TJ Fitment Overview
TJ seats have a distinct profile requiring TJ-specific patterning -- JK-era covers will not fit correctly. Most TJ trim levels lack side-curtain airbags, so airbag compatibility is less of a concern than on JK/JL. Many TJs run aftermarket high-back bucket seats, which have their own separate cover compatibility considerations not covered here.
