Corbeau Baja XRS Seat in Black Vinyl and Black Cloth


Do you know what one of the most waited for seats for the truck, Jeep and off road community was?  Yep, that’s right – the Baja XRS seat that is made by Corbeau.  This seat is in all actuality the result of an advertising campaign where Corbeau asked for input on what it would take to make the best suspension seat that has a reclining feature.  When Corbeau started that campaign, they got loads of responses.  Those responses were taken and analyzed until in 2008 the rules of the game when it comes to suspension seats that recline were changed forever with the introduction of the Baja RS.  This seat was one of the very first reclining suspension seats in the world.

Three years after that Corbeau realized that what they had still wasn’t the ultimate in terms of suspension seats that recline and they were not ready to settle.  That is when they came up with the Baja XRS suspension seat. 

Suspension seats are made for off road driving but Corbeau waned those who don’t have any desire to leave the highway to be able to enjoy the comfort of a suspension seat too.  They also wanted to have a seat that satisfied the needs of their off road clients.  The result is the Baja XRS.

The whole point of a suspension seat is to absorb the energy from impacts so that the person sitting in the seat doesn’t absorb that energy with their back and legs.  With suspension seats made by other companies, there is cut foam used in the seats.  The problem with this is that over time the cut foam can and will start to wear and break down.  This leads to more stress on the user’s back and legs.  With the Corbeau Baja XRS seat they use memory foam that has been injection molded.  This type of foam will hold up better for longer than plain old cut foam. Corbeau pairs this memory foam with their unmatched proprietary suspension system to give you the ultimate in suspension seat comfort.

This seat is a direct fit part for all of the Jeep CJ 7s and Jeep YJs.  It is also compatible with most of the Jeep CJ 5s.  Don’t despair if you don’t have one of these vehicles though.  With the addition of the custom made brackets made by Corbeau, this seat will fit in nearly any vehicle. 

The Baja XRS seat comes to you in black cloth and black vinyl and can accommodate people with a waist size of up to 42 inches.

Please Note

If you are putting this seat in the Jeep TJ, expect the reclining mechanism to hit your roll bar while attempting to slide your seat fully back.  This will cause you to lose up to 2 inches of slide.  While most of the time, this doesn’t pose a problem, if you happen to be very tall you might want to take this into consideration.
