http://www.WetOkole.com. The rear bench seat is a two-piece cover so yes, you can still fold them down. Choo, those look awesome as well. Did you get full tubing on those?

I had custom camo seatcovers made.. they are now offered through www.seatcovers.net. I spent a small fortune on them with bad fits till i bought an old seat and had it shipped to them.

Mine happen to be for sale at half what they cost me.. in FS forum.

You mailed them a JY seat to show them the pattern? That's awesome.

Geez, thanks for the compliments on the seat covers, guys. Yeah, they're way too pricey, but the satisfaction factor is over the top. Like I said, might as well get them first. If you care enough to cover the seats, get the good stuff first time around. Word to the wise: Go to a fabric store (or maybe Walmart) and buy some anti-fade spray. An absolute must. I've seen so many people complain that Wet Okoles are crap because they fade so fast. Gotta protect your investment. Fabric protector does wonders. I've already saturated mine.

The center console is the Tuffy security insert for XJs. Quadratec had them for years, but I just searched & they didn't appear. Price went up every single year. They got pretty expensive for what they are, but anything with the Tuffy name is. I bought them from a guy on a JeepForum over a year ago for under 100 bucks. Such a clever invention, and way better than the glove box for "valuables".

Here they are ... Tuffy Center Console Security Insert for XJ

You remove the console, drill, insert, and replace the stock lid. it keeps the stock console & adds much needed space. For us girls, this is important stuff!

No I have the half piping option, it allows you to have the middle color a different color than black.

I'm gonna get a rear seat eventually, but the price was just too much for me to spit out for all the seats at one time.

WOW!! I can't believe their price is $202.99, that is allot. I would really like something like this but not at that price. I am going to have to figure something else out .. Maybe i can fabricate my own, because the stock glove box is so small its useless.


This plus those seat covers recommended , you should make another thread called the "very good and very expensive accessories for yoru XJ" ~*he says teasingly*~

Well I could, but considering the box only cost me $75, it would be misleading. There are areas in which I skimp on cost, but I do believe that you get what you pay for. And that "pay" could mean time or money spent. As for the seat covers - well I had wasted so much money on inferior stuff that I just gave up & bit the bullet.

BTW, Have you seen what Tuffy merchandise cost in general?

Agreed. Sometimes there is no cure for a problem but money...just buy the good stuff and don't look back.

Don't know if anyone's interested but I pulled my front seats out and cleaned them with Shout on the stains and put some Tide in a pail and a couple inches of water and go at them. The are tan in color and stain easily. When I was done, they looked like new.

Then I put a little space heater on a milk crate aimed at the seats to dry them out. Took about a day to get them dry. They look excellent. Did the back seat, too. Did the carpets. Whole thing looks good.

I had wetokole seat covers on my corvette. They are amazing. I would highly recommend them and when I can afford them for my jeep I'll probably get some.
