Working on it
 
I'm trying to! Time is the issue. I worked on it Thursday. Need to make a hardware run for the tire carrier and cut some end cap plates and tack it together.

What year of jku did these come out of?

oldblue#2 03-26-2017 01:22 PM

They came out of a 2009, but I would say that the brackets haven't changed in the Jk line since the beginning. 2013 and up might be easier though, as the seats are more rounded in shape.

Are the seats that much more comfortable/firmer-more supportive? than our Xj seats?
very curious!

for me and my girl friend, they are much more firm, and very much more comfortable. Well worth the effort.

cost?
Im planning on looking for my XJ

oldblue#2 04-02-2017 03:19 PM

Cost?
 
I paid 100 for all four pieces. 20 bucks in hardware, and about 20 hours or so of work, including paint.
