Seat Compatablility question

i have a 1969 cj5 with the drivers side under seat gas tank...anyone know of any resonably priced bolt in seats or what year stock seats will bolt in or need only minor mods to work? any advice will help......Corbeau makes nice bolt in type but i dont want to spend $500 dollars on front seats for my boony crasher....R)

 

some intermediate lo bac seats will bolt in, but they will most likely be as thrashed as your originals. there are some lowbacks made new, that might fit, at best, you might have to adapt some brackets. people's opinion vary on these and their comfort, I suggest using the search feature. you can adapt just about anything or buy the cheapy rotomold plastic seast from like Summit or Jeg's. they look pretty cool and are not affected by rain and the elements and they are CHEAP.

 

I just went to Upull it in Spokane and bought some Seats for 17 bucks for the pair.
Leather power and grey color the kicker was they were allready pulled.

I did have a bit of triming and welding but it wasnt much.

Way worth it even if you had someone else do your welding.

Even at Spaldings ( major wrecking yard ) next door they have like new seats for 200.00 to 500.00 a pair.

 

I have a sent I bought for my 2a and when they arrived, I found that they wont fit...they're too wide. I think that they are for a CJ5. I'll take some pics and see if you're interested. They are in good shape.

 

funny trick....we were in spokane yesterday...and i got a back seat a hood and the corbeau 4points i wanted.....the hood was off an old postal jeep...bolted rite up..the back seat was out of a wrecked 1990 wrangler....put the hood on today and primered the hood and body...tomorrow im gonna try and ge back seat done and the harnesses

 

I just bought 2 Corbeau Baja SS seats for my jeep ...any advice on mounting them??? or are they pretty straight forward like they say they are??? anyone with xp in these is apreciated

several other jeep forums say these are great jeep offroad seats

 

I just went with these.http://www.jcwhitney.com/wcsstore/jcwhitney/images/imagecache/G_21370G_CL_1.jpg $139 with free shipping from good ole JCWhitney. They should be here today. If they don't fit well, they'll go in the CJ-7. I was looking at the Corbeau Baja but I've seen them installed in a 5 without the tub notched and they looked awful tight. Please let me know how well they fit for you. Good luck.

 

well i got the seats installed....Corbeau ss baha vinal....only mod made was dropping front part of stock bracket about 3/4 to1inch and tappintg and bolting them...fyi made it were my legs fit under the steering wheel....went "mudding" made it through holes puting the jeep at a 45degree angle sideways and had mud and water all the way inside to the gear shifters....this is with a 4' lift and 33/12.5 tires......no problems untill the old carb on the jeep had a float get stuck....ie stalled out and would not start lol

 

Still undecided on seats for my CJ5 any chance you could post a picture of your Jeep with the seats installed?

 

Will do....i have done alot and it looks way diff from my avatar now haha
