so this morning i was thinking to myself, hrmm suppose i could upradge the driver's seat. SNAP the front left bracet breaks. I know i can always fix the bracket but the seat itself is pretty shot and wouldn't might looking forward to something new and improved.

I'm looking at the Rugged Ridge XHD Reclining Front Seat; However i've seen Smittybilt with some interesting stuff! but wanted to farm it out to the community and see what i got.

5 gallon bucket bolted to the ground with a bungie cord for a seat belt. You can screw a piece of plywood to the back of the bucket if you want a back rest but who needs that?!

Do you wheel your vehicle? I don't know if it would be a good idea to spend money on new seats if they're just going to get dirty right away. If it's just a mall crawler then new ones would be good. Have you considered junkyard ones?

 

grand cherokee seats from the junk yard. comfy as ****. my buddy put smittybuilt seats in his wrangler and had a tear in them after a few months. they replaced it but who wants to deal with that

its a daily driver

 

Thanks Frank. Mine is fixin to break as well.

 

I have WJ seats in my XJ. Can't beat how comfortable they are. Easily bolted in!

 

Thanks jeepin xj!

How was the install? did you need any of the additional mounting hardware?

 

He actually makes a valid point. If you spend a lot of time on the trails, it may be worth looking into some cheaper used seats from the JY. I know I have to clean mine thoroughly every time I get back from a trip. If it is mainly a DD or commuter, the extra money on nicer looking new seats may be we'll spent. Especially if you spend a lot of time on the road.

I tried some suspension seats a while back, while they were comfy, I was not entirely convinced they were worth the money. I think some factory style replacements or some from a GC would be worth considering.

 

kids will be kids I guess.

 

Just unbolt the brackets from your factory seats and bolt them to the GC seats. All holes line up so no modifications required.

 

If you have the coin get the Mastercraft Baja RS seats, they are friggin nice and durable.




*Not my XJ

 

The OEM seats in my XJ were leather and torn to shreds with a Wally World eat cover holding everything together. A little luck on Craigslist scored me 2 Cherokee country seats for 25 bucks and they are incredibly comfy.

 

CL is the way to go. I got a pair of ZJ and pair of WJ seats for $30. Sold the ZJ seats for $30 so the WJ didn't cost me a thing.

 

If his seat is breaking like mine is, hell need new brackets as well.
