What Seats?

[mr20turbo]

I am looking to replace the bench seat in my lwb MJ with some buckets. I was wondering what seats people are running, and what sort of brackets needed to be made to make them work. It seems that XJ buckets would be a no brainer, but I would like to see other options as well.

 

If i do end up going with the XJ buckets, will the center console work as well?

 

Thanks in advance,

Actually, mfpdm did a DIY write up on this subject, and it's a good read-

No pics of it in the truck, by the time we got done all the cutting and test fitting it was kind of dark. I cut the bases off of an MJ's bench and bolted them onto the power tracks using 1/4" plates and grade 8 bolts i picked up at tractor supply. The seats themselves are a little wider and a tight fit. I wanted a higher seating position, but i think it's too high. I'm 6' tall and there isn't much head clearance. If i decide to keep the seats, i'll probably have to have some custom base mounts made and i'll probably have it all welded together for some peace of mind.

 

I probably would have abandoned the project a while back but the seats were cheap and they match my door panels exactly.

I may have a set of MJ bucket seat brackets later this week, I`ll post them up in the for sale section if I get them
