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 |

Re: CJ Seat Mounting Recomendations?
I've seen both. OMIX are ok but lightly built. They are made in China, ie
less quality, inch measurements converted to metric to build from then built by slave labor. Besttop are as good or better than OE. If you can find stock on Ebay go for it. I'd want to inspect them first. OE ones will have high mileage so carefully check the pivot points. -- 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.
