replacement seats

[highctry]

I have a 90 MJ, it has bucket seats in it but they are not orginal. I have no idea what they are from but they do not fit the vehicle. I would like to replace them with another set of bucket seats, would I be able to replace with a set from a XJ.

[JeepcoMJ]

yes but from a 2 door xj so that they still tip forward. that way you have access behind the seats.

If you don't have buckets will they still go right in?

You will need to adapt whatever non-MJ seat you find to the floor brackets in the MJ. Fortunately the MJ bucket and MJ bench seats both use the same floor brackets. :D

Has anybody take a look at Renault seats? The pedestal seat was a big sales pitch for Renault. Alliance is the model.

I just swapped my bench out this weekend for some buckets out of a 86' manche. Shoulda done this a year ago! The only issue I found was that the seat belt buckles between 86' and 89' changed. :nuts: . To bad becouse the 86' ones had a cool AMC logo on the buckles.

That brings up another tip: the female side of the seatbelt buckle has a plastic sheath around it in a bucket equipped truck, but doesn't in a bench truck. It just means that with no mods, the female side might fall down between the seat and center console (and that full center console can easily swap from an MJ or XJ if you grab the brackets that hold the it to the transmission tunnel).

The falling down seatbelt thing annoyed me enough that I ditched the centre console.

 

 

I'd like to see people look for better seats than the XJ ones... I've seen ZJ seats swapped in.
