Lets see those Junkyard seats

It time for the old broken down YJ original seats to go. Lets see what you got. Dont bother with the expensive racing seats because they are not in the budget and not my style. Just looking for replacements that you have adapted on the cheap that you have been happy with.

I've got these in Spice. I donno what price range you were looking at, but as far as seats go they are fairly cheap and extremely comfy. Nice bolstering (although you cannot tell by lookin at them). I love em! could probably find them for >$100

I bought one of these when my driver side busted. It's pretty comfortable, but the back is shorter than stock. Got it off eBay for about $100 shipped.

I would assume however that you're probably looking for pics of mustang, cavalier, etc... seats.

WOW.... I am looking to stay at $200 or below. Just like to see a variety of things Jeepers have done. It really isnt about the money. I just beat the piss out of my poor Jeep and it would be stupid for me to spend more than a couple of hundred bucks.

Here are some pictures of my seats, out of a 1991 Toyota Celica GT. They are not a direct bolt in but with a little bit of engineering, I got them to work and they look good and feel great.. check out the pictures.

I need seats that don't raise the height of existing seats.

Unfort, I'm unable to adjust my steering wheel. (95 el cheapo model).
