Not for a while. I have to order them in sets of 10 or 20. So enough people will have to want them again in a few months or whenever.

So MJ brackets with XJ seats, right? Can’t put XJ brackets in on an MJ without modifications? Can I put bucket seats on bench brackets? 

Posted

the brackets that touch the floor are different between the MJ and XJ because the floorpans are different. 

 

yes, MJ bench floor brackets are the same as MJ bucket floor brackets.  :L:

Would anyone happen to know the difference in the dimensions of the MJ and XJ seat brackets? I have some XJ seat tracks and was wondering if it’s even worth to make the adjustments to have them fit in my ‘88 MJ

Xj and mj Seats are the same seats. Only difference is the floor they mount to.....

So if MJ bench and bucket floor brackets are the same, and MJ/XJ seats are the same -- then MJ bench floor brackets will readily accept XJ bucket seats?

 

Then I guess I'm sorta confused as to why so many MJ owners are in the market for new floor brackets?  Is there an advantage to the new production brackets that I'm missing?

XJ buckets are everywhere. Whether they're 2 door or 4 door buckets. So people want to replace the mj bench. Since mj buckets are harder to find, they use xj Seats and need mj brackets to fit the floor.

And also because these trucks are 30 years old and most of th brackets are rusted away.

If they're pre1996 seats, put them on MJ brackets and put in MJ

Awesome, thank you! I’ll go return the XJ tracks since I won’t have any use for them

To revive an old thread. Are there any people running seats that didn't come from the factory. No mj/xj/wj/zj buckets. Does anyone have a "racing seat"? PRP, corebu, mastercraft, or any generic ones

Do you actually say it "Corbu"? I've only seen it written, but Corbeau is pretty clearly "core-BOH" to me. :dunno:

 

I don't have any experience with manufactured racing seats but I have participated in making one out of carbon fibre. We used dense foam to carve out a fairly comfortable seat shape, made a negative out of plaster to form a mold, then laid up the carbon fibre over the mold. I want to say we went about ten layers of 2x2 twill weave, with aluminum brackets poked through a few extra reinforcement layers where we needed to bolt it down. It came out lightweight, and rigid enough to support you but pliable enough to conform a bit for a touch more comfort.
