year limited warranty to keep an

extra peace of mind.

Install is very simple as you can assume, guys.

All you have to do is slip these over and hook them down, taking a couple of minutes.

It gets a one out of three wrenches on the difficultly meter for me, and we'll pull the

Jeep in and show you how to put these on.

So before actually installing the seat covers, I would recommend to move the seat forward

so you have some room to work with and folding this top portion down so you can put the seat

cover through the crease.

So now you're gonna install the bottom portion of the seat. So you're gonna drape the seat cover over the front here and pull this tab

in the back through the crease.

Now you're gonna attach the two buckles underneath the seat making sure that you're not interfering

with the seat functionality, and then you can pull them tight.

Now you're gonna install the top portion by slipping it over and tucking this bottom portion

through the crease of the seat and velcroing it in the back.

All you have to do is repeat on the other side and you're all set.

So if you're looking for some style and protection to your '97 to '02 TJ's factory seats, Rugged

Ridge has your back.
