Bucket seats to replace the rear seats

JK_b/c_yolo said:

I didn't spend a lot of time searching but I was wondering if anybody has installed front seats in the back to replace the rear seat. I'm thinking about doing this to give the kids a little more comfort and separate them a bit. I believe you can modify the Mastercraft rear seat bracket to make this work. I'm looking for pros and cons of doing this mod.

Do you want to put factory front buckets in the back? I'm a little confused.

You'll lose tons of storage space because you can't fold the seats down.

If his kids are always with him, it will not matter much. But yeah, that is a big down fall of the brackets. No access to the back

Maybe see if you can get seats out of a 2 dr, the passenger would have the fold down for getting in the back. Just a thought, unless you already have the seats from someone...

I believe you put the driver seat on the passenger side on the passenger on the driver to put the handles towards the center so they are usable. I'm not worried about needing to fold them down.
I was thinking about going this route vs going with the Mastercraft reclining ones. I'm thinking about just buying some Katskinz that will match my front leather seats.

Does anybody know what a almost brand new set of leather seats go for used if I want to sell mine and go all mastercraft? Front heated leather and rear leather. 1000k miles on them.

If I were you, I would install mastercrafts in the front and install the factory's in the back. But yes, flip sides on the seats.
