Default Corbeau seats install and thoughts with pics.

The background--- 99 XJ 4X4 113000 On the clock. I drive 200 to 300 miles a week for work and do lite wheeling when I can, trails and such nothing crazy. Can't lie I like keeping her clean. OK the goods, I'm going on my 3rd pair of jy seats trying to find something more comfy then the stock seats, tried zjs, a newer xj and a Libby. Nothing really worked for me and I don't want those ebay race seats. Settled on Corbeau because of the different options avaliable, price and bolt in bracket. Picked up the brackets a while ago and them sitting in the garage till I could save some coin for the seats.

Bought Baja RS seats from moris4x4 they have free shipping and military discount, that was enough for me. I called them up and asked if they could put a lumber support in the driver side. Got done with no issues. Seats showed up 4 days later direct form Corbeau. First impression was these are nice a legit step up from stock. The brackets were powder coated and seemed sturdy, not flimsy at all.

Install was straight forward remove old seats clean, spray, disenfect old coffee stains and put new ones in. There will be some heavy petting in order to line up the front 2 holes nothing to bad. After a sold 45 min drive to today I have to say the seats rock. Comfy and tight at the same time. The lumber support is nice to have. I feel like my posture is better while I'm driving. I'm 5'10" 205lbs 34 -36 waist and they feel snug like im being held. Man this is long. Pics I will update iba couple weeks.

[Shipping box








Bracket installed, hole for seat belt was powder coated and took a bit for the screw to catch.


They sit a bit higher then stock, my head is 4 to 5 inches from the liner I'm 5'10".


The next 2 pics are to show you how tight they are up against the center counsole.









Rear view, my kids aprove.


The lumber support is a bldder which you control via air pump. The one that came with it seems cheap top one in pic. Luckily I have a hospital grade one with a screw lockout in the garage that I will swap out sooner or later.
