Reviews for Rugged Ridge Front Seat Adapter for 97-02 Jeep Wrangler TJ with Rugged Ridge Premium Front Seats
It's the only one you had
Needed for seat replacement. Easy install
Needed for new seats. Easy install
Works perfectly for Rugged Ridge low back seat. It comes with extra hardware for what I assume is a different seat setup, which the directions are unclear on. Took a few minutes to figure out that the extra hardware is unnecessary when installing the RR low back seat. It does sit very high, but I’m not vertically gifted so this does not matter to me.
Fits perfect in my 2000 TJ. Was not hard to bolt in, very easy and fits perfect!
This product worked great. The install was easy, very clear instructions. love the new seat. This would be a 5 star rating if I had only gotten the driver side seat and adapter. I purchased new front seats for my jeep (both) and the passenger seat adapter does not work. It cannot be installed in any way that maintains the tumble feature of the passenger seat. As I believe most people would be replacing both seats at the same time and would try to buy matching seats as I did, I cannot give this a 5 star rating.
These are a really poor design with sharp edges, be prepared to tear your hands up installing them. The drivers side one mounts the seat too far back so the adaptor bracket sticks out over an inch in front of the seat and looks awful see picture. I ended up redrilling and tapping my seats so I could mount the seat farther forward on the bracket.
The passenger side seat release handle hits and binds with the handle on the front of the seat, see picture, I had to grind it down for clearance. I hope quadratec designs their own adaptor bracket in the future that works better than these
With this adapter there is no way to install and maintain the full function of the passenger seat. The lever it comes with to release the tumble feature of the seat will not work. The "wire" and "plate" for attaching the lever so it can release the tumble lever is very poorly designed and if installed as the directions instruct the U-bracket will not fit at all which is supposed to guide the new lever. I will have to try to come up with a fix of my own or do as others have and just not install the tumble lever at all which leaves the back seat passengers with no way to get the seat out of the way themselves. The only way to release the seat will be to reach under from the front and release the lever. Overall just very disappointed in the design and lack of help from costumer service.
