krustyballer16 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I finalize the drawings tomorrow and they'll get cut hopefully next week. I had factory roll bar brackets and factory bench seat brackets drawn up. Roll bar bracket set consists of both front mounts (one driver and one passenger) and 2 inner wheel well backer plates No idea on cost yet. Gotta make sure they work. But let's set the price on the higher side just in case...$120-$150 shipped. Factory bench seat brackets. Driver and passenger. Not sure how they fit bucket seats as in final height. They fit bucket seats, to convert xj seats over, but may affect height . Not sure. No one has given me that info yet... Again, gonna set price high just in case....$80-$100 shipped I'm just wanting to see how many people would be interested before I order any more than the prototype.... Let me know...

Eagle Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I think any height problems with conversion buckets is if you use the early XJ buckets with the tilt-a-whirl feature. That mechanism adds height to the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mechanism adds height to the seat. I could see that. Are those brackets different than other xj brackets?And I figured the thickness of the @$$ part of the bench compared to bucket might be different.

Pete M Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 based on the pic (and not personal experience) it appears that the curved slider had shorter brackets underneath it and that would account for the extra height after dropping them on MJ floor brackets.

krustyballer16 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'll have to get some sets to some people with the different seats for them to tryThese brackets won't be anything fancy. Just cut out and bent. Not stamped like factory. I'll have drawings tomorrow of them Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Pete is right, the rocking chair pedestals are shorter to take up the height difference in the seat. The MJ seat brackets don't have any height to give up due to the MJ's heavily sloped floor - in the rear the pedestals are already pretty much as short as they can be. The XJ rocking chair seat pedestals have legs that are about as long on all 4 corners as the rear legs on the MJ pedestal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I guess what I really need to know is if the bench seat brackets will work for all bucket seats...As long as they don't sit the seat too high or at too much of an angle...Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I would definitely be interested in roll bar brackets but am currently not ready to jump on them. If you offer them for sale, I would be a future customer for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm assuming lwb and swb brackets are the same right?And like I said. Prices could be cheaper not sure yet. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 So after I check the prototype sets in a couple weeks, I think I'll be fine to order 5 sets of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose_XJ88 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'm interested in a set of roll bar brackets. I'm just hoping they come out cheaper than initial Guestimate to lighten the hit of telling the wife. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I would be interested in the roll bar brackets, but I'm still looking for a SWB factory rollbar. Can you reproduce those? Leave the three pieces separate for easier shipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwisr Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I would also be interested in a set of roll bar brackets as long as they fit like the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the brackets so it's just a matter of trying to find time to fab them myself..[lol yeh right] or paying the going rate for custom stuff.

They're exact copies of a factory set. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas7667 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'd be interested in a full set of roll bar brackets too. if its possible Id like to get a extra pair of the two angle brackets seen in Figure F as well. For some reason only one side were completely rusted beyond use on the set of brackets I got with my roll bar. If I can get those then I'd be able to complete a set and have another for the next Comanche that comes my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably just sell them as complete sets since that's how they'll be cut out... might be able to cut you a deal on ordering 2 setsAlong with anybody else that wants multiple sets.Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
