Pros
Got put on pretty easy.
The construction looks pretty good. the bags add a lot of extra space for the little stuff that we all carry.
Two of the pouches are pretty large I can fit shorts, socks and a t shirt in one

I moved the pouches around a little bit to fit our needs and they attach great. The hardware used to hold them seems very solid.
the hydration pack is also pretty well made and for free no complaints here

Cons
{Made in China} :furious3: Come on guys we need jobs here too.
They fit kinda loose on the YJ stock seats even with the straps at the end of there travel.
One of the pouches is about to small for any good. My tire deflater pack won't even fit.
The side flaps are useless if you have a center console. the door side is useless as well.

All in all I would buy them again. they were on last weekend and filled up pretty quick with stuff. just unbutton the pouch and the crackheads can't still them or the stuff.

my $0.02

Figures bought just a little to soon. lol
The only down side on these to date is they have fadded a bit. they are still holding up well but by the end of summer they are going to look pretty well worn.

Sorry guys BUT I ordered them and they just didn't fit right on my TJ and like was mentioned part of each side towards to console was worthless ( couldn't use it). Oh well I hope you have better luck - my 02 worth!

these look alot like what I use. I just use the ammo bearing vest that the army gave me (minus all the ammo of course). It is the same design and mounting system (MOLLE)

This one was probably invented by some guy in the military that said, you know what would work good

I feel like if you spray the covers with desert boot protector it may help with the fading, it's made for the nylon sides on tan boots, that may help.http://www.uscav.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=8821&utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=googlebase&cm_mmc=Google%20Base-_-Products-_-SF-_-V1 (http://www.uscav.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=8821&utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=googlebase&cm_mmc=Google%20Base-_-Products-_-SF-_-V1)
...now if they only made bullet proof spray...

Having said all of this, I feel like a ruck secured to the spare tire would do just the job and not take up the interior space.

I may try some protective spray but now over the weekend one of the stiches has come unglued. these aren't looking so good now and less then 6 months old.
