'84 GW with Nissan SD33T, early Chev NV4500, 300, narrowed Ford reverse 44, narrowed Ford 60, SOA/reversed shackle in fornt, lowered mount/flipped shackle in rear.
Mine was camo with pockets all along the edges and the back. It was for a bench seat and both my jtrucks are buckets so I let it go with my '82 C20 pickup.
Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental.
Good ride for a first date. If she's better looking than the seat and not scared off by it she's a keeper.
First date with my girlfriend (now wife) was in my beater Cherokee with duct taped buckets. Took her off roading and almost got busted by the cops. She dug it. And is far better looking than it. So yea, I'd say she's a keeper lol

I believe Katskinz has a Rawlings Leather series that is not too far from what you have there in the Longhorn. I have always wanted a set of KingRanch seats in my wagon, but I am not sure they would fit..and people want gold for the things!
Are you looking to keep the same seats? I hate my stock GW seats. They are incredibly uncomfortable and unadjustable other than the base. I thought about having them refinished. I would have the padding/support changed, add lumbar and heat..and still have limited adjustment. So I keep looking for a good substitute that will work well with the GW "thing". Also have to be conscious of the fact that the floorboards are shallow in our rigs. I am not sure which is a better fit, a modern truck seat or a modern sedan seat.
I know folks have done the Grand Cherokee seats in them and I loved the seats in my old Orvis Edition.. so that may be a route.
I am interested in what seats you decide to go with.
Oh, and I have been trying for a year to convince "The Accountant" that the $130,000 price tag on the Filson Brute is "reasonable".. you get matching luggage after all!
One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.
