Awesome install! We appreciate your business.

[@TheBFHGarage]

Thanks to your team for making replacement cushions!

[@garrettlowell7637]

Thanks to you both for supporting the TJs.

[@garbinator09]

Hear! Hear!

[@ScottVosevich]

Been looking everywhere for these cushions. Did mine yesterday .

[@Mike__S]

I was on Summit looking at one of those about a month ago. This was a great video to reference for installation tips and steps. My driver side seat looks identical as far as cushion collapse/breakdown to yours pre-repair

[@BD-vx4pm]

Thanks! Just did this on my '03. No hog rings on the underside, and more plastic clips. Just had to be patient, and that new cushion makes a world of difference!

[@Joseph-ok1xx]

I just ordered a set for my 2003 TJ from Summit and this video will surely help me with the install. Thanks

[@SlabCampOutdoors]

Mike, you were 100% correct, it was possible to do this job with the seat in place (bolted down inside the jeep). It would have been impossible without your video...but using your video and a little patience the job was easy enough without taking the seat out. Cheers!

[@TheBFHGarage]

Glad it helped out!

[@RockyMountainTJ]

This is perfect! The bottom cushion on my driver side is falling apart fast and the woven OEM seat fabric is also falling apart. The fitment on those Bartact covers looks great compared to others.

[@long-jeep]

Nice work and explanation. No more TJ gangsta lean!

[@TheBFHGarage]

Haha!

[@davidkerr9801]

Great video. Thanks! This must be an older TJ. My 2004 seat cover attaches with velcro and strips of plastic clips. It only requires 4 bolts to remove the cushion and spring frame from the seat base and it makes the process much easier.

[@TheBFHGarage]

Correct. This is for 97-02

[@DinkAround]

Freaking great channel.

[@hotshtsr20]

Don't forget to inspect the seat frame itself while you have it apart. Mine had cracks and broken welds in it.

[@TheBFHGarage]

Yeah I mentioned that too!

[@hotshtsr20]

@@TheBFHGarage Huh, missed that part. Lol

[@TheBFHGarage]

😁

[@raulcoronamail]

Links or brand of the seat heater you use?

[@TheBFHGarage]

They're so old I couldn't remember 😂

[@jerryb953]

Do you know where I can get factory type replacement upholstery not just seat covers?

[@TheBFHGarage]

I haven't been able to source any. Bartact makes a great cover. Mine are Trek Armor which became Bartact. Very well made.

[@jerryb953]

THANK YOU. I have never been able to find any neither. I guess they just want to sell you the whole seat. Maybe one of your other loyal subscribers know of a source. GREAT CHANNEL. I have learned a lot from you.

[@Spooner4040]

Any for the XJ?

[@TheBFHGarage]

Go to Summit to check 🤷

[@Jake-pq3iz]

Ordered these before everyone finds out about them and they are out of stock for months.

[@claudetteg7815]

Do you happen to know how to remove the factory seat covers fully? I've been wanting to remove mine to wash them but been hesitant since my TJ is my daily

[@TheBFHGarage]

I've had them on just enough to get seat heaters installed. It's been a really long time since. The process should be relatively the same. Just work through the hog rings as you come to them and have replacements on hand for reinstall.

[@garbinator09]

I’m 69. Thanks so much for showing us this replacement issue. I own an 05 TJ and I would love to do this project. My factory material is good. Just needs a new cushion. Wonder if I ordered the cushion if an upholstery shop could repair my seat? I’m not strong enough to make this all come together.

[@TheBFHGarage]

@@garbinator09 any upholstery shop could do this

[@garbinator09]

@@TheBFHGarage thank you sir

[@Hank_Amarillo]

any reason you didnt use zip ties instead of the hog rings?

[@TheBFHGarage]

Hog rings don't break where zip ties will. And with the hog ring pliers it makes short work of it l.

[@garrettlowell7637]

I just replaced my driver's seat yesterday. Thanks for making this video-super helpful, and thanks to Summit Racing for supporting the TJs. Definitely a good business move.

[@fanof308]

Timely video. Just saw these on Saturday then saw this video yesterday. Ordered today. Great move on Summit to fill a void. Thanks for the video and the review.

[@SlabCampOutdoors]

Great video, thank you. Do you think there is any hope of doing this job with the seat in place (still in the jeep)? I've already sheared one seat mounting bolt...not hopeful that the other 3 will be any easier!

[@TheBFHGarage]

Yeah I think so with some patience!

[@abouttime7316]

Nice! Thanks for making this video. I plan to actually tackle my 03 seats today. So looking forward to that lifted firm drivers seat.

[@TheBFHGarage]

@@abouttime7316 the 03-06 is slightly different but the same concept👍

[@tdperformance157]

Do you know if they have a replacement for the back of the front seats??

[@TheBFHGarage]

That I do not know...

[@Jake-pq3iz]

What size hog rings?

[@TheBFHGarage]

They came with the seat foam, not sure. Maybe 3/4"?
