I have a "stink jeep" problem in my lightly modified 1998 XJ. It's pretty bad. It is a mixture of rat urine/feces and mold, from the Jeep sitting for a few years. I've tried the usual remedies, and I still can't get anyone to ride in it. It actually makes the whole garage stink if I park it with the windows down. I've tried airing it out for about 3 months. I'm thinking about getting a carpet kit and replacement seats to get rid of the smell.
Anyone got a lead on an aftermarket seats? I was thinking something a bit racing-seat for the front, and maybe having the rear recovered with something more mudproof (the dog needs a place to sit). Maybe upgrade to a ZJ seating, but I don't want leather. I'm tall, and wouldn't mind the driver's seat moving back about another 2 inches. I have all manual seats now.
Another option might be to take it to an upholstry shop for the seats, and to buy the carpet kit. Any opinions?
