XJ bucket seat swap

[Rubikahn]

Looking at some XJ buckets to swap into the Comanche. Found these online and I’m not sure if they’re the ones with the curved base? From what I’ve read, if they are they should still work, but will sit a little higher? Can anyone verify from the pics? They look curved to me but I’m not 100%

Ok, ty. I already have a pair of Comanche seat tracks waiting to get bolted onto these.

The seats frames are the same on tilt and non tilt, it's all in the seat tracks

No, they were for sale locally. I ended up buying them this past week.

Before you install the new buckets, Did you have Buckets or a Bench in it??

Bench Brackets are not the same as Bucket Brackets.

Got a set of repop brackets from Brandon a long time ago.

To answer your question, yes, it will sit higher. I have done this swap. You'll need to experiment with bracket placement to be sure it's going to be mounted comfortably for you. You'll be doing some drilling as well.

 

Here's my post. It's not a write-up, but maybe it can help.
