Reviews for Bestop TrailMax II Classic Low Back Front Seat for 76-06 Jeep CJ-5, CJ-7, CJ-8 Scrambler, Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited
Absolutely love these seats! I was looking for that “old school” look….accomplished!!
Installed both seats WITHOUT removing the risers, just the four 40T (torx) bolts that are located within the sliders. I just slid seat all the way forward to get to the front bolts and all the way back to get access to the rear bolts. I used a yellow paint pen to mark the bolt holes on the bottom of each seat, set seat on sliders and was able to get bolts screwed in. Easier to partially screw in rear bolts first, then the front bolts. Don’t tighten bolts all the way down until all four are attached to the bottom of the seat (to leave wiggle room to line up holes). After all four are threaded into the bottom of the seat, then slowly tighten the bolts fully into the bottom of the seats. You can only tighten two at a time(the front, then the rear).
Total install for both seats was just under 2 hours.
Hunt from jeep. Low back, not original for jeep, but vision not obstructed by high backed seats.
Bought this seat for my husband for Christmas to replace the old seat in our ‘78 CJ5. He was thrilled! He says it was easy to install and exactly like the old one, only comfortable and doesn’t need to be “blocked” up in the back. He says it’s definitely a great seat and a very good purchase.
Have had these in my TJ for about a year now. Wanted the ability to turn and socialize with passengers in the back as well as easier visibility. It really delivered all of that perfectly as well as being comfortable and nice to look at. Keep in mind these are made for lap belts so for daily drivers and moderate off-roading it's great but for anything more intense you may want something different.
This was the third seat I've ordered for a CJ-7, the bolt holes all fit, but the seats are thicker than OEM, the driver side with a slider sits too high, which makes it difficult to get in and changes the angle to the pedals.
