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.

Fitment Notes
- Most TJ trims have no side-curtain airbags -- verify your specific trim/year before assuming this, but it's not a common TJ feature.
- Rear jump seats in two-door TJ models are notoriously cramped -- seat covers or seat swaps are common upgrades among TJ owners.
- If you're running aftermarket high-back bucket seats, none of the covers above will fit -- check with the seat manufacturer instead.
- Contact Bartact directly to confirm current TJ fitment coverage in their catalog.
