FJ Cruiser driver seat wear
Has anyone else experienced excessive wear on the lower bolster of the seat back on the drivers side?
Mine's worn down to the point there's a small hole. Anyone else have this problem? __________________ 07 TRD-All options. Dest. MT on Pro Comp Rockcrawler steelies Sirius-Scaguage-lot's o gear Heavy duty brush/bumperguard-PIAA offroad lights

I've got 17,349 miles and there is a very noticeable white spot (but no hole yet) on the lower, outboard, driver's seat back bolster.

Mine WAS white!
Until it wore through. I have only 18,976 miles and it's worn all the way through. I know of a few dealers who have replaced the seat cover (like around $800 for just one..upper) under warranty.
But it seems many call it "normal wear & tear". I'm a big guy and am hard on seats, but I've never seen anything wear THIS quickly. I'm just trying to get a handle on how common this issue is. I would imagine the seats should wear better than a Yugo's...! Thx __________________ 07 TRD-All options. Dest.

Mine is showing a lot of wear also. Feels like a hole in the padding under the cover.

800 miles on the truck on March 1, 2007...
after yesterday (OKC to LV), it's got over 72k... remember, this is a TRAIL TEAM truck, so it gets used and abused daily...yesterday was a non-stop 17 hour drive (other than fuel)... I leave Big Bear on Sunday night to drive 30 hours/2100 miles to Wisconsin by Tuesday afternoon....then to Ohio for a total trip of 2500 miles by Wed afternoon... my HOPE is to have this truck in 2009 as well, and continue piling miles on as a long-term testing for Toyota.... __________________ Brian 'woody' Swearingen Lead Driver, Toyota Trail Team (Central) '07 FJ Cruiser...Revtek, 285 BFG-AT's, ARB/Warn, BudBuilts, 80k miles...

I'm using seat covers from Specter Off-Road, Inc.-Landcruiser Parts & Accessories, worth their weight in gold. They are tough, water proof, and go on and off in minutes, to be thrown in the washing machine.
