Low Back Seat Covers For A 66

Heh, think I found it without much effort. Looks like the only Jeep Ammeter on all of ebay that doesn't have negative values on the face

 

Mike,
So you used the ones with the horizontal pleats -NOT the vertical pleats and the installed ok?
The seller is unable answer if they will fit a 66 model CJ.
IF THEY WORKED FOR YOU , should fit my 66.
thanks-Joe

 

Yes, the pleats are horizontal. Post a picture of your seats and I can tell you if they look like they are the same type as mine.

 

I have had 3 sets of the bestop replacement seats and have really liked the quality of them. I am going to try the smittybuilt ones next as there is a distributor here locally so no shipping.

 

Yep, just like mine. Looks like the foam is in great shape too. Should turn out well.

 

Mike, Thank you, my seats are pretty UGLY so I posted pixs of my friend Franks 66 seats.
Thanks again for your help

 

Pulled the trigger on the horiz pleat covers on ebay.
Thanks Mike and all who chimed in

 

I had Bestop seats in my CJ 5 which I sold years ago. They always hurt my lower back. I now have Smittybilt seats in my CJ 6 which I have put a ton of miles on, and I've been super happy with the comfort and wear. I think the price was great for both Bestop and Smittybilt.

 

Good evening, I found your post via the search function. I too am looking at purchasing the seat cover kits from eBay for the 72-72 CJ. My jeep is a 69 so it would be very helpful to hear about your experience. Did the covers fit okay? Are you happy with them?

I would prefer to keep my original seats but the covers are toast...if this kit doesn't work out I'll likely forgo the folding passenger seat and buy the Smittybuilt/Besttop. Thanks in advance.

 

I have used that kit twice now, on both my 67 and 69. I am happy with it. A good fit and good results rely on the foam being in good shape though, so keep that in mind.
