Zebvance Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I currently have grey vinyl bucket seats in my 1988 mj. They are starting to rip and they have a "lean" to them. I'm not 100 percent sure but I don't think that they came in it stock. I think that the PO put them in. I say this because on the center console I have has the cut out for a ebrake lever, However my ebrake is on the floor. Anyway, I have been looking at a good replacement for seats that isn't going to run me a arm and a leg. I would like a seat that has more "bucket" to them and are cloth and in decent shape. I tend to find myself sliding around on my seats while I'm wheeling. It just so happens my buddy has a 1991 Mr2 that he is scraping. I started looking at the seats and they look like a great replacement to my stock ones. They look to have a close foot print of the stock seats. They are black cloth and more of a racing style. They definitely look like they hold you in the seat better. Not only that but I will be able to keep the functionality of my stock style seats because they flip forward for access in the rear cab of the truck. I asked my buddy about them and he said I could have them for free if I wanted. I'm just wanting to know what yall think about this swap and if anyone just so happened to have already done it. I am aware that I will most likely adapt the seats to the OEM sliders that I have. Here is a picture of the seats I found on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I am not sure what a MR2 is, but folks retrofit car seats in Jeeps all the time. If they are similar size to the MJ seats, I don't see why they wouldn't work for you. Why not try? The cost is right ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If you can adapt the MR2(?) seat to the Mj pedestal it should work.... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If they aren't too wide and you have a welder, I don't see why they wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebvance Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for all the input. I'm going to get some measurements soon but I think they will work great them. Also sorry for not being more clear on the car it is a 1991 Toyota mr2. Here is a picture if one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87mjdriver Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I thought about 93 civic seats, but what looks to be typical with the little ricer cars is the width of the mounting points on the car seats, doesn't really work with the Comanche and its tranny tunnel. more common is S10 or Ranger seats oh and Dakotas, more popular than the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebvance Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 went out yesterday to get the seats but my buddy forgot that the mr2 is on a trailer, so we are going to have to come back with reams and pull it off to get the seats out. Hopefully in a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
