Chuck! I just saw a post on the forum about this and I’m glad to see you posted a video about the very same thing.

[@stu7161]

Center console build? YES!

[@rajseattle]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to show how to swap out cheap jeep seats! (say that really fast!)

[@warwagoninc]

Just did the conversion and it went in without a hitch. Thanks man. I Got these same seats out of a 1992 for $40.

[@Poweraddicts]

Thats a great deal!! Glad the swap went well!

[@StarkReality]

Pontiac Grand Prix Seats and the best swap for a YJ. Leather, nice bolsters and a simple install and you can even hook up the heat in them.

[@Poweraddicts]

Thanks for leaving a great idea for me and others!! Have a great day!

[@chriss.3476]

What year Grand Prix?

[@steveaustin4565]

Nice video instruction. Just thought I would throw in my experience here. My jeep came with the Ranger seats. Two problems I have with my 30 inch inseam. The tilt of the seat does make it harder to reach the pedals. Adjusting the seat forward causes the stock shifter to hit against the middle seat extension in 2nd, 4th and Reverse. That's the bigger problem. I'm thinking of altering the seat and take the middle section out and then bring the fabric down around the seat side and put a console in between the seats. It would give me a cup holder too, which I don't have with the flip down arm rest. I could also try putting spacers under the rear of the tracks to tilt the seat up more and create less of a seat angle. Other than that the seat fits within the confines of the YJ interior and all the seat brackets work like the stock seats do.

[@kingsoulsurfer41]

I like to know when you going to do the center console I'm interested in that because mine is broken

[@fredclements6843]

I hate those bolts an your so right about that handle

[@rongray8416]

Overall,.. pretty good swap on those seats (wont work for me thugh on 2 counts...1: I'm 6ft. 1in. tall lol so my head be poking through the roof haha and 2: I don't own a YJ lol and my TJ seats are still perfect. Other thing peeps might do is go with TJ seats since the tubs are pretty much the same once you pull back their skirts and see whats underneath,Your thoughts on a center console reminded me that manual TJ consoles would fit no problem an some even had a subwoofer built in ( been looking off and on for a while myself on possibly getting a new center console for my TJ and making the ammo can console for my 47 Willys) any ways good stuff as always :D

[@dallasvanwinkle2067]

I'm in the process of buy a 1983 cj7.of got a question for you it's a auto were the 4wheel drive switch at? There nothing in the floor

[@fredclements6843]

Hey buddy I put dodge neon seats in mine with a Ford Explorer console

[@mrmando-ew4gx]

I went to the junkyard on a 100 degree heat to pull 1997 ranger seats i came home don't have the bolts like the 96 ranger does😥

[@v.twins.and.barbells]

So needs to be 96 seats?

[@michaelkelley395]

I wonder if the newer ranger seats would fit. They are way thinner than the obs ranger.

[@Poweraddicts]

That's exactly what I wondering. I plan on a junkyard run soon to check it out. I really hope they are thinner in the seat area and have like a storage style center console. I'll be bringing one back if so, provided it's in good enough shape. Thanks for checking out the video! Have a great day!!

[@jnbpisces]

I picked up some newer ranger seats with center console storage, I haven't worked with them much yet but they have riveted tracks. According to a forum you have to cut through all of the rivets, I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to mount them...@@Poweraddicts

[@paulwatkins6723]

Thanks for taking the time to show us these projects. Saw a reply asking why you did this. I want to believe it’s because you’re a giver. Not too many givers (teachers) around anymore. Thanks again

[@michaelkelley395]

@@Poweraddicts yeah some models have the center console that you can flip up or down for a center seat. I would like to find a nice fitting permanent option for my wrangler

[@DesertJeff]

what year of ford ranger is these seats?

[@warwagoninc]

I just got some 1992s that are these same ones

[@hotdaddy7919]

What about seats from a d dodge dakota.

[@Poweraddicts]

I have no idea, ive never tried putting a set in or even measured the frame to check.

[@modernrogue5064]

What year ranger seats?

[@slightlynuts]

Those in the video are 89-92 Ranger.

[@mrmando-ew4gx]

You should probably note it can't be be over a 1996 ford ranger cuz1997 seat dont bolt on.. it doesn't fit

[@kevindeibler346]

What year seats are those or dose it not matter

[@Poweraddicts]

Those are 95 seats if I remember correctly. I think it was about 90 and older the YJ holes are a bit different. Also, I'm not sure what year but I've read the Ranger seat hole patterns changed a little as well.

[@kevindeibler346]

@@Poweraddicts ok well i was looking for seat ideas ind i really like this idea because as of right now my jp yj i pulled the back seat out and biuld a custom wire tool cage around the rollbar that locks when i lock the back gate and works with my hard and soft top and it would be nice to have the option to be able to ride another passenger im actually heading to the junkyard tomorrow to look for one

[@wranglernash5799]

Are you just bored? I don’t get why you did this?
