Default 1987 XJ 2 Door Front Bucket Seats

Lord have mercy, I cannot for the life of me find a replacement front drivers seat for my 2 door 87 XJ.

The one I have is totally wrecked, shredded on the bottom and the metal tearing through on the sides. There's all kinds of seat replacements for 4 doors, but I need one that has the pulley on the side so that it bends down and people can get into the back.

Anyone know where I can get one?

For future reference for anyone looking at this post later: I never found any

BUT

You can get sideless seat covers, so I can still use the pulley mechanism. I'll be trying those out.

Any seat from 94 down works just gonna loose the tilt forward option . Unless you cut a slot in new seats cover as they are completely removable. I have leather interior from a 4door which I made drivers seat fully functional.

The cushion is right above the aluminum pan I mentioned. It cracks and the cushion goes to pot.

Remove the seat and then the cushion. Super easy. Get a cushion from a passenger seat from a junkyard.
