Installing aftermarket rear bucket seats in a Jeep JKU or JLU is not straightforward. The factory rear seat mounting system was designed for a bench seat, and it does not match the bolt patterns used by most aftermarket bucket seats.
This leaves builders trying to adapt mounts, drill new holes, or fabricate brackets just to get seats installed.
The Motobilt rear seat mount kit is designed to solve that problem.
This system allows you to remove the factory rear seat and install aftermarket bucket seats using a common 14 inch wide by 18 inch deep mounting pattern. It was designed around PRP rear bucket seats, making it a straightforward solution for that style of seat.
It will also work with bench seats that use a 40 inch by 15 inch mounting pattern. Factory rear seats are not compatible with this system.
The mounts bolt directly into the factory seat mounting locations with no drilling required. This keeps the installation clean and allows you to retain the factory mounting points while adapting to aftermarket seating.
The front supports use a heavy duty C-channel design and include an integrated MOLLE panel. This gives you a usable mounting surface for gear inside the Jeep where it is easy to access. Items like first aid kits, storage pouches, flashlights, and other equipment can be secured without taking up additional space.
The rear of the mounts is intentionally left open, creating usable storage space underneath the seats. This area can be accessed through the rear doors and is ideal for tools, recovery gear, and spare parts.
Built-in mounting points for lap belts and submarine belts are included, making it easier to integrate 5 point harness systems into your build.
All components are constructed from 3/16 inch steel that is laser cut and CNC formed for consistent fit and strength.
This is the correct way to install aftermarket rear bucket seats in a Jeep JKU or JLU using factory mounting locations without drilling.
