Default Just back from the dealer

Just got back from picking up the jeep after the Katzkin install. Very happy with the Dark Granite color, but might have just gone with Black had I seen it first, definitely has a custom look to it! Very plush and high quality feel. Also had them install dual seat heaters and driver side lumbar support.

Feels a bit like xmas since also rcvd the ACE Rock Rails in the mail, going on sat morning for an afternoon trail ride.

I'm waiting for my JKUR to arrive on 6/19. I ordered the black factory Katzkins. I have to say that the dark granite color looks very nice though and probably a little cooler in the sun.

Looks great! Tell me about the install. Was this a dealer add-on after the sell? I didn't know you could add the Katzkin to any Jeep. Mind telling us what this addition costs? Thanks!!!

The waiting is the hardest part.

Thanks, pretty happy with it. I've since gave it a good coat of Lexol and 24 hours later, Aerospace 303 for leather. Actually feels a bit weather proofed now. Talking with the installer, says it is NOT waterproof, but regular maintenance with high end conditioner they should take a bit of abuse.

Thanks!

I found that you can add the Katskin to about any vehicle, might want to check out their website or some of the Jeep aftermarket sites for specific applications.

I was coming from a WK with leather and knew it was a must have for me, so I worked it into the total price. I don't recall the exact amount for the leather upgrade, but I got my JK for around $28K with 3.73's, side airbags (YES, the katzkins are compatible with seat mounted airbags) and a few other conveniences.

I didnt want to wait for Delivery so I took my jeep home. About 10 days later the leather came in and brought it back for a few days. In all, I think took them about 1.5 days for the leather install.

Just wanted to post a few pics of the Katzkin leather, because I know I had a hard time finding pics when I was waiting for my Jeep. I just wanted to see what I had paid so much for...

And suprisingly they are non-sweaty in the 100 degree heat we're having here. No seat cushions or towel needed.


Quick Reply: any 1 w pics of the factory installed Katzkin Black Leather Seats??
