A WJ rear seat write up was hard to come by. Lot's of guys did it with ZJ seats, I just struggled to find a WJ one. I eventually did though, and no, it wasn't too hard if you have the right tools. It involved some drilling through the WJ brackets and some through the floor pans (which I avoided as much as possible), and also some cutting of the bottom plastic to fit the wheel wells. But all in all I'm beyond pleased. Beats the park bench by a mile, and they still fold forward/ semi flat (there's about an inch rise from cargo to seats). All in all, it's about an 8 hour project for both. I did mine over a span of a few days because I used our tools at work, and just came in before/ stayed after shifts. I'll put it this way, I changed my oil for the first time by myself last week, and tackled this this week. Not too difficult for anyone with the will to do it.
How do you make it recline? I was looking at some wj seats today and they're fully power

Man it sounds like a lot of fun but mine isn't quite trail worthy. Factory ride height, open diffs, and mediocre tires just don't add up tomuch of a trail rig just yet. I'm working on it though!

Man, as long as your 4x4 works you will be just fine! My cherokee's are the only rigs going with us that have any kind of lift what-so-ever. Most of the trails are VERY easy and if there is something that you cant do or dont feel comfortable doing there is always a high road. Its up to you tho... just getting out of the house and cooking on the fire is enough persuasion for me lol!

I'd really love to go, it sounds like a lot of fun, but i don't think i'll be able to. I got a huge hole in the roof of my shop i gotta get fixxed and my bike needs tires REALLY bad, so im pretty broke right now. I would do good to afford gas to get there and back, let alone the price of admission, and if i broke sumthin,... heaven help us.

Yes sir, i understand. I have been saving for quite a while for this trip and the $2k that has seemed to go missing from my bank since i bought my XJ lol. Thats ok tho, you'll just have to be sure to make the next one! We are going to chattanooga at the end of April to wheel on Big Fork and Lewis Chapel...
