Seat Options

[Roy]

Looking at interior configuration currently. It appears that a pair of buckets is the quickest and easiest route, but I have 2 nephews (5 and 7 years) so I need a bench set for 3. Any suggestions or examples out there?

Tim the tool man put a deuce bench in. I have some ready for the scrap bin. Let me know if you want them.

Thanks for the info Gimpy. Also, thanks for the seat offer. I will take it into consideration. I really like the utility aspect of the folding paasnger seat, but the comfort and safety levels of the stock-type seats are lower than I am looking for. I will keep this as a possible solution though...
I am probably going to go to a salvage yard and look for some kind of 40-20-40 power bench seat, hopefully in leather.

Lots of people have installed Wag/J-truck seats. Just have to find a decent specimin, or be willing to have one recovered.

A lot of the 2003 or so chevys have integrated shoulder belts. Nicer than the Dodge integrated from the late 90's. Something to consider with the younguns ridin' shotgun.

I know as a fact that wagoneer seats/brackets are almost a direct bolt-up to our trucks. I used a set of brackets from a 79 cherokee, only had to drill 2 holes on the passenger and 1 on the driver. I also know they never changed the mounting locations on the FSJ's so if it was in an FSJ, should work in a 715 fairly easily. They have buckets in a number of years, but they have a center arm-rest/seat that spans the space between the 2 buckets.

Here is my $20.00 seat. Out of a 90's something Chevy EX cab pickup.

Not a front bench seat but lots of seating options but there is quite a bit of $$$ in this setup from a JP Mag Project Truck:

I'm currently installing a a pair of these Baja seats in the cab of my Jeep while still keeping the battery box. Its a tight fit but its gona be a lot nicer than the crappy stock seats and I'll be able to install a safer retraint system. I'll try and get some pictures posted in the near future.

Purchased a spare passangers seat and cut the frame down to make a jumpseat/armrest between the stock seats.
