Over the summer my Driver side seat came apart on me Mid trail On tin cup.
Rigged a strap to hold it down and stayed that way for about 2 weeks. This led me to seek out options on seats. The caviler swaps are the internet so I figured it’s worth a look at pull n pay. Came across some nice seats I just could not pass on. I would of preferred a non-cloth seat but that what came around.
I think I paid about 60 bucks for them. Not bad for a bolt in swap…………NOT !!
It was not blot in and I need to fab a little to get them to work. Not an issue it was more a time thing.
The rails were shot on the driver side and needed to be repaired……here is that time thing once more.
Got it all cleaned up and welded back together. The front mount went right in place, the release leaver had to be tweaked a little and extensions had to be made to reach the back holes of the new seat.
The track width was about a 3/8th of an inch narrower so more holes had to be put in the mount.
I really like this seat! it hug me on the side and I actually sit inside the seat opposed to the yJ flat seat.
When I got the YJ 5 years ago the seat was missing some padding, well my dog thought it was fun to dig and chew the rest of it out, so now the new seats make to ride a whole lot smoother!
Just finished the passenger side this week, and im really enjoying them!
Now I have to fix my tuffy box as you can see and I also want to add a 3rd bucket seat for my sons cousin.
