so I havent seen them yet but im getting some sidekick seats from a buddy to put in my samurai since my front seats a crap. from the pictures ive seen they are sitting on the seat lopsided. can I take the sidekick rails off and put my samurai ones on so it sits flat in the samurai without having to cut up the floor mounts? anyone do this swap yet?
-
I dont know, but I do know the stock sammy seats are the worst! I would love to change mine out!
-
thank you I discovered that these couldnt be put in without some good cutting so im just going to try and sell them locally.

When I was rebuilding the iZook site, I noticed that there were a lot of different junk yard seat swaps covered in the tech articles over the years. It may be worth it to pop over there and take a look. http://www.izook.com (http://www.izook.com) There are many articles covering different seats and the Sidekick Seat install is covered too! http://www2.izook.com/?page_id=279 (http://www2.izook.com/?page_id=279)

thanks eric I saw them and hopefully if I can sell these sidekick ones I will go get some dodge neon seats and swap the rails on them.

Depends on which ones you have, how much, and where you are.. I know of at least one person that would like a set of the JX or JLX 4-door seats. The grey cloth ones that came in 93-95 I think... Is that what you've got?

oh im hoping just to get what I paid which is $50 or I would trade for other things for my samurai.
-
hey Eric, I will have decent ones out of my Audikick soon too once I do the interior build. who needs 'em. some one from MVC? and is izook your site too or do you do freelance work for them?

I have those in my Sami. I had to remove alot of the plastic flaring on the bottom to lower the seats or my head was bumping the roll bars. I am 6' tall. I took the rails off completely and removed the mounting metal under the seats and mounted directly to the floor pushed all the way back.
Then I made some brackets for the front to tilt the seats back from front to rear. PERFECT

ya im 5' 7" so I dont have many of those height problems.

I just got some neon seats and really like the tracks. I think the drivers one will bolt right in but the passenger side wont.
can anyone post ways they have easilly mounted neon seats without swapping tracks?
-
Like I said, I just removed the tracks and bolted them straight to the floor as far back as they will go.
Why would you need to adjust them?
Nobody in the back seat, if you even have one, and who wants to sit closer to the dashboard? Especially when wheeling! If you keep the drivers adjustment, passengers could always enter the back seat on drivers side, or just jump in over the back seat!!!

I was thinkin bout goin with a spare set of 1984 fiery seats with the headrest speakers in them there very comfortable an the speakers r great .
-
those seats would be nice in my samurai since its so loud, might have to get me some.
-
Yea fiery seats are big with hotroders. Fires are my other thing I have one with a 454 big block in it an it was too loud to hear the radio so I changed the seats to a after market buck cause a local rudder wanted the speaker seats. It fell threw an I have the seats. I think I might do the swap. There fabric that's the only problem. These get soaked 4 wheeling an then they'd milder an all that. That's the only downfall.

with my seats my wife is going to reupholster them in green and black marine vinyl like my rear seat. I like the marine vinyl on my backseat due to the ability to just spray down the seat when it gets dirty. Find a home economics teacher near you and see if you can pay them alittle to redo your seats in this material and maybe they can use the reupholstery work as an example for their class.
