look at Wet Okole  http://www.wetokole.com/ they make neoprene seat covers for anything, kinda $$ but probably the only thing you'll find that will shed water

Not worth the $$ IMO I have them, and they work alright :dunno: but they wear out pretty quick

Theyre nice if you're gonna be wet all the time getting on them, but they fade quick, and they wear farily quickly IMO.  when they wear out I probably wont get another set, unless they lower the price :yupyup:  Its a good idea, but neoprene isnt a very durable material and it shows

i used a set of twin turbo supra seats, grey leather, 5 point harnesses, and they had alot of support on the sides, i realize that these are probably rediculasly hard to find and/or expensive, but i picked em up for 50, armoralled them, and wala, good as new :thumbs:

I got mine out of an abandoned 91 Mist Eclipse.  Bolted right in.  But I would like them to be about 2" shorter though since I am 6'2".
I think that pepboys sells the APC racing seats for $99 apiece and they have the holes for a 4 point harness.  But then you have to buy the bracketts to make them fit.  But you could probably fab your own.
You have a Jeep?  That's cute.... So does Barbi.

Damn that is a good idea, run a 4 point (no 5 points, I still want my n*ts) in my truck. Who wants to buy some good cloth SR5 seats? Tan and say SR5 all over them, no head restraints.
