I have a 87 yj and I need new seats. Does anyone know other vehicle seats that would work? I am a big o boy and the stock seats do not last.

Thanks

I called the local junk dealer and he gave me a hassel about the ranger seats. They wont fit bla bla bla. Come in some day and he'll mesure 2c if they'll fit. Im sure Id have 2 make an adapter that bolts on2 the seat and the slider. Just 2 alum bars with holes drilled in the right places. but he pi s s e d me off so I may buy the best top cheapos for $119 ea at ACME jeeps. Just dont tell my wife. I really want the heated 1's to assist the heater (wisconsin winters can be a bit chilly!) but for $350 ea I may have to sleep on them too :)

I had the same thing happen when I changed my seats in my '90 YJ, the guy at the junk yard laughed at me and said that the seats I wanted out of a '98 TJ wouldn't work (Don't tell this woman it can't be done, cause I'm liable to prove you wrong 95% of the time). I got them home, took 3/8" steel and fabricated my own mounting "brackets" for it. got them in last night. Most comfortable seats, and definalty more padding, plus they recline. They raised me up in the seat another 2 inches. Now I just need to modify the risers or find a set that is 2 inches lower than mine.
