New seats in an 80 Wagon?
« on: June 14, 2011, 05:15:58 PM »
What all does it take to swap Cherokee or Wrangler seats in an 80 Wagon? Or is there any other readily available alternatives that would work better?

There are a few members here who have swapped seats.  I remember one is from a Cherokee and another one used Suzuki seats of some kind.  Do a search and I am sure you'll come up with the posts.  txjeeptx I believe put some racing seats in his SX/4 too I believe. 

IIRC you need the track and mounts from the Eagle seat and mount it to the new seats.

After our fiasco with the Toyota Corolla I got for my wife I believe I am done with Japanese vehicles.

Dude you are preaching to a choir member that is close to becoming an AMC Minister if you know what I mean.

I've done it but mine are nonadjustable now. Meaning no forward backward movement. S corners get spacers front inner corner does not. From a 94 kee. Sits better imo. Also gave me the armrest and cupholder that way.
