TJ seat foam

[Rut Row]

I'm waiting on some Bartact seat covers. I'd love to replace the foam and use those in lieu of putting the old seat covers back on. Has anyone done that?

 

[red02tj]

That’s how mine are. I’ve had Bartact for about 4yrs. They went right back over the new foam. Bartact can be installed without removing the seats.

Definitely gonna do this.

Replced broken piano wire springs under the foam while replacing the seat foams.

Has anyone tried out the seat bushings?

If you're referring to seat risers, yes.

I have not replaced mine. I know Summitt Racing sells replacements.

That's what he was asking, if anybody had yet tried the summit brand bushings linked at the beginning of this thread.

 

[emedlin]

Yes, I was asking about the bushings like in the pictures above. The 3D printed ones don't seem to last long.

I have gotten to use to Amazon's free shipping. Summit charges $11.99 to ship those bushings to me. Might just try and make some.

What is different about the seat tracks in the '97-'98 models? Says these repair kits are for '99-'06

Passenger seat base pics are a '00 model Sahara seat. Driver seat base pics are a '98 model Sahara seat.

The head of the Torx bolt looks different, otherwise looks mostly the same.

 

[SkylinesSuck]

The slot width and/or the bolt shoulder is a different size. I tried on my '98. I think I made it work with a Dremel but it wasn't easy and I remember thinking just finding stuff from the hardware store was the way to go. The 3D printed set I got and made work wore out super quick and I didn't go that route the second time.

Thanks. Since I have a set of 97, 98, and 00 seat bases around if I get time this weekend i'll do some measuring.

How much was the shipping?

$12 or so like @emedlin mentioned. I also bought the replacement seat foam and if had included with that purchase shipping would have been free but I didn't think of it in time and they said they couldn't add the bushings to the seat foam order when I called back same day.
