CJ5 Seating

wicked77cj · 03-13-2012, 07:36 AM

Does anyone have any recomendations on good nice set of seat for my 77 cj5. im doing a frame off restro and am not having much luck finding anything that will give decsent comfort, great looks, and a short sitting area( im 6'2" ) to maximize leg room. im looking for a tall back with 5 point harness. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

You might be SOL the only thing I can think of is get a tilt column and raise the seat. I am 6'1" and I never was able to be real comfortable in my old 5

Are you willing to do the wheel well mod behind the seat for more leg room? Or is this strictly a frame off OEM restoration? If your willing to do that you will open up your choices on seats by alot.

well my only problem with the wheel well mod is its a fiberglass tub and i have never done any fiberglass work. I wouldnt even know were to start or if its even realistic for me to do with this tub.

Thanks

i am def going to change out columns and possibly look into doing some shortening to which ever one i do choose to go with. In my CJ7 i have a 80's chevy column i shortened about an inch so i may look into doing something like that. thanks for the idea of seat hight i never thought about that
