Smittybilt GEAR Seat Cover Review

Dumping ground for offroad Trailblazer or Envoy general discussion.

Just wondering how you're liking these so far and how the seat part is holding up not being strapped down. Or if you would rather have bought the universal now that you've had a chance to play with it some.

All you thoughts on it would greatly appreciated especially pros and cons.

teebes wrote:$89 from 4wheelparts during one of their sales (finally got around to picking up the second one today :excited: ). One seat cover comes with 7 miscellaneous pouches, by the way.

I stopped by a Military surplus today and snagged a couple more pouches along w/ a handgun holister, not that I could use it per say, legally :finger: :slap:

I'm really digging the storage. All the various flashlights, headlamps, camera and some maps now are stored behind my seat in easy reach yet tucked away. I have my spare knife on the left side of my seat with another pouch front and center for other miscellaneous items (currently cell phone, tire gauge).


I didn't know they sold handguns at Holister!? :poke:

On the OpenCarry front, I simply don't trust cops enough to actually understand/care about the law and NOT harass me; let alone the majority of ignorant citizens. I just don't have the patience.

More power to the people who do and I admire their determination!!! :cheers:

My buddy has these in his Jeep, and I like em a lot. Anyone tried fitting these in our rigs?

G.E.A.R. Seat Covers

I know these are only listed for Jeeps, but they're pretty generically fitted from what I can tell.

Teebes has 'em. I'm envious. I think that's a testimonial.

Ya know I got so much spare/duplicate/extra MOLLE equip. (Occupational hazard) I could probably make these. hmmmmmmm Now I have yet another project for this winter. :cheers:

My first thought was "I have an extra MOLLE vest... bet I could undo the straps a bit and fit it around the seat." :mrgreen:

I'm pretty sure someone's done that, pictures were on the OS.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

I was thinking of maybe a small single pouch for up front just a small flashlight holder or something on the side of the seat. I carry an extra ASP between the seat and the console now. But for the rear bench would be really nice. Back in the cargo area would work better for me since I haul the kids in the back seat already. Will post pics when I get it. I got lots of ideas already forming. :viking:

Thanks for merging them. I searched but I didn't see it b/c i searched "G.E.A.R." instead of "GEAR". I'm definitely getting a set of these I think.
