Just to be clear. You said it I didn’t…


“Welp. Put on 35s. Lost acceleration. Shifting is....not what it was.... somethings off with the gears perhaps? All I know is Im not liking the engine anymore. Most of the time when I floor it and get nada, zippo. It literally feels just like the normal v6.”

Looking...looking...looking
Nope I did not ever say CRAP.
No worries... my tazer and pedal comm are arriving any day now!

Who meeeee. ?

Attention seekers in general who dont offer any helpful advice and then there's the rude aholes that seem to be lurking on the forum lately.

But you're ? in my book newjl2019.

Unless you were being passive aggressive and was hinting that I actually was boring like the literal definition (dont care about social classes) bc I am DEFINITELY not a boring girl! ?

Party on dude!

im 6"2 220 and i definitely agree the seats are quite firm, and honestly to damn narrow as the right side of the driver side pushes into my hip. I just haven't taken the time to figure out how to address it.

FINALLY! These seats are child size!

 

[Jjirish]

That might be an option. It’s possible they’ll bolt right up to the JL brackets. An upholstery shop might be able to put in softer foam.

Which poses the question...
Do JK seats fit in the JL? Bracket wise....

 

[Jjirish]

If only they came in 4x4

Omg can i drive over that??? It would be so much-needed fun!

I'm with you on the seat thing.. there's nothing like jumping in and having a perfect fit!
A few years ago I drove a friends Jeep and he Corbeau seats. Really liked them, but... (hah).. his was an older Jeep and I think with the JL there are issues with airbags..
check out below from an old thread..

I talked to PRP Seats before about this (used to their seats in a JK). They basically told me that its a lot harder to install aftermarket seats into the JL's.

In the JK's all you had to do was keep the wiring harness underneath your stock seat. All you had to do was reconnect the seat belt plug, and then use a resister to "trick" the passenger air bag sensor to think that someone is always sitting in the seat.

With the JL's, the Side impact airbag is now located in the shoulder of both front seats. So if you remove the stock seat, you lose that airbag... and your dash will light up like a Christmas tree. Also the wiring harness underneath the seat is now molded into the foam of the seat. So to remove it and fake the sensor and seat belt connector.. you would have to take a knife and dig it out. Because of that (and the liability issues with removing an airbag), PRP said they weren't going to make an adapter mount for their seats for the JL's.

If you really wanted them I'm sure you could still do them. I've seen a set of Enduro Elites in the Rebel Off-Road JL.
But you'll have to figure out some of those issues and mounting.

Why not take the seats to a custom upholstery shop, tell them what you want, and have them create some comfy padded cushioned pads with leather, to the existing frame?? Or, whatever material you want.
Then again, you could always go to Tijuana, and have a good "Tuck and Roll" done to the seats. You could eat some good food, and watch a few shows. Nevermind, stay away from the shows.

No such issue from me. Now would I say you are boring? Not at all. ?

Just trying to brighten ones day. I offered advice ? Recliner/Pillows.

I couldn't offer any advice about really changing seats out. I kind of like mine. My frame fits fine.

I do like my morning coffee with the forum!!!

Hope your Sunday is nice Jjirish. Good luck with your search.

WOW, I am 6' 185 and I would not call the Rubicon seats child size. I guess my seat adjustments suit my frame. ?

Put these Bestop seats in my 82’ Great seats

I know that I will eventually pay good money to replace the seats entirely but it will probably one of the last things that I do to the vehicle. If I could get something exactly like the GC L quilted Napa leather from Jeep directly I would do it in a heartbeat.

Im sooooo going to regret this but....
What's a tuck and roll?
And no donkey shows for me. I saw godfather.

Theres always one in the group who has to be all literal.... Bougie is also a surgical instrument used to explore body passages...care to test out that bougie definition? No? Maybe we should both just acknowledge that I was obviously meaning todays definition of "bougie" used by younger people.... ?

Never use the slang of young people, you just look like the moron they are.

Maybe you are trying to add cushions to the wrong part. Just go to McDonalds and order two Big Macs.

Funny you mention this. I lost a bunch of weight and the seat is not nearly as comfortable as it used to be.
