I had the Katzkin leather seats installed. I am really happy with the results!

However, if I were to do it all over again, I would NOT buy the Katzkin covers online. Despite whatever promises online sellers make, and how easy YouTube videos make it look, the process has too much room where things can go astray (e.g., the material is not well sewn together, the installation is more complicated than it looks, etc.) to attempt to do it on your own.

Iā€™d go to a professional installer and have them take care of the material and the labor.

What's getting replaced?
Iā€™m removing the Yeti track bar and Falcon 2.2 stabilizer. I also have to take the winch off (yeah, in retrospect we should have waited to put it on, but hubby to too sweet to surprise me with it), and some other items.

The PSC kit, tho. Ouch. Big time ouch. Iā€™m going to verify that it must be removed (going to beg for an exception, but not counting on it) before going ahead.

I took it to the dealer and they inspected it and gave me a list of parts I need to buy (seriously kicking myself for not saving them, but had every expectation that it would solve my problems) and Iā€™m contacting shops to get bids on the work.

Fun.


The Jeep.....:)

Thanks man

I tapped into the 12v cigarette lighter outlet from the back side using the Quadratec 12v outlet tap harness.
Really like what you did! I got this light for Christmas and want to do a switch in the back as well, maybe in the little box below the cig outlet.

Is this the kit you got from Quadratec? I wasn't sure as they talk about running it thru the ignition/up front. Want mine constant power.
