Aftermarket Seats

Unfortunately, car manufacturers don't always expect us to actually take our vehicles offroad - so when it comes to fitting out your vehicle for a major trip you replace your suspension to improve

Have been threatened with new seat covers as a Christmas present.
Looking for info./recommendation on the best canvas style for L/C 75 series (single driver, 1.1/2 passenger)
Has been mentioned (frequently) that the (my side) sheepskin cover has (after 10yrs.) become quite unpleasantly aromatic. The words "wet dog" have been used, and yep, they do get washed from time to time!
All info. on source and approx. cost much appreciated.

Have you looked at These Seat Covers, I think they would be a good option compared to canvas ones.

G'day furph
My son just bought a set from Big W for about $140 and they look and fell quite OK. The backs are not real sheep skin though.

I can't see any relevance whether the driver is single or married, but if the passenger is equal to 1 1/2 people, you better get well padded sheep to skin.
Cheers.

I've had these on for the last 6 years and they look near new. No wear marks, fraying or slightest suggestion they won't last a few more years.

Have had people with the canvas Black Duck canvas type wanting to know where I got mine as theirs have worn out.

We have a retreaver and border collie that love water and they are perfect. I think they've been washed twice in 8 years. No residual dog or dampness smells either, unlike canvas. When they get wet they dry very quickly.

Takla Seat Covers.
