Can anyone recommend an aftermarket seat they have liked. They all mostly look the same ruggedridge, corbeau, ect. Are they all the same or are some more comfortable or durable than others? Also I would be interested in a rear seat that was her backed and maybe a bit more comfortable than the standard low back if anyone knows of one.
 
Rugged ridge are no good, Or at least the three sets I went through in less than 6 weeks were not worth a flip. The seams tore with in days in all three sets, I finally got my money back and bought topline besttop seats and they have held up pretty good the last 4 years.
 
That's one for bestop and one against ruggedridge. Does anyone else have an opinion on some of the other major brands like coebeau? It's nice knowing that I can avoid some of the headache others have experienced.
 
Does anyone know of a rear or front seat with belts built into it? That would be ideal!
 
I am going with Master Craft seat for the CJ 6 A friend has a set and I have spent a couple of days sitting in them and like them. The ones I bought were Baja RS not adjustable head rest, adjustable lumbar support.
 
I've never found an aftermarket seat that I liked as well as the factory seats. I finally gave up and bought used factory seats and put bestop covers on them.
 
I've had the vinyl reclining Rampage seats for ~7 years now and I'm quite happy.

I don't think Rampage makes CJ seats anymore, but the Black Mountain vinyl reclining high back seats look suspiciously exactly the same.

I bought my Rampage seats 7 years ago from Collins Bros. Collins Bros now sells the Black Mountain seats that look the same: http://collinsbrosjeep.com/76-95-cj-yj-reclining-front-seat/
 
I have the Mastercraft seats and really like them. I can be in the Jeep all day and my back is fine at the end of the day/weekend.
 
I found a brand new set of Steel Horse leather seats at a 4WD closeout sale. Paid $200 for the set. Rugged, weather resistant and confortable.

I tried those and found that the tops of my thighs hit the bottom of the steering wheel. The bottom part of the seat sat much higher than my stock seats. Of course, I do not have tilt steering, which would have helped.....
 
They do sit higher, and are higher in the front than the back. I do have tilt steering, so I blocked the rear to make the seat mostly level. I thought about having the drivers seat frame "chopped", but have not gotten around to that project.
