Default Mastercraft Baja RS

Looking at picking up a pair of mastercraft baja rs seats. Any of you that have them how have they held up so far? Is the dirtsports upgrade worth the money? Any experience with these would be appreciated.

I have them front and back for about a year now very comfortable and look great. Some things i wish i would have know. Installing them was a pain.The sliders in the front are still tight because they are misaligned. But getting to the nuts and bolts is almost impossible with the seat installed.The seat belts in back are hard to latch because they fall to the floor between the seats.I need to come up with a way to hold them up with a strap. I know i said more negative then positive but i would still do it. Love the dirt sport cover also my favorite magazine.

The dirtsport upgrade I'm talking about is like a vinyl patch in the high wear spots on the seats. Do you have the full cloth seats? Any noticeable wear on the cloth in the last year?

I have the dirt sport cover seems to be very durable. Drag my 240 pound 6'2" frame in and out and dont see any wear yet.

We have had these in our JK-8 for many years now. Great seats. One thing to consider (at least for me) is that I can't wear my Gerber multi-tool on my belt or a wallet in my back pocket, because of the bolster/side support. Now this isn't a bad thing. I am also a really tall dude.

Look good, just having a hard time parting with $1400 for seats. Anyone else have a set? I can't really find anyone with something bad to say about the quality of them.

Put in my order, mastercraft is currently 4-6 weeks out. Went for the dirt sports, lumbar support and rear pockets.
