Warthog Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Member Well I got the carpet in my mj and finishing the install on the xj. Putting the seats in the mj. My problem is couldn’t find a bench seat so decided to go with xj buckets. The riser has been cut on the ones that came with it so was just gonna change out the riser from on of my donor xj’s. One is electric so that is out from what I’m told. The other is an 87 and the riser is different from the ones that came with the mj. The mj is an 86 but the seats are from an xj. They look identical except for different color. The riser on the mj ones has an oval opening with a hole off to the side on each end. The xj replacement one is shorter wider and no opening. Anyone know when these changed up? Man I hope this isn’t too confusing for whoever is reading. The reason I ask is the ones in the mj actually line up with the bolt holes…I will have to drill one up front on the inside. The other one doesn’t line up at all. Any help or advice?

Not really the buckets are just missing the inside front hole on the mj floor. The buckets I had in there came from an xj. Just don’t know what year. The ones I have out of the donors, 87 and 92 as well as mine which is an 87 are flat. Seen some on eBay like the ones I need but can’t get an answer as to what year they came out of. Was there a floor pan change on xj in the early years? I just need the front riser part and don’t wanna spend hundreds on a part when all I need is the riser portion. I was gonna find a part out. But need some parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well did some more Diggin and you are correct! Apparently the p.o. Took the risers off the original seat and put em on the xj seats! I apologize for doubting you. So now the hunt begins! Peace to you and yours and thank you for your input! Without it I wouldn’t have checked and no tellin what me and my brother would have come up with!

Warthog Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Exactly what I’m having issues with!!! I have got to research stuff way better before I just run out and buy stuff! Figured oh I’ll just cut a plate and bridge the gap! Nope! The adjuster won’t allow for it. May have to call my brother on this one. Greatest out of the box thinker ever hit the planet! Super nice brackets by the way. I may grab a set anyway and fab something up to make em all fit. How much you get on em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
