Lots of scraps, bits and pieces all over the place message-wise.. It would be good to have one thread dedicated to the topic.

Of interest would be -

• Whose kit did you use (links please)
• What was the cost
• What was the degree of difficulty
• How well did it perform
• Was it an excessive load on your electrical system (note other electrical options installed please)

Thanks!

I did it the easy way, bought the seats from Twisted Stitch with the heaters already installed. They do keep your butt and lower back toasty!

Sorry don't remember the cost, got them from UTV Inc who installed them for me. Once again, performed great, and I didn't notice any extra load. I ran them, my 40 inch light bar, head lights, Rugged Radio, and had no problems.

Last time i looked into this you could get the carbon fiber trim to fit pads for 20 bucks per seat and up depending on what was included. I have plenty of switches, wire, ect so its a cheap easy project.

You might not have understood my answer. He asked if there was a drain, and I listed everything I ran at once, and i.had the Rugged Radio intercom on, and listening to the Ipod along with everything else.

I think he is thinking I have a Rugged Radio incorporated into the seat. That would be a NO

Nope I am looking for a radio and I wanted more information on the rugged one

I did a write up on my heated seats. They keep you toasty. I'm pretty sure I posted the Amazon link in my write up and it was like 40-60$ if I remember correctly

Seats are installed and quickly wired up as soon as I get my good switches tomorrow I can finish them up. But them seem to work decent sitting in the garage. We'll see how well they work on the trail when it's in the 30s this weekend

34 with snow/rain at Tall Pines Atv Park. Heated seats work great but I only have high cause I tried rewiring it with different switches and ran out of time. High is a little to much I think low would work out good. High I have to keep turning on and off but definantly worth it.

Here is the link for the seat heaters i ended up going with, Carbon Fiber Universal Heated Seat Heater Kit 2 Seats | eBay , it took me about 2 hour to install the heaters in my ride and they work really nice, and have not had a problem with voltage with mine.
