Default Factory Vinyl Seats

So am I the only one in the world to have the factory vinyl sets? I have been to 2 jeep dealers and neither one has seen the vinyl seats before or any friends. I would not want the cloth ones. It took me a while to find one with them. They are a jeepers best friend in my opinion. they don't stain, they dry right off when you get rained one, heck most people think they are leather. If you have not seen them you must!!!!! i will post some pics tomorrow.

Check out Central Jeep, on Route 1 in Norwood MA. They have over 20 of your beloved vinyl seated wranglers in stock. I've seen them. I've sat in them... Heck, I was 2 hours away from buying one, until I found out I could get cloth, AC, full console, and a sunrider top for 1000 more at another dealership...

I'll take my fabric seats.... And if water becomes an issue, I'll have some neoprene seats on my christmas list...

Buy the Jeep brand seat covers. They seem to be really nice. The Cordura packcloth on the sides is as tough as nails and the seating surfaces are very similar to a North Face soft shell jacket material only more durable. I'm happy with these seat covers, just a bit pricey compared to some I've seen online but I'm sure these will still be in decent shape 5 years from now.

Can you post a pic of your covers also where did you find them? I didn't know they even had them out.

I love my vinyl seats...

I got vinyl, A/C.... Just wasnt able to get the damn full center cosole... Which I desperately want...

but the vinyl just doesnt allow for air flow between you and the seat on hot days, making for some wet backs...

I have a black 2 door X with grey vinyl. Pretty happy with the choice, cleans up very easily, looks and feels just like leather and I don't sweat it if some rain gets in.

I didn't even know they were an option. I guess it's because I want the Rubi.

I know when I ordered mine in September there were 3 different packages, and the most basic came with vinyl seats and a half console. I could be wrong but I think that there are only two packages now and there is no more vinyl or half consoles.

Please post up a picture; I want to see the seats and the half console.
