fold and tumble rear seats

is there a bolt in replacement for our "stock" rear seat that will "fold/tumble"? i dont want to lose the rear seat but need the space at times... i have looked at several sites and have not found one.

are there any from other jeeps that will work in the intermediates?

thanks in advance

 

doesnt have to be a bolt right in just want an idea what will work and what i will have to do to make it work

 

85 and 86 CJ came with them and YJs from 87 to 95 had them. You'll need seat, front brackets, side brackets, seatbelts, bolts, and to measure and drill a few holes. I have swapped one in a non fold jeep.

 

i was thinking that what i had in my YJ would work... thanks for the pics and info.

 

anyone know if the TJ and YJ rear seat is the same width... most of the seats i find are TJ seats but i am hearing conflicting info on the TJ's seat width

 

I've got a '95 YJ seat in the back of my '71 CJ-6 (Project Hatari!) and a stock '97 TJ. Both are sitting in my driveway since the guy who bought the CJ-6 still hasn't had it shipped. I'll measure both as soon as the rain lets up a bit here.

By the way, the YJ bolts right into the earlier Jeep using stock or Bestop brackets (I used the Bestop brackets that came with my YJ replacement rear bench). Or, if you're willing to spend money, the Bestop fold-and-tumble seat comes with all the hardware and mimics the stock YJ/CJ seat dimensions perfectly.

 

I measured the distance between the pins on the seatback that lock into the brackets on the fenderwells. The YJ comes in at 34-1/2 and the TJ is an even 35-inches.

You may be able to lop 1/4-inch off of the locking pins on a TJ seat and make it fit, but I didn't measure the width of the seat cushions. It's a little hard while trying to hold a dripping cosmoline canvas tarp with one hand and a tape measurer with the other.

Bottom line, the YJ will definitely fit. The TJ may be asking for problems.

 

thanks for the reply guys... i will stick with a YJ/CJ since it will work for sure... just seems for the time being that all of the good deals that are finding me are TJ seats.

i have about 8 hours left till we fly out of here (A-stan)
