I'll check it out, thanks. I like the direct bolt-in feature, but the side bolsters on the seatbase pictured are too tall for my needs.

This one looks like what I need. It has a Rugged Ridge part number. Anyone have experience with these?

WJ seats will not bolt to a pre-96 seat frame, you have to either adapt the bottom of a 1996 frame to work with the 1993 floor pan or adapt the top of your 1993 to fit the bottom of a 1996 seat.
personally I'd rather adapt the 1996- frame bottom once. that way all other seats from 1996 up, WJ's, etc will be a simple bolt-in.
Those rugged ridge seats don't come highly regarded. cheap materials, thin foam, and the seat bottom is rather short and unsupported. Too bad, because I was about ready to pull the trigger on them myself.
PRP has seats and frames that supposedly bolt right in, but they're $$ and I don't know how tall they sit once in the car.

Best value? Hiring your fellow American worker's_products could be part of that equation, 'eh?atriot: I do not have a replacement need now, and in the past I've simply repaired any seat I've had that requires it.
HOWEVER: If I was to get a pair of seats to meet your idea of fitment, I'd worry less about cost, and save up for it, lol. Comfort on long DD-hauls is my priority, that.., and all that 'lurching-about' on riding in uneven territory. I'd look into:http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43&products_id=1069
YES; the above "pair" of American Made KOR non-folding seats are approximately 1.62 times the cost of another "pair" so far listed, and I suspect made in china.., a chicom product affiliated with the nwo, etc.:huh:

I have a 2 door myself and picked up some WJ seats from a guy on craigslist about a month ago. I have been looking at how these are going to go in. From the looks of it I will have to use my current 2 door seat rails/mounts and remove from old seats. Remove the WJ mounts and fab up a bracket of sorts to clear the motors since they are electric. Once I work that out I will need to run wires for the new seats and then mod the seats for access to the rear. The reason I say mod is that I am thinking the electric recline on the seats will not be enough for access to the rear. I have also been thinking about YJ bases (I think its the YJ's that have these) that flip up for access to the rear and modding them up.

Lil joe : you can swap the electric recline hinge for the ones on your old seats

Pretty sure that depends on the year.
The early ones, like my 89, had the release lever up high on the side, by your shoulder. I don't think you can swap those out.
The later seats, like the ones I stole from a 2000, have the lever low and on the back. Those are the swappable ones.
I don't know when the changeover was, but Joe's 94 is probably pretty close...

I thought only the renix had the lever up high.
Either way, wrenchmonkeys info is correct. Sorry for not giving a more thourough description, but typing on my phone sucks.

That could be. Then his 94 would be fine...
Just knew it wasn't an option for me.

If you are feeling really industrious, you can swap them right in the JY

My 94 has the handle/lever up high. One of em just busted too so we have to use the passenger side to get into the rear.

the back panel comes right off if you push it up, probably pretty easy to fix

Yeah I already checked it. It has a busted cable. Another thing I have to fix is my doors are starting to sag and I need to weld the hinges.

So I guess it's not a renix/ho split...
Now that I can help with!

I have had ZJ front seats in my 95 and they bolted right up to my stock 95 seat bases. Then I put those seats in my 96 on the stock 96 bases after I wore the body out on my 95. Both though are after the change in floor pans.
