Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Seat Covers

Got the seat cover today as a gift. One of the clips came apart as I was carrying it out to my Jeep. Seems alright other that the cheap straps that connect the bottom portion of the cover.

The cover is well made, except for the very cheap and flimsy elastic cords and plastic hooks. Advertised to fit any jeep seat, this is misleading as they are a poor fit for the stock seats in 2004-2006 LJ Wranglers. The G.E.A.R. modular pouch system is really cool, and I have seen (and actually liked) it on other products.

Canvas, very durable and long lasting. Perfect match for the Jeep line. Steps look great and very functional. As consumer need to know the guage of the pipe. The powdercoating is excellent and looks great.

I love everything about the seat cover except that it does not fit as well as the other smittybilt seat covers that I have bought previous.

Great product to organize tools; tire deflators, wrenches, etc. Just all around awesome product!

Just perfect for my new "Rubincon x" !!

If you have stock seats, I am sure this product is fine as is. However, I have aftermarket Corbeau's and I can tell you getting these covers on was a pain. First off the design is nice the denier is a decent weight to provide good seat protection. The system attaches to the bottom of the seat via a flimsy bungy which you are to attach to the springs in the seat. My seats have a steel plate covering the springs, so no access. This was fixed by removing the cheap/short bungy and replacing it with lengths of paracord. The cover is two pieces which are held together via Velcro straps. The easiest way to get them in place is to get in the backseat have someone square the pad in the front and then tighten and retighten them until you get where you want. If you know what you are doing or have someone to help you and they know as much or more than you, these will get you where you want to go. If you are looking for a quick on seat cover with ease, these are NOT for you. Also I was told they went on in 15 minutes flat, this is far from the truth.

I use this product because I wanted the space back in my back area of my TJ where space is limited. I'm slowly adding more and more into the packages. The only down fall is with bungee hooks I can't connect them to anything under my seat because one it might break, two it might snap off if it is stretched to far, or three it will get tangled up whenever you move the seat forward or backwards.

My husband asked for this months ago for Christmas so I bought it and had it shipped to the house thinking he wouldn't notice a cardboard box... yeah, but it didn't come in a plain cardboard box! The seat cover arrived in the manufacturers box for the cover, covered with pictures of the cover so my surprise gift was completely ruined! I'm still contemplating sending it back due to my disappointment.

I carry lots of "toys" and snacks. This gives me a place to put my things instead of in bags on the floor. No worries about dirty floor mats! My only complaints are that it was missing 1 or 2 pages of installation instructions and that I had to be creative on the placement of the bottom hooks.
