I found this and I have to share it

Got mine in the mail today and look and feel pretty good. The material feels kind of thin but for that kind of money who cares
2 seats for 90.57 shipped and only took about 3 days

Dang that's about the price the junkyard charges per bucket seat and frame here lol. I need seats bad...when you get them mounted in there share if they and you fit good in there. I think a seat cover would help with the bad reviews on the thin material.

Not sure what year you have but the seats I put in my 97 seem huge and rub the door and console. Plan on making or modifing your mounts.

Set mine in and they look like there going to fit perfect. Going to mount them to the stock frame, but it's coming to some metal to make a cross bar

I believe they come with the same sliders as the seats I bought from JCW also. Basically a couple bars that slide and an adjuster lever. I just modified my factory brackets to get my seats to fit. Worked out quite well overall. The seats look nice though. If I had another truck to get seats for I might consider them.

Yeah I just got some angle iron and made it work on stock mounts. The sliders are to bolt them in to a CJ or yj I think

Mine sat the same height as stock without the seat adjuster, but I have different seats. Same company though. I probably mounted mines the same way you did yours LOL.
