Not taking away from anyone else's concerns, but here's my recent experience.. I have a 77 FJ55, needed front and rear seat covers as most do, after 45 years anyway... I decided to go w the Cruiser Corps product.. I ordered the rear seat covers first, and got the backrest done w/o issue. Looks fantastic..Moved to the bottom (seat) and there were two issues (1) not enough material on the side panels to install (2) no sewn in seam 'tunnel' for the metal rod to insert and cinch down on...Man...frustrating.... Plus it had been about 40 days since I took delivery, and CC has a 30 day no hassle return policy.. I was worried about protocol/business model... SO .. I call and speak w Adam and Mike, and they say "we'll make it right, don't worry,,,,we'll make it right" I had also purchased the front seat covers by the time I discovered the problem, and they suggested I look at the fronts as well, which were still in the box... I saw the bottom cover had the seat belt cutout in the seat, and on 77's the belt enters between the backrest and the seat cushion.. He said box it up, send it back, "we'll make it right"... I'm writing this because like most 55 owners on mud, we've learned not all products/vendors are equal... But, Cruiser Corps absolutely stood up and 'made this right'. I want to tip my hat in appreciation to Adam and Mike at Cruiser Corps.. They dug into it, discovered the reason behind the issues of the backseat 'seat bottom", corrected them both, and sent me the new product yesterday... I installed it today, and WOW! Perfect fit! Eaasy installation.. I later installed the front seat covers and perfect fit. My experience is they have a professional, courteous customer service in support of the FJ55 tribe.. Appreciated... Note: I had offered to take care of return shipping, but they took care of all the shipping expenses... Nice touch.. Well done..

I will get some up, but the seats are not installed yet due to PnB work in progress on the truck.... And during the front seat bottom upholstery installation, I fortunately discovered the driver side coil spring broken!! Luckily, mud member 'pickup' was selling a front seat (Calgary) and he was willing to cannibalize it for parts to repair my front seat. So I am waiting for the front coil spring to complete the installation of the front seat cover, then reattach the backrest to the seat bottom frame.. I'll get some pics today....going over to the hobby garage to get some work done. Thanks for asking ... I was a little intimidated about installing the covers myself, and repadding where necessary, but as it turns out it was really straight forward... But the pics will show how well these seat covers fit ...very satisfied.

Those do look good, probably fraction of the cost i spent to reupholster mine.

Thank you... I'm very pleased w the outcome.. Good product... I got a couple of estimates locally, and between costs and timeline, my thinking turned toward DIY.. Then it was a matter of 'well, I need to learn how to do this..' .. and product/vendor choice.. I was expecting removal and installation to be a lot more difficult than it was.... these covers fit like a glove.. I had purchased some foam online to address existing foam/liner deterioration in several areas, and I took my time...
