I've herd of guys with samurai's putting accura or rx7 seats in them so it got me thinking... Dose anyone have seat swap expirence? What did you put in? Extra hardware or fabrication?
Any input is appreciated!

search man, search. this has been covered repeatedly, both in the forums and the tech library. my curent seats are buckets from an 87-88 thunderbird turbo coupe, super comfey. other simple swaps are 80's escorts, 80's and 90's mustangs, other rangers and explorers, etc etc.

If you have access to a welder....the brackets I made fit the universal sliders that are common on aftermarket seats..

I have Lincoln Mark VII seats in two of my trucks. All I had to do was drill new holes in the Lincoln seat frame a little forward from the original mounting holes and they fit perfectly on the Ranger track 1993-1997.

The Lincoln seats are power everything so the recline feature for the backrest needs power to work but in a regular cab I just recline them a little past the cab so when I put them in they are as far back as can be. and they manually pull forward on their own without a lever anyway so you never need to adjust the seatback again.

In my extended cab I just jumped the recline motor with a cordless drill battery and got them in position for me, and I dont have to touch them again inless I want to recline past the driving position.

Lincoln Mark VII Bill Blass model pillow top seats are the best. Like riding on air. Best seats imo.

I put Dodge Neon seats in my Samurai (Suzuki) and they werent that difficult to do. I used the stock Zuk rails though. I answered in another thread about putting seats (60/40's) out of a 87 into my 84 that had a bench. I used the rails out of the 87 and had to drill 4 new holes.

I've got seats from a zx2 escort in mine. Pretty comfy I might add. I had to switch tracks with my stock ones but I accomplished that by fabbing an adapter plate out of 2 inch wide steel
