joshmillslane Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Looking for a bench seat cover that fits very tight and looks nice. Anyone have any experience with covers on their MJ bench seats? Can you recommend a brand or where to get them? I've seen the autozone stuff, but don't want to buy it unless I know it's going to fit well. Thanks in advance!
FxRacing282 Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 chevy ones fit nicely... try cabelas they have some decent camo covers (and solid too but camo is better)
comancheman Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 i bought the mossy oak one from advance auto parts and wasnt pleased its pretty loose
ridergoatee Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Stay away from auto part store bench covers! The bench fit bites! Think maybe I saw a custom fit cover for MJ bench on JC Whitney site. look for the "custom" or "made for comanche" wording in their discription.
WahooSteeler Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 what about those neoprene covers from quadratec.com? i think the brand is "wet Okole" (checked my catalog), so you might want to go direct to their website. i asked a guy on jeep forum selling his if he liked them, said he loved them, only reason he was selling is he was getting racing seats or something.
ridergoatee Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 The problem with some of the covers, is the notch in the bench. Some covers don't allow for that and just run straight across,creating empty space and lousy,loose fit.
WahooSteeler Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 forgot to say that 99ncxj has a nice grey cloth one for $100.....probably easy to dye.
1987Comanche Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I got a decent one for my '87 for just under $50 shipped. I had to cut holes for the seatbelts but it's not a bad fit. It was originally really tight but it's loosened up a bit in the past few months. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pull up the info on where I got it.
joshmillslane Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Sure, I'd like to see it if you have time.
1987Comanche Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I got it from Midway Auto Supply via amazon.com. It an Allison Rough N Ready Compact Bench Seat Cover, P/N ALL-65-6880 and it was $45.06 shipped to the door. It was kind of a PITA to install but I like it overall. If you want a pic of it in the truck PM me and I'll e-mail one to you.
Carl'sMJ Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I am also looking for a bench seat cover that looks nice with a tight fit. I checked out the allison rough n ready 1987Comanche suggested and it looked nice. However, everything else I can find is for full-size trucks. I would just like to see a couple more options before I decide what I go with. Any more guidance that anyone might have would be great. Thanks
Carl'sMJ Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Is the Allison Rough 'N Ready a two piece kit? (One for the seat, one for the back) And does it wrap around the entire seat back or just have the straps?
HOrnbrod Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I listed on Ebay some new OEM factory upholstery pieces I got in a parts buy from a Jeep Chrysler that went belly up, ebay item # 330210507854. I'm getting ready to toss it all out, so if you see anything that might work you can have it, just pay the mailing costs.
Pathkiller Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 What color's your interior? I've got a good condition light blue bench that I took out when I swapped in my buckets. Just taking up garage space, it's yours if you want it. No brackets but if you're swapping for your existing bench then you don't' need em anyway.
deziped Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I checked all the local guys around my town who do upholstrey work out of their garage. Finally found one who would stitch up a vinyl cover for $150. Color matched up perfectly. This is what I got. And it's better than out of a pro shop. Image Not Found[/img]
HOrnbrod Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 deziped; Your post reminded me that I did the same thing when I first got my MJ way back when and I dug up a couple of pics. Found a local upholsterer who did my bench for $80. (hey, this is 'Bama :eek:). This is the way to go IMHP - all seat covers get loose over time.
tkgibbs27 Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 nice looking bench seat. one of these days i will get the one in my 86 reupholstered. i would much rather have cloth than that leather.
HOrnbrod Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 nice looking bench seat. one of these days i will get the one in my 86 reupholstered. i would much rather have cloth than that leather. Yeah, it was much cooler in the summer than the vinyl. :drool:
tkgibbs27 Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 and not as cold during the winter. ha, both reasons i am getting rid of that vinyl covering.
deziped Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Thats why I live in Oregon. Vinyl won't get cold enuf to crack yours nuts in Winter, or hot enuf to make calf fries outa dem in Summer :brows:

Thanks, mine's already blue, and I'm looking to make it black!
joshmillslane Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Nice ideas guys, I'll definately be looking into some apholstry shops.
rylee144 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I'll just place this here. Saw this and thought it may help.
