Jeep Seats Set up

Post by Northpark70 »

Looking at putting a set of jeep seets from a TJ in my bronco, front and rear. Any body have any advice on the front seats. I have not bought them yet so I wanted to hear any likes or dislikes before I purchase. It seems like the rear fold and tumble rear seats work great.

Let me know any suggestions.

Cortez did the rear seat from a TJ and worked great. He had to fab brackets. You can PM/EMail him as he is in Florida and rarely gets on our site. As for front seats, Corbeau is my goto brand for quality, price, selection, hip styling, colors, seat belts, harnesses, etc. The SS suspension series are comfy at at $180.00 each, there is not a better value anywhere. Battlement is a Dealer for Corbeau and can ship them to your door.

I also have a Jeep bench for the rear....love it and it fit perfectly.

Any seats other than MasterCraft or Corbeau are going to require some crazy fabbing to get installed. The corbeau mounts fit my Bronco with very little modification and sit quite low to the floor which is nice. I have the Corbeau RS in the front.

Thanks for the good info. I am going to get the rear TJ seat and keep saving for the fronts.

I have also seen using fox body mustang seats in the front. Does anybody run those seats? I had a bronco that had seats from a bronco II and I loved the seat, but I felt like I was ducking to see out the windsheild.

I used seats from a Mercury Mestique/Ford Contour. I had to chop up the seat bases, but the driver seat bolted right up to the Bronco stock base & I even kept the power lumbar & seat back controls. The passenger seat took a lot of work to fit, but I bolted it to a mod'd Bronco II seat bracket. They fit real nice, and I'm very happy. I bet there are lots of these in salvage yards.
