Seat covers

Here's a set of inexpensive seat covers I recently installed. I got them from a business in Mesa, AZ, called seatcovers.net. They will make seat covers out of a large choice of materials, this pattern seemed to go with my 710M the best.
Davis, a Pinz owner in Mesa, took his seats to the factory last week so they could be measured for a more custom fit (thanks David!). For $59 a pair you can't really complain, plus it only takes about 10 minutes to install them. Not for the BMW or Cadillac, but perfect for the Pinzgauer. I think you could even put them in the washing machine after a day of off roading and spilling beer.

those turned out pretty nice, they look that they would be cooler on hot weather...

You could fry an egg on my seat in the summer, so I would always carry a spray bottle of water to cool the vinyl seat down before I got in. I would fold the seat down most of the time, but it doesn't take long to get hot in the sun. I don't drive much in the summer, so I keep the Pinz under an awning and do maintenance. Today we are at 113. One time I drove 45 miles when it was 117, the Pinz responded like it was 70, no pinging or running hot at all, like the ambient temperature had no effect. On the other hand, I went through water rather quickly.
The seat covers have about 1/4" foam sewn in, that makes a nice difference.

I installed the new back seats today using the same material. I have a radio truck, therefore only 3 seats.

3 inch padding made quite a difference in comfort! I have 2 sets of seat pads available if anyone is interested, send me an offer via email. I'll list them on EBay otherwise. They're original seats, not perfect, but no tears or holes. The screws on the back of one of the upper pads are broken off, as they seized up.

Here's a few photos of the custom made seatcovers that you can get from seatcovers.net. David, a 710 owner in Mesa, made this possible by taking his seats over for measurements. They appear to fit better than the universals that I bought. Ask for Jeff if you call to order.

Here's mine again-

I noticed a product description in a back issue of Overland Journal (thanks again to Bruce Berger for the heads up about that great publication) and noticed that Smittybilt makes a similar product but with all sorts of sewn in pockets to store stuff behind the seat covers they make.

I'll reach out to your seat cover manufacturer and see if that's something they might consider added in as a feature.

Thanks for the info, guys! Jeff at Seatcovers.net is a great guy and has my pair of seat covers on their way to me as we speak.

$148 shipped for the pair of custom-fit covers in the desert camo pattern.

How did the price change from $58 to $149? I presume we're not talking about the same thing here?

Universal fit is $59 (pair), a custom fit cost more at $148. That's about $44 more per seat. You have your choice of material no matter what.

You need to amend your original post, it does read as if the covers you got were $59

Hre's what Jeff (the seat cover guy) said about pricing...

"The price he put online was for the universal style that he ordered for his vehicle. The seat cover in the pictures is the full custom style and the map pockets are no charge but you would need to request them. The custom fit styles would range from $104-$194 depending on the fabric you choose. You can see our fabrics online at seatcovers.net. Let me know if you have any questions."

The covers I bought were $59. David took his Pinz seats over for measurement after I bought mine. Had I waited another week or two I could have ordered the custom fit version for $148.

Were the back seats made by seatcovers.net or did they just supply the material to match your front seats? If they did the work what did these set you back ($----). Comfortable back seats might lure a few more folks to go for a ride . . .

Seatcovers.net will sell you the material to match whatever seatcovers you order. Mine was $20 a yard, and it two 2 yards to do 3 sets of seats. I had a local guy make the seats for the back, and they are MUCH more comfortable than the originals.
