Quote: Rmchrgr Wow, that is light. I didn't think there was anything lighter than those A-990 seats and brackets. Correct, my original Bench seat with hardware and brackets weighed exactly 100 Lbs. My A-990's IIRC (don't have my ledger in front of me) complete with brackets and Ti hardware weigh 44 Lbs for a combined both. That's 56 lbs shaved right there.
Yeah, I was surprised at how light they are but there's really nothing to them.
Not sure if this is accurate but I think the foam in the Jeep seats might not be very dense and it's pretty thin. I think they were probably designed to be left out in the weather so if they got wet they would need to dry out quickly. I'm guessing if the foam was more dense it would have obviously acted like a sponge and absorbed more moisture. The OE seat covers were breathable, like weather proof windbreaker/jacket material.
In my opinion, the Jeep seats look like they belong in there more than the A100 seats which are a '60s-era seat.
The two seats are really similar though. Here's a side-by-side shot.
And with the new seat cover. I'm happy with how they came out.
