    I put seats from a 84 CJ-7 in my wag. I used the seat mounts from an 84 wag and they bolted right up.

      Bucket seats out of a '98 F350 Centurion- ones of those "Cowboy Cadillac" dually rigs. The drivers seat is a 6-way power seat and the passenger's seat is manual that folds down. Don't have them installed yet but all I have to do is bolt them in. Used the brackets from a Chero with buckets and all it took was a little fabbing. The seats are a plush velour and very, very comfortable.

        I would think that since they make a 2 door Explorer that they would
        Along time ago....I had an Exploder! It was a 2door and yes...the seats folded forward. My back never hurt then.....now I drive a Jeep.

          I plan on using Fiero seats, the ones with the speakers in the headrest, some new speakers, and you have yourself a sweet setup.

            If you want a factory style high back bucket look at a Volvo. They generally have a high back racing style seat with electrics also.

            Pep Boys has 3R Racing seats on sale right now. They range from $160 to $220 in fabric, vinyl and leather. All fitted for 5 point harnesses. I'm getting a set for the front of my GW, might eventually go with 2 buckets in back and dump my rear bench seat.

              I ordered a pair of Bestop sport seats from Quadratec. They're for wranglers. I'm waiting for them to arrive. I figure if I use the original sliders/brackets I should be able to bolt it in fairly easily. Maybe drill a few holes in the bottom of the seeats. I'll report back when they're in. I'll have a sweet set of originals for sale when I'm done too.

                I just got some Steel Horse CJ/YJ replacement high-back bucket seats with forward and backward movement for $138 a pop from Summit Racing. They are liquidating their Steel Horse aftermarket seats, so hit them up and score some of these seats...they are awesome! They mounted right up to my existing tracks.

                      I just took out the old excuse for an armrest and made sure the thing was centered and drilled holes, bolted to secure, and presto. 30 minutes max.

                        OK, got the Bestop sport seats in. An absolute direct bolt in! There's three threaded holes per corner so they fit more than on vehicle and like I said they bolted right up. Very comfortable. Only thing is they don't fold forward for access to the rear seat. They do have a nice big dial to recline the seat though and it only takes a few seconds to recline it forward all the way. Oh yeah they got big map pockets on the back too.

                            blackjack,
                            pics would be great. do the new seats give you some more height from the floor?

                              I'll take some pics this weekend, I gotta get my avatar up so I'll snap a couple of the inside.
                              Yeah I'm definitely feelin' a little higher up than the old ones. It's almost like driving a different vehicle but in a good way! Overall a great mod.
                              Oh and BTW I called Quadratec and told them that they might want to include FSJs in their ads since it was a literal bolt in deal, see they told me when I ordered the seats that they won't fit, I just said yeah, yeah. I'll make 'em fit. Well it was alot easier than I thought.
