bucket seat pix
hey, I have seen some people talking about putting bucket seats in instead of a bench seat. I was wondering if anyone out there has done this. If you, could you maybe throw up a couple of pix of your interior? I can't decide if I think I would like that look or not.
thanks

one bit of advice about building custom seat brackets: don't do it yourself unless you are a very good fabricator and welder. gorilla welds on a seat can break in a wreck and injure or kill someone. never weld anything that could be a life or death if it breaks unless you are truly skilled. bucket seats from a bronco or extended cab would bolt right in. i've thought about going that rout and putting in a center console in my reg cab, but think a 40/20/40 with fold down armrest would be better so i could ride with 3 people when needed.

Could not figure out how to post the pics.
Trying to show two pics from my gallery. I took out a badly worn saggy bench and put in buckets from a 93 extended cab, and a console.

uhh....
seats don't hold anything in the event of a wreck. The seat belts bolt to the floor, so the seat only has to support itself in a wreck.

Used 1/4" aluminum plate for adaptors 4" wide X 16" long - 2 per seat. Bolted seats to plate then bolted plate thru floorboard with more plate under floorboard. Gr 8 bolts & fender washers.
Did it all with an angle grinder & drill (absolutely no welding).
Almost forgot to score the seat belt buckles with the seats. Ford buckles will not work on Jeep Seats.
