    Options for replacing cushions in M998

    Because they are a known quantity. :) Custom... may be better, or may not. Even great seat makers don't get everything right on the first try when custom designing seats for a new application. If I have $600 for a seat it would be hard to justify the risk of hoping that the custom shop does...

Last night I converted 2 high back Commander seats to rear seats for the Battlewagon. We are letting the LizardSkin coatings cure today and tomorrow...

    Funny you would say this. We ONLY did written reviews for YEARS. However, people kept asking for videos... so we spent a lot of time and $ learning how to produce videos, buying good video equipment, etc. In this case we don't have a full written review.
