Default Misch4x4 seat relocation brackets

Saw that Misch finally made their seat relocation brackets, so I bought a set around christmas. Shipped em fast and product looks great. Finally got around to putting them on today and man what a difference these made. I can finally scoot back far enough to get my right leg comfortable. Very easy install. Wish I had these the last 6 years I have owned my XJ

installed mine today....pleased.

have never had an issue (have owned xjs since 93) but after driving my cruze for a couple years, i realized how squished my arms were and it became uncomfortable to drive RELATIVE to my commuter car (cruze) and now its much more comfortable

install is easy

the kit is easily made yourself, but im pretty sure id just buy another one if i had to do it all over.

Not everyone can cut a strip of metal to length and drill holes in it.

Those people are called "customers."

Seriously, buy a $17 harbor freight 4.5" angle grinder, $7 for 10 extra blades, buy some 1/4" or 3/16" steel flat stock, a can of spray paint, and a cheap harbor freight corded drill and bits.

Build the brackets and paint them.

While the paint is drying return the crappy drill and bits to HF.

Install the brackets, and enjoy your new angle grinder.

And yet, there are still people who can't actually do that and would rather pay someone else to do it. I'm reminded of a member on this very board who spent hours trying to cut through a frozen bolt with the wrong wheel on an angle grinder.

If you cant manage rough cutting a piece of steel, and drilling 4 holes.

Go buy a prius with a warranty.

Or if you can manage it, sell them to people who can't.

Its about valuable time... I have a little HF welder and angle grinder, but my time is valuable... working 6 days a week, alot of times it means more to me to pay somebody else... I will probably make me a set of these, but you also have to look at how others value their time....
