High-quality performance seats are often overlooked by off-roaders when
building their rigs. Mechanical modifications such as axles, lockers,
tires and other obviously important additions are often times the first
thing Jeepers spend their big bucks on.
SECURITY:
Securing the contents of your Jeep begins with you. With a
PRP seat, that security tranforms into phenominal support and
comfort that can't be matched on the trail. If you've never sat
in a PRP, you'll never know the true security of a custom racing
seat.
But
when the stakes become higher, the rocks become bigger, the terrain
utterly rougher, many people tend to rely too much on the inferior back
support from their rig's stock seats. If you look inside an off-road
race truck or a competition rock crawler, you'll see that there isn't a
stock seat in sight. That's because a stock seats are more like a quick
prescription to the chiropractor than support and comfort you may think
they are, especially after a full day of commandeering extreme trails.
PREMIER
RACING PRODUCTS "The Butt You Save Could Be
Yours!"
The
bottom line is that a few bucks on a set of PRP (Premier Racing
Products) seats now can save a lot of pain and a couple of triple digit
chiropractor bills later. For me, 12 years of abuse in the stock seats
of my 1990 YJ was just too much to bear, and it was getting worse. The
OEM seats were ripped, battered and ultimately became a war-torn remnant
of the good times they'd been through. The support they provided was
nearing a dismal state; especially in off-camber crawling conditions and
bone jarring drop offs.
Here's
where the PRP Racing seats excel. After installing them in my YJ and
running them on the Hammers in Johnson Valley, the purpose of the seat
became clear. They are suspension for your backside.
The
seat is designed to securely cradle your back and butt, evenly providing
comfort and support throughout the entire contact patch. This results in
a ride and feel - even through the rough stuff - that you'd never find
in your stock seats. PRP seats provide lateral support for you body that
is tough to beat. And among all the aftermarket seats PRP Racing seats,
with their suspension technology, are the best bang for your buck, being
substantially less expensive than the competition.
They
are light weight, easy to install, and extremely reliable. They
also look and fit very well within the Jeep.
When
ordering from Aaron, PRP's owner, there were a number of simple
questions we had to answer in choosing the absolute perfect seat for our
purpose. Color and the material of the seats are the first things you'll
want to consider. Then, you'll want to get into the option of seat
height, width, and length, allowing PRP Racing to manufacture seats that
are specific to you and your passenger's body dimensions.
What
if you have a child or infant crawling the rocks with you? Well, PRP
Racing even crafts seats for them. I'd say buying them a custom seat
would be inexpensive insurance for their growing bodies. It's the route
I'd take if I had a kid tagging along in my rig.
After
ordering the seats, the seats were ready within two weeks. Since I live
about two hours away from PRP, I made the trek down to the shop to
educate myself in the type of quality that goes into a PRP.
The
fabric and color we chose is very easy to keep clean. In
addition, one of the material contributes to keeping you snug in
your seat.
And
after a quick inspection of the seat's manufacturing, it was clear the
quality we were dealing with here. A lot of seat manufacturers make use
of underside stitching, running the stitches into slits cut into the
material in order to wrap it around the tube frame of the seat. Now PRP
Racing uses this same method, but to a much greater science. Instead of
cutting slits simply cutting slits into the material, PRP uses metal
grommets. What does this mean? Well, the PRP metal grommets aren't prone
to rips and tears at the seams as the competitors might be.
In
closing, I just can't say enough good things about the performance of my
PRP Racing seats and the prompt, informative and genuine service I
received from them. I was glad I went with a set of PRP seats and must
honestly say that am less fatigued at the end of a long day of 'wheeling
than with the inferior stock seats. The comfort and support of the PRP
Racing seats are paramount to anything I've ever sat in.
Because
extreme conditions call for extreme comfort and support.
