The "Rubicon" installed - sit in one of these and you'll understand why these seats are standard equipment in ProTrucks.

Remember the last time you jumped into your Jeep? How did the seat feel? If it was anyting like mine, the stock Jeep seat provided very little in the way of support.

On the other hand, the new Mastercraft "Rubicon" provides a firm, snug fit, and instantly improves the feel of the ride. The sides of this seat are high enough to provide support when you're on that "hard lean" to one side, but low enough to make getting in and out of your Jeep a breeze.

The next time you climb into your Jeep, stop and rate the comfort of your current seats. Maybe a little soft? Lack of lumbar support? Maybe just old and worn out, but never really of any great quality?

The Mastercraft "Rubicon" seats are made from high quality Naugahyde and are available in either high- or low-back design, and in more than 30 colors.

The original seats in our Project Jeep - Not a bad seat, but it lacks support and comfort.

By itself, the "Rubicon" will provide excellent support to your back and legs, however, you can order these seats with the optional "SchUkra" lumbar support that will provide up to 3" of adjustable support for your back. The adjustment knob can be attached on either side of the seat, so both the driver and passenger can benefit from the extra lumbar support.

If you're really particular about your ride, you can go one step further and have the folks at Mastercraft custom-fit your new seats.

All you do is pick the color and the fabric and Mastercraft will make sure your seats fit your seat. The custom fit assures that the contour of the seat will compliment your driving position.

Using only quality products ensures that your Mastercraft seats will be long wearing and durable.

Mastercraft has made installing the seats easy. With their sliders mounted to the bottom of the "Rubicon", the new seat will drop right into the existing seat mounts. How much easier can they make it?

With Mastercraft's sliders mounted, the "Rubicon" fits right into the existing seat mount (top). The existing seat mount bolts are fine thread, so you will need to replace them nuts with course threads to fit the Mastercraft sliders.

You'll notice that you sit up a little bit higher than before, and you'll have much more side and back support. And just wait 'til you get out on the trail - while going over your first obstacle, you'll feel the support and firmness where it counts.

The new "Rubicon" is just what you need to complete your Jeep setup.

Old vs. New - The "Rubicon" wins hands down.

You'll have more than enough choices when it comes to color selection as Mastercraft seats come in more than 30 colors. The Polyurethane foam used in creating this seat can be covered in either vinyl or fabric. Both fabrics are durable and easy to clean.

Installation is completed in just a few minutes.

Here's a little helpful hint for those of you that don't keep a fully-stocked hardware store in your garage:     Before removing your old seats, run to your local hardware store and pick up 8 course thread nuts and washers for your new seats.

If you don't do this, you may have to re-install the old seat so you can get to the store without having to walk. (That happened to a friend of mine!)

One more helpful hint -

Start with the passenger side first, so that if you don't have the proper nuts and bolts, you can jump in your Jeep and head out to the store.

With Mastercraft's wide range of colors, you're sure to find one to match your Jeep - in Vinyl of Fabric.

The Mastercraft "Rubicon" - it's what the well-dressed Jeep is wearing these days.
