Title: Seat Covers
Post by: junkman on June 14, 2006, 07:27:06 AM

Anyone have any ideas on the best slip-on type seat covers for the high-backed bucket seats for a Geo Tracker? I have been looking but I want some that will be fairly water proof from rain. I don't have a million bucks to spend and want to install them myself.

Bestop seat covers are kinda pricy, but I really like them.

They are water and dirt resistant and fit nicely. People actually asked me if I got new seats when I put them on.

I'll post a pic a bit later

I hope that "okole" is hawaiian for "butt" because that's what I'm trying to prevent. Thanks alot! I will check them out.

I forget how much they cost me, but I got them off of "mats4less.com". I think I got ripped. I could have found a Canadian distributor of Bestop products and paid a lot less in shipping, duties, tax...etc.

If you want a set, e-mail Bestop to see who's in your area that can get you their stuff.

I'm not sure if they are totally waterproof though, so if your looking for more of a "active" type product, maybe try Okole.

I use the X-bound seatcovers ... I got a set for my 2dr, and then a set front AND back for the 4dr ...

They aren't totally waterproof, but dang close ... they are a very tough canvas cover that will pool water/mud (ask me how I know) ... in fact this afternoon, I need to pull mine and hose em off.

One thing I really like is they have pockets on the seatback (and front/sides) that make a nice place to store some items (maps, TP, spare hoses, clamps, first aid kit, etc). It keeps those items outta the mud/water that gets to boxes and such under the seats or on the floor.

here's a link (I got mine at a local shop for around the same price).

the 4dr rear ...

the 2dr dirty fronts ...

and what's underneath ...
(http://www.avalonforest.com/geo/misc/2dr-seat-orig-small.jpg) (http://www.avalonforest.com/geo/misc/2dr-seat-orig.jpg)

The bench seat in the rear was way too wide, so I sewed up about 4" in the center. I think I'm going to also make a cut so I can get the split back to function again also ...
