Muncher Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Not quite sure if anyone has done this but has anyone done heated seats on the factory bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've seen a bunch of simply seat covers that have heating elements in them and plug into the 12v outlet. or are you thinking of putting them under the fabric? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 found a couple options on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trillium-Universal-Heated-Black-Car-Bench-Seat-Cushion-for-Automobile-TWI-1604/152327981928?epid=1672230732&hash=item2377748b68:g:QjkAAOSw7XZXhsJe https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Heated-Black-Car-Bench-Seat-Cushion-Auto-Truck-Van-Winter-Xmas-Gift/192547041527?epid=1652460275&hash=item2cd4b2b0f7:g:iAoAAOSwDkVaFU9s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I was talking about in fabric. I'm guessing a normal one would work though just wanted to know if anyone else has done it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCO6 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If you end up going with heaters for under the fabric I can vouch for theses ones from Dorman. I just put them in my LJ with Tiburon seats and they work great. It was a pretty straight forward job and I imagine it would be the same for a bench seat. I was able to peel back the fabric enough to install the heating pads. It wasn't necessary to completely remove the covers. https://www.amazon.ca/Dorman-628-040-Universal-Seat-Heater/dp/B002U6IL9O/ref=sr_1_2?crid=KWX4271KRODQ&keywords=dorman+seat+heater+kit&qid=1579866487&sprefix=dorman+%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ive been thinking of doing this myself when I get around to recovering my bench. There are kits available to install the heating elements under your factory covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I used this set off ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Seat-Heater-Kit-Carbon-Fiber-Universal-Heated-Cushion-Warmer-2-level-5-level/253250702661?hash=item3af6eb0d45:m:mXIrGvHoOIac5B-1Oe9G0IA I bought mine 4 years ago. The listing has changed since then. Mine uses a round button, has 2 heat levels, and has a pad for the seat base and seat back for two seats. I put them in the aftermarket seats in my CJ-7 and they work really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
