What " Riff-Raff"?

Ive had many vehicles with leather and my personal answer to that is no. Keeping leather in tip top shape takes work, it’s a real PITA honestly. People will chime in and say it’s not but their rigs are only a year old so yeah they aren’t there yet. Time will take its toll if not cared for properly. This is my first vehicle with cloths seats in a long time and I’m starting to remember why cloths seats are so awesome. Of course I have seat covers over mine but they are generally duty free.

This one I’m going to respectfully disagree with. Leather cleans off with a quick wipe of a damp cloth. If you grab some leather cleaner and conditioning wipes and store them in the Jeep, you don’t have to worry about staining.

They do need to stay conditioned, and they get hot AF in the sun, but quickly clean up compared to cloth. Cloth is super easy to clean once mud, etc has dried. Vacuumed or brushed off, and it’s done, for the most part.

I guess we are still non-Rubi owners because it is still a Sahara but has started to become a Saharicon. Wife cooked the rear axle because Dana had their head up their arse when they thought it was a good idea to put the drain plug on the bottom of the diff housing. Long story short, one in a million chance that she clipped the plug off roading to where it only pulled out of the housing part way, allowing a slow leak to occur. Fast forward on the drive home and the axle runs dry, can we say seized?
Insurance company cut a check for $4k, we added $1800 to it and voila... D44s, lockers and auxiliary switches.

Not entirely certain why you're calling out. I'm stating my opinion and was respectful. It's based on years of leather seats, and it doesn't match what you're saying. I find them easier to clean, as stuff just wipes off. Maintaining them is as simple as cleaning and conditioning every few months, and isn't laborious, or overly time-consuming. It takes about as much time as brushing or vacuuming off cloth seats.

Conditioning leather properly takes longer than a quick wipe off (brushing) with your hand and vacuuming. It is a very arduous task especially if you have high usage.

You see, if you’re the only person who uses the vehicle and you have leather seats, you still have to condition all of the seats, even the ones you don’t use at all. They all have to be conditioned.

Now, let’s use a similar scenario but add a little more usage with cloth seats:

You're the only person who uses the vehicle aside from a few guests here and there (more usage), you don’t have to condition or clean anything.

Even though it may not be a huge pain to some, it’s still a pain you don’t have with cloth. I won’t go back to leather unless it is a forced option.

two quick pictures of my sport. cant wait for the 33" tires to wear out so i can get a fresh 35 going

note my buddy trying to walk up the hill i just drove up in the wrangler. though he was gonna poo himself lol

Most leathers made today do not need conditioning, they are sealed. And the easy way to keep them looking new is throw a couple of seat towels on them when planning to get them dirty, easy. They are sold on Amazon and Ebay for a pair about $20.00 and washable, they fit over head rest and go on and off in a minute.
