Default rear bucket seats

has anyone done rear bucket seats in a cerca 98 xj (limited)? what kind of brackets do i need? i don't need them to be on rails or anything for what i want to do. i saw some sweet buckets in my buddy's cj with speaker cut outs in the headrest that i would like to do in the back and eventually the front. anyone know where to find some of those? i'm planning on tearing out the interior down to the bare sheet metal and redoing it with something like a rhino liner for durability and easy cleaning.

it will be tight fit because the way the rear floor sits higher then the front if you use a bracket to raise it it will have to be very short so it the people that sit there wont hit their heads on the ceiling

i was thinking of some sports car buckets that practically sit on the floor and fabricating something up as low as possible.

it could definitely be done but i think you will have to fab up your own seat mounts

I put buckets in the back of my old 95 XJ. I grinded off the curved portion of the seat track, leaving just the rails and bolted then down. Ok for kids, but not much headroom. Look at the difference between the front floor pan and the rear. Not a practical idea but can be dome if you want.
