Its time to replace the seats in my '88 with something better.
I've searched. From what i can tell, the mastercraft seats have an optional bracket for $59 that mounts the seats to the factory brackets/sliders. I dont think this will work on my '88 cause it has the 6-way seat mounts. Is there another year XJ mount that will bolt into my '88 and work with their seats?.
The PRP seats come w/o sliders or brackets for the XJ and would require custom mounts and sliders to work. They are about $100 cheaper (each) than the mastercraft rubicon seats and seem the same quality.
I dont want to use my stock mounts because they're loose and let the seat rattle about. its very anoying.
So, i guess i either can find some used XJ mounts of the other type (if they will bolt in to my '88) that will work with the mastercraft seats...and $800 later ill have a pair of new seats.
or, i could use some generic sliders and fab some brackets to fit the PRP seats into the XJ for $500 + sliders/metal/labor.
or, i could get used XJ brackets/sliders and fab some adapters to the PRP seats.
any thoughts?
Thanks
