59apache · Dec 10, 2012

I've mounted a Seat for a Jeep CJ / Wrangler in my M35.

This is the seat.
Mounting is simple, just 2 bar's 40x15mm 365mm long, 4 holes drilled, painted, ready.

That should add some comfort to the ride.

i did the same thing with tan cloth seats driver and passenger. there is enough room in the middle now for a full 3rd seat.

I plan to put in a jump seat that folds down to an arm rest.

sounds good!
I bought a Bestop Trailmax Benchseat with headrest for the passenger side...

Very Nice. I like this route alot. I was gonna try a seat out of a f250 but i like the idea of this.

thanks! i like the toolbox under the seat

it' a fold and tumble bench, access to the box is very good.

I wonder if we poked enough if they would make the seats in OD. I've used these in the past and they are a good value.

Edit; these are actually the ones I used. $139.95 with a free ride! http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Interior-Pa...im.aspx?t_c=9&t_s=418&t_pt=3921&t_pn=S/B44915#

there are nice woodland seat covers available.

Jakelc15 · Aug 14, 2013

Very nice. I've always wanted to put better seats in my trucks and thought about using the same seats as you. Now I know they fit and look great. Jeep seats are easy to find seat covers for. I like the waterproof neoprene because I'm too lazy to put the top back on when it rains! Good work 59apache.

thanks! i would stay away from neoprene...i didn't hear anything good about. Put a garbage bag over your seat, that's better. And cheaper

Looks great. Good work.

Great idea. Looks good.

Great job on all your innovations. The battery cut-off is really nice. Just what are those securements that the cables are inserted through called exactly? I can't find anything like it. They look like they do the perfect job of cable protection.

Thank you! It's called a cable gland. They are water tight IP68, availible in different thread diameters and lengths.
Through the floor its a M32 with 15mm thread length. Fits the original holes....
Through the wall its a M25 also with 15mm thread length.
Cable is 95mm² (between AWG 000 and 0000) welding cable H01N2-D, its a high flexible cable.

very impressed...

LowTech · Dec 2, 2013

I have to ask, what keeps the seat from tipping forward in a, . . . lets say a fast stop?

59apache · Dec 2, 2013

fast stop with a deuce ??

There is a latch on the bench. Only the lever is lengthened.
