CJ Seat Mounting Recomendations?
I need to replace the seat mounting assemblies on my 86 CJ. It has stock seats and the mounts are worn out. I have found all sorts of prices from different manufacturers. My question is this: Has anyone found something they can recommend? Thanks in advance, Bruce |

I used a bestop seat bracket. Works like the original. I had a home built
one for years but now my kids are older I wanted to be able to flip the seat forward so they can get in easier, otherwise, I'd have kept the fixed units I made. -- Rich Harris 1986 CJ7 4.0l head w/MOPAR MPFI, Tom Woods driveshaft, 4:10 w/Detroits F/R, 33" BFG MT's, Rubicon Express springs, ProComp MX6 shocks, revolver shackles, and a couple more fun tricks.

Stock seat brackets are fairly common and relatively cheap. Damn sight cheaper than aftermarket. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP-...spagenameZWDVW http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...spagenameZWDVW http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...spagenameZWDVW http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Seat-...spagenameZWDVW That search was for "cj seat brackets".

Re: CJ Seat Mounting Recomendations?
I saw those Bestop versions, goodness they are expensive but would most likely be as good or better than the originals! I also saw some offered by Omix-Ada which were less expensive. However, not being able to actually inspect them in person I am wary of buying something useless! Mine old ones look brand new, but the pivot points are wallowed out which lets the seat wobble around too much for my taste. I would be paranoid of buying used ones, because when I removed mine from the Jeep they appeared to be ok. It takes the weight of the passenger and seat to show up the worn pivots! Thanks for the advice folks, Bruce |
