2nd Row Seat Question

[seansolo]

Hey guys! I just bought a 99 EB edition/Limited edition. It has the bucket 2nd row seats. I think i actually prefer the 60/40 bench seat due to the functionality of it. Does anyone know if I find a bench seat, can i bolt it right back in place from where the bucket seats are currently or am I going to have to drill holes? I would think that the floorpan would have holes already? Any ideas would be great. Thanks all.

The bolt holes should already be there. The 60:40 will use the holes currently used by the 2 captains seats, and there should be 2 or 3 more in the center of the vehicle under the carpet.

awesome, thank you!

hey do you want to post a picture of it? ive never seen it with the 2nd row buckets.

 

[seansolo]

Hey Panda, yeah, i'm going to be goofing with it Saturday morning so i will take some pics and hopefully be able to figure out how to post pics.

 

[panda24619]

okay thanks. hey are the seats leather or cloth. cause i wouldnt mind some buckets in the back. so that way i can take less people around.

 

[seansolo]

They are tan leather. I'm thinking about putting the bench in to make it more functional. If you're interested, we'll talk when i'm able to buy a bench and maybe we can work something out. Later

i would have loved to have stock captains in the back.
was only $200 to conver to em tho, so not complaining.

my bench is sitting inside a mazda on the side of the house

Got any pics of the captain seats?

Hey Panda, sorry it took so long to get back to you, i've been out of town for a bit. I am actually very interested in a possible trade. Can you let me know the condition of your bench seat....rating on a scale of 1-10 on the condition of the leather, cracks etc and if the lift mechanism on the smaller seat gaining access to the rear? If you're interested i can do the same thing on the bucket seats. Thanks, Later

hey its all good. the seats are pretty much perfect. ill say an 8 cause they are dirty. everything works. all the seat fold back too. in case people didnt know you can fold the seats back. not all the way but you can recline them. ill give you some pictures of what i see as the biggest problems. just dirt mainly. ill clean them and let you know. o and the bigger seat has my amp on it. so it has been screwed into it, but you cant tell. i have pic of it somewhere on this forum. the flaps still fold down and everything too. and yeah if you can let me know the condition of your seat too that would be great. thanks

 

[panda24619]

sry i ment to take pics. but the cracks arnt bad. theres no fading though. the cracks are from people sitting down. you cant feel them. it only looks bad i guess u can say. ill take some pics tomorrow and show you what i mean. and they are still dirty.

Wow I would much rather have bucket seats in the 2nd row. Some other poster on here said it was only $200....where did you find them. I am still very interested in seeing these pics of the buckets...just for more encouragement to post them lol

 

[nvycrmn]

buckets would be great but i have 3 kids, doesnt work out very well! hahha

 

[seansolo]

Hey Panda, so I checked out the seats and I would say they are a 7-8 condition. They look great overall with minor wear, expected for the year. I will say... i bought the rig from the original owner who is a family friend, way meticulous and owns a body shop with detailers, so I know it was detailed often. The rig is a Limited Edition so it says "Limited" with stitching in the top middle of the seats. The passenger seat has more wear on the door side of the seat but not bad. The worst part is in the corner where the seat back and the seat come together there is piece of cloth that is meant to cover the opening where the metal bracket is. Those stitching that holds those pieces on is starting to pull away slightly, like the stitching failed. It doesn't look bad, but not great either.
If you're intereseted in a possible trade, let's get some pictures going and swap phone numbers and maybe we can coordinate this thing.
Thanks man and talk to you soon.

okay so no pics yet. sry. and have yet to clean too. sry. going to do that this week. but thats all good. ill probley just put a sheep skin cover on it like i have my front. but the seats arnt bad.no scratches just little cracks like i said b4. and stitches arnt a big deal. but yeah we can arrange everything once i get the pics up. i see your up in Fresno and im in SD. not to far but far enough to where we dont want to drive the full way. unless were going to be at each other city idk. maybe meet half way. o can you take pics of the bolt place ment and all that. ill take a pic of all mine too. thaks.

 

[seansolo]

Ok guys, here goes nothing....first attempt at loading a picture. Here is the pic of the 2nd row captains chairs. Panda, I took a lot more showing detail so we can compare soon. COOL, looks like it worked. Please feel to give me any advice if you're not able to see it or if there is a better way to do this process. Thanks!
