Re: YJ seats???
On the '95 Model "S" that I have the passenger's seat mounting bracket folds
forward, but the driver's side does not. If you want to load stuff through
the driver's side, you have to slide the seat forward and fold the seat back
down. I don't think you could get a passenger in that side without some
lubricant.

Re: YJ seats???
They will work . You may have to make a new bracket but they will fit.
My 87 Yj's seats where trashed . So i made some brackets out of flat
steel and grade 8 bolts and mounted a set i had out of a CJ5 i picked up
out of a guy's yard.
They are getting shot so I've been have *** looking for some new one's
Not bad on short trips but any thing over an hour and back and butt
feel it.

Re: YJ seats???
Oh thanks.. somehow I missed this post (did not referesh). Do you
happen to know if the seat backs on the TJ seats go up any higher than
the fixed position on the YJ seats?
cheers
