Bestop 3944115 Black Denim Trailmax II Rear Fold-N-Tumble Seat - Jeep 1955-1995 CJ5, CJ7 & Wrangler

I installed this on the rear of a Jeep YJ. The seat is nice and firm and the flip and fold is smoother and tucks away nicer than the OEM. I was really impressed with the installation hardware provided. A couple of my bolts were rusted and broke off when I removed the old seat. Bestop provided all new bolts and mounts as well as backing threaded but plates to make any knstallion problems a non insurance so to no run to the hardware store needed!

Really like the way these seats look and feel. The fit and finish is fantastic. For the front seats, they do sit a bit higher than the stock seats they replaced. It may just be primarily the additional thigh length and slight upward angle of the seat bottom, but it's definitely noticeable. Otherwise, excellent seats and they look great. The rear seat is great, no noticeable difference in height from the original. I was worried that the headrests would stick up more than they do, but it really looks great.

The seat looks great and is an updated styling to the traditional bench rear seat for Jeep YJ's. The vinyl seems strong and durable. The folding mechanism works like expected. I did have to put a washer under the latch plate to raise it up from the floor so that it would catch more easily. It was barely catching before, but it was an easy fix. All hardware was included except it did tell me to re-use the existing bolts that went to the floor for the new posts, however whoever owned my jeep before me took them out so I was forced to go buy my own grade 8 bolts. Not a huge deal, but would have been nice for that floor size to be included. It included bolts for I think CJ's where there's not already a welded nut under the body, but they were a narrower diameter bolt so they didn't work. Again, not a huge deal, but worth noting if you're missing your rear seat and all hardware currently.

As another reviewer stated, the seat is a dark gray not black. The seat is much better than the original and seems to be good quality. Installed mine on a 1984 CJ7. It didn't line up with any of the existing holes and I had to drop the gas tank to install the rear latch. I took off a star for Bestop going on the cheap for the hardware. 13mm bolts with washers that barely cover the holes in the brackets. You are given 5 bolts total, 2 for each of the front brackets and 1 for the rear latch even though there are 3 holes in the bracket. Overall the kids like the seat.

Was looking for the newer seat with headrests to make it safer for kids. The new seat does this up until about 13 years old I suspect as seat is not tall enough for me as adult. nice color match to my factory light and dark grey front seats. easy mount on my existing mounts in front of seat and got lucky to use floor seatbelt mount to attache the hook that keeps it down. adjusted the hook travel a bit and is all good.

I bought this for a 1992 wrangler and damn, what a great product. Fits perfectly and has all the hardware to mount. It took me longer to spray the seat with scotch guard and let it dry than it took me to put it in. All the seats in the jeep were trash so I have the full set of bestop front buckets and the back seat. All together it cost me about 900.00 for the three but that was almost as much as it would have cost me to reupholster the old seats. Well worth the money if you need a new, upgraded rear seat!

The looks of it are great, but the fit leaves a little to be desired. The rear latch does not line up at all. I had to use a different bolt and spacers and machine a small piece to keep the spring in place to get it to work. I was using a straight, clean totally rust free Arizona body (1988 YJ), so there should have been no issues with alignment. The rear hold down bracket was almost 1" off. Even with my custom latch built, it does squeak a little bit driving down the road (the latch and handle assembly). I know this sounds a little picky on a Jeep, but I took my time on the restoration to make sure it had no squeaks or rattles.

Nicer than the original seat it was easy to install in my 1992 YJ. The manufacturer should work on their packaging. My box was damaged and holed, and had parts bouncing around inside. I'll lucky that something wasn't lost. But no hard no foul. Not five starts since the fold down mechanism is more complex than the original and I'm afraid I it will not last nearly as long as the 27 years the original stood up.
