Rohls Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi Guys, What's the best way to go on getting bucket seats into my MJ? I got a tired bench seat. I wouldn't mind buying the seats new...what will fit, look and function great, and is the most economical? Where do i get them from? I know I could rob a couple of worn out seat from a cherokee, but I'd like something fresh. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 NOS XJ/MJ bucket seat bottom pans are still available.

Keyav8r Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 There are several threads on the forum on different seats for MJs including buckets and a few split benches. Anything other than MJ buckets will require some modification/fabrication. I found some XJ buckets in good shape and fabbed brackets to mount them in my truck. If you can find a pair of MJ brackets it makes the job much easier, but those are pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cz777 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 i made some xj work on mine - on the front mount leg a 1/2 hole must be about 1.25 back needs a 1.25 wide steel flat stock by 1/8 thick with bolts and nuts to match the pattern ...this works the seat is higher but more space under the seat ...easier to clean and store things etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are crazy expensive. I was lucky to get more than 75% off. :yes: Unfortunately the newer seat bottoms are entirely different, separate frame and pad. But the left and right sides are identical so they are swapable as I'm sure you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
