Installing aftermarket front bucket seats in a Jeep JL or JLU is not as simple as bolting them in. The factory seat mounts are designed for OEM seats with integrated electronics and specific mounting patterns that do not match most aftermarket options.
This leaves builders trying to adapt brackets, stack spacers, or fabricate mounts just to get seats installed correctly.
The Motobilt MB2152 front seat mount kit is designed to solve that problem.
This system allows you to install aftermarket bucket seats using a common 14 inch wide by 18 inch deep mounting pattern while still utilizing the factory mounting locations on the Jeep floor. The mounts were designed around PRP seats but will work with many aftermarket seats that share this pattern.
No two drivers are built the same, so adjustability is built into the system.
Each kit includes heavy duty spring-loaded seat sliders that provide 7 inches of forward and rearward travel. This allows you to properly position the seat for different drivers or driving styles.
The mounts also allow you to lower your seat up to 2 inches compared to the factory seat in its lowest position. This is especially useful for taller drivers or builds running cages where headroom becomes limited.
Included riser and recline adjustment plates raise the front of the seat approximately 2 inches and allow you to select from three fixed seating angles. This lets you fine tune seating position for comfort and control.
The lower brackets are designed to match the contours of the Jeep JL floor and bolt directly into the factory mounting locations using factory hardware. No drilling is required.
A built-in submarine belt mounting point is included for those running 5 point harnesses. This mounting point moves with the seat sliders, so the belt stays correctly positioned as the seat is adjusted.
All components are constructed from 3/16 inch high grade steel that is laser cut and CNC formed for consistent fit and strength.
This is the correct way to install aftermarket front bucket seats in a Jeep JL or JLU using factory mounting locations while adding adjustability and proper seat positioning.
