Bucket Seats

We have a 96 Ranger, the Splash model... the driver's side seat frame has broken. We're trying to find a replacement but not having much luck. Anyone have a suggestion where to find high back bucket seat replacements?

Thanks!

Welcome to FTE!

Well, if you can track down some Explorer seats (prior to '02), they offer the best options, including 6-way-power, lumbar support, and leather, depending on the model.

The Explorer seats are essentially a "bolt-in" with a little tweaking:

Have tried a junkyard?

Thanks for the tip... we have tried several junk yards but no one seems to have a Splash version of the Ranger and they keep trying to sell us a 60/40 split seat.

I put '99 Explorer Buckets in my '95. Had to use my original seat tracks. It was a bolt in deal. I got the top of the line Limited Explorer seats, they are even heated and super comfortable.

I got some out of an 01 explorer also, they were a bolt in except for the seat belt rod on the side. Needed to extend it to fit the ranger to front mount holes by about 2 inches. It was the rail the floor side seat belt is hooked to. Maybe 30-45 minutes total time to remove and install.

They were about $65 each at a salvage yard. elec driver side, manual passenger.
