I had always said I would never put racing seats in my jeep because I daily drove it and hated getting in and out of many of the seats my buddies had in their jeeps. Don’t get me wrong, they are great on the trail, but I wear a suit to work sometimes and don’t want to fuss with getting myself into a full blown suspension seat on the way to work.
Well, a few years ago, PRP came out with their Daily Driver version of their popular suspension seat, it featured lower side bolsters to help with getting into and out of the vehicle. Even after seeing them and reading about them, I still swore I would never get a seat that I couldn’t fold and tumble to have easy access for backseat passengers. Well, times they are a changing.

A few months ago I won a Gift Certificate towards the purchase of some PRP seats from Method Motorsports in California. I had been trying to decide what to do about my ripped and torn stock seats for a while. The foam had degraded over time and I was sitting on metal frame which is not a good feeling when bouncing around offroad. So I decided to pick up a pair of the PRP Daily Drivers to fix my worn out seat problem.
PRP makes each seat to order, so your seats are custom to you down to the stitching type. I ordered my Daily Drivers in the standard size with Double Stitching and Cordura Material. I avoided the piping as I had seen it fail in the past on other seats and I want these to last forever. I chose the Cordura Material for the same reason, vinyl would have been easier to clean, but I’m hoping for a long life out of the Cordura with no cracks like my stock jeep seats had.
Less than two weeks from the time I ordered them, there was a big box waiting for me on my front porch. Here are a few pictures from the install.
NOTE: It was overcast and rainy the morning I did the install and the seats truly look green in the pictures, after having them in the jeep in the sun and other lighting and calling PRP to confirm, they are indeed Dark Grey, but the Cordura material they use has a green tint when in certain lighting situations.
They arrived in a box much smaller than I anticipated, They had them packed together like shoes.
My first look when I opened the box and unbagged them. I promptly proceeded to sit down and have a test fit.
Here you can see the Cordura material up close as well as the double stitching option that I chose. This also shows the true color of the grey material.
This is the picture I sent to PRP to ask them if I got the correct color haha. You can see the low side bolsters which still hold you in quite nicely.
Here is a view of the bottom of the seat. These seats are hand assembled and it shows. The attention to detail is something worth noting. From this view you can see the optional slot for the sub belt, I chose to leave out the slots for 5 points on these seats covers.
