1) I have an '03 w/ 60/40 Bench and want to change over to Bucket Seats.

Who has changed their Seats Lately and what Seats did you use ?

How about Brackets, which ones did you use ?


2) I was out on the WWW and found some "JDM Red Stitch Seats" for approx. $275/pr delivered, they look good but I have not heard of them before; the Seats are suppose to be Racaro knock-offs, anyone hear of them ?

Thanks a head of time,

90's Jeep Grand Cherokee buckets, i did like the other guy got some 2x1/4" flat stock, 2 pieces about 16" long. bolted the seats to the metal and bolted the bronco brackets to the bottom side of the metal. only issue i had was putting the bronco folding hinge onto the Jeep seat frame

unfortunately not:bawling: but they are still a BIG IMPROVEMENT over the stock seats
Yup has to be an improvement, I was just wondering if they were power how you went about wiring it up; but they aren't so no matter.

Do you have a pic of the Mountaineer Seats ?

Did the sliders fit without mods ?
