Help With Seat Dilemma

[Jeep Driver]

I bought a pair of Mountaineer seats that will not fit, I sold them last weekend.

 

I'm looking at a pair of Honda S2000 seats that look like they will fit and the color is close (according to pic) but in real life they may not be a match of the '88 camel tan.

He wants $300.

 

 

 

 

Or I can buy what appears to be an excellent condition XJ pair that are gray for $150. The advantage is that they are bolt-in, I know they will fit.

 

 

 

 

I contacted an upholstery shop that quoted me $700 for custom work- here is his work-

 

 

 

 

Thinking longterm.........Which would you choose?

[johnr]

the XJ seats would be my only choise but I don't think they will bolt right in. you'll need to swap out the mounting brackets. there is an awesome how to thread on here on how to do it

I have an extra set of MJ mounts.

The XJ seats are plush and nice.  However, it appears from the photo that they're from a 4-door, meaning they won't lean very far forward like the 2-door ones would.  But if that's not important, I'd get the XJ seats.  They look clean and for $150, they're the most affordable of all three options you posted.

93 or below leather XJ seats would be my choice if I could find a nice set. Color doesn't matter, easy to dye leather.

 

As in glundblad's MJ:   :drool:   :drool:

Thanks Don.

 

 

This answers the question. I'm going to call today on the XJ seats.

 

 

My plan is black and tan interior, black carpet, black and tan 97 doors (I'll spray match the lower section and keep the black trim), color match the console, color match the other panels, keep the dash, black on rear panel, material/color match the headliner.

 

The XJ seats will get two tone black and tan leather.

 

Just having to decide on spending $800-900 on seats, purchase and reupholster.........

 

And of course the wife gave her input.........

^^  Damn, that sounds like a nice interior.  :cheers:

I like the S2000 seats. It would be worth some fan time for me in order to keep from having to pay for custom reupholstering.

I picked up the XJ seats, done deal now.

Easy to dye the xj seats any color you want...much cheaper than re-upholster

XJ seats are nice, but those S2000 seats are COMFY, plus, they really do hold one in when driving in a.... spirited manner.
