Those are very nice indeed! Guess I will look into a second mortgage. They just made my "gotta have" list.
Hard to say what the quality difference is but a similar set can be had for a fairly reasonable price.

Damn, I just bought that same set you linked at Fleet Farm branded by "Lang" on ebay last week for $70 not $57... I plan on trying it out this afternoon.

I had to adjust the fitment of my front end.
The hood tells it all.... it has minimal side to side adjustment. So it was hanging off passenger side apron by 1/2 inch .
So to fix this I loosen all the bolts on the fenders, apron, bib and front mount for bib. And then pushed them over to where the hood was square with everything and the tighten them back up.

Freshing up seat frames
I am pretty sure those can be unbolted, but I would have done it the same way.

@MOTOV8R Yeah, I probably should have, but I just decided to put a pretty "band aid" over it!! 
I'm not even sure what kind of seats they are..... the seat bracket/frame is stock but I don't have a clue as to the seats.
The seat covers are aftermarket and they are really durable. The seats have been in the shed for 2 years and were full of dirt and bugs. So I cleaned them up with Super Clean and Bleach White!! Boy, they are clean now!!

Ladies and gentlemen come take a ride in the worlds greatest off road vehicle. Proven over seven continents. Step right up and have a seat... any seat... well, except the one on the fence and behind the wheel!!
I'll even let you listen to the radio... well that will be extra, of course.

For what is worth..... Im not a big fan of the CCOT console
1. I don't like that I paid approximately $300 dollars for it.
2. You have to open the whole lid to do anything to the radio. It really is a pain in the
arse.
I will upgrade later to a Tuffy console.
