Yes, and possibly without turning the back of your entire wardrobe black. Check with a custom auto upholsterer in your area....
thanks lon. the sahara seats are awesome, if i could pull that off id be really happy.

It won't be cheap, but should be cheaper than having them replace the cloth entirely. Some can't be died very easily.
Why not put in a set of Recaro's or Corbeau's? Might be cheaper.
im looking at an even swap for my high backs, the only thing that will cost me anything is the dye job (and the cost of travelling to swap the seats).
doh...i gotcha now.....youre talking about seat covers. ive had less than great success in the past with seat covers.

No, those are two of the major aftermarket seat makers. Also found as original equipment in some Porsche, Boeings, office chairs, marine, trucks/bus, racing, etc.
Do what you have to do. Those Rubi seats are FAGLY&FUGLY!!!! My 94 green Sahara canvas seats are great. 190600 Miles and still without a tear.
my rubicon seats suck. they sit to low to the floor and the back goes up nearly to the roof. my '00 sahara seats were the most comfortable seats ive ever owned and id really like having them in my rubi if i can get them dyed black.
I haven't tried yet, but mine have zippers on them. It appears that they might just slip off & you can take them to a Laundromat with some RITZ or something.
wow.....i never even considered that possibility!
I bought some 1 inch spacers to lift my seats on my 03 tj. Im 6'4'' and they were to low stock. In hindsight I would have gone with the 1.5 inch, but I though they woudl be to high with my height. One of the best mods yet Tony
hi tony, even if i raise the height there is still the problem of the high back, which would be even higher with the spacers. i cant see over them. i sat in a '02 the other day and was amazed at how "right" it felt. the "high back" seat was a bust, i hope they discontinue it.
