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

Re: YJ seats???
You should be testing them out....
I for one cannot fit into the early TJ seats. The backs are made for
small people and I am 6'4".
To change the position of the back of my CJ seats, all I would need
would be a few washers under the back two mounting bolts. This would
change the seat bottom too though.

Re: YJ seats???
AHh. the TJ seat are smaller. Which is PERFECT for me. My problem I'm
having is that the fixed position of the YJ seat is a bit too reclined
for me to reach the shifter comfortably. this vehicle is clearly not
ergonomically designed for a 5'4" woman.I thought of the washer idea,
but i am concerned that in tipping the seat-back up, the seat front
will tip down and feel a bit like i am slipping out of the seat. I am
also worreid that in raising the seat, it will make it that much more
difficult to get out from behind the wheel.
Ideally, tilt steering and a reclining seat back would make my drive
more enjoyable. Does anyone know if tilt steering is available on
YJ????? I need a new column anyway

will tip down and feel a bit like i am slipping out of the seat. I am
also worreid that in raising the seat, it will make it that much more
difficult to get out from behind the wheel.
Ideally, tilt steering and a reclining seat back would make my drive
more enjoyable. Does anyone know if tilt steering is available on
YJ????? I need a new column anyway

having is that the fixed position of the YJ seat is a bit too reclined
for me to reach the shifter comfortably. this vehicle is clearly not
ergonomically designed for a 5'4" woman.I thought of the washer idea,
but i am concerned that in tipping the seat-back up, the seat front
will tip down and feel a bit like i am slipping out of the seat. I am
also worreid that in raising the seat, it will make it that much more
difficult to get out from behind the wheel.

Re: YJ seats???
The steering column should be a standard 'Saganaw' column. These are
used in full sized GM vehicles and some small mid size like Acadians or
Chevettes. Camaros used them too. A full sized GM van or pickup also.
By the by my 5'2" wife likes to use a obusform seat back because it
moves her just that little forward so she can reach easier.
You could also maybe reposition the seat on the track to get it a bit
more forward.
