Not surprised, raw material costs are up across the board, ESPECIALLY metals. Between escalation and limited material availability product manufacturers/fabricators are having a rough go at it the last 6 months.Not sure if my memory is correct, but it looks like they've raised their prices by 25%
Our local steel supply house the price on my skid plate steel went up 25% in 3 months!Not surprised, raw material costs are up across the board, ESPECIALLY metals. Between escalation and limited material availability product manufacturers/fabricators are having a rough go at it the last 6 months.
Makes sense and I don't blame you. Similarly, I don't brake hard at yellow lights, especially on 2-lanes roads with 65mph speed limits. I did it once and was rear-ended by a flatbed that didn't hit the brakes at 55 mph. Never again.As someone who has been in 2 head on collisions (Drunk driver hit me and a person texting) and been rear ended where a factory seat broke the mounts there is no way I would use wwshers or a sest raising product. im sure I am being overly cautious, but these are tested heavily to survive an accident and protect the drivers as is.
I was considering swapping to a grand Cherokee seat if they were plug and play, but they were not even close to fitting. I am considering the Mojave seats as they are am little different.
Do you mean something like this?I put on a cheap beaded seat cover. Huge improvement for me. The beads are a 1/4 inch maybe, it’s a big enough difference to notice. The stock seat is too low/hard. Added benefit of the beaded covers: no sweaty back, especially nice on the trail.
I just took a look at the Corbeau site and it looks like they have a couple of models that would fit, and they sell brackets for the JL. I’ll call them next week to see what they recommend. If that works out I guess that will use up my Stinger Heigh10 budget!I'm ambivalent on the OEM seats, I don't think they are bad, but not necessarily all that good. Has anyone on here actually done a full (front) seat replacement? It's something I've considered, maybe something from Corbeau.
Same bolts, same mounting point - there’s zero change to the pull-out strength.im sure I am being overly cautious, but these are tested heavily to survive an accident and protect the drivers as is.
I had the same comfort concerns. I added 1" spacers to the two front legs of the driver's seat - problem solved. My homemade solution looks much more OEM than Seat-Jackers and they're cheaper.Thanks for all the replies - I never thought that it was the angle of the seat so I may try the block to lift the front of the seat.
To be more clear, currently it feels like I am sitting on a rock after a few hours. The lumbar is fine and the back angle seems ok. It is just that both sides of my rear hurt terribly and constantly eventually. I think my butt bones (the sitz bones) are bottoming out on the seat pan.

Yes - I added a dead Pedal first thing. I’m 250ish, but have found that shifting my cushion forward to raise my thighs helps alleviate the problem.sorry if i missed it, but i didn't see much mention of individuals weight.
i'm pretty comfy in the stock seats in our Willys and haven't found any need to modify anything yet. i'm over 6'2" with proportinally long limbs, and ~225.
the biggest difference i found came from adding a dead pedal; something i felt like i needed immediately and found that i use it unconciously and don't even think about it most of the time. IMHO, J**p should have put one in there to start with.
to be clear, i'm not allergic to modifying things to fit (i've had to change the seats in BMWs, Mercedes and my KTM to suit my high Ape Index), just haven't found any need to change these yet.
