Nice jeep it looks like it would be a great donor for the build and I saw a guy on here a while back that painted his soft top to spice instead of black so you might want to consider that if your looking to change the color of it, because replacing it could get expensive. Good luck with it though I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks for the input guys, and I'll try that pb blaster when I get around to it, that idea of painting my black top to spice sounds good but how well would it turn out? Wouldn't the black come through?

Check out JP 12 in Fairbanks Alaska by sfuflash23 he's the guy that did it. From what I can see it looks like it would hold up pretty well.

Just found these Sahara seats and I am hoping for my life that I win the bid lol, if I do end up getting them will I be able to repair the rip? Can anyone help me find the seats if I don't end up getting them?

Those are NOT the correct ones. Those are pre 92, when the color was a gray not a greenish and the pockets should be all leather not fabric.

They are close but not right. They do not recline, look for a set that has handles on the side for reclining. I dont see them as repairable. You will need to recover them and you can do that to the ones you already have. On the plus side they look more right than the ones you have but i would pass on these if i was you. You can take your bid back for them being miss labeled. Correct me if i am wrong on the year guys but i think those were replaced by the new style in 92 so those are 91 or earlier.

Thanks for the heads up guys, that was close one!
Also, how can I repair my side mirrors? They keep changing directions when I close my doors or wind pushes them around when driving, is there a way I can fix this or should I just buy a replacement pair?

As long as you drive that jeep the mirrors will never stay still :lol: and just my 2 cents unless your going for perfect accuracy I would just save you money and buy some aftermarket seats even the cheap ones on eBay worked fine for me, the more you think about it do you really want 23 year old seats? Good luck
