Nope not different, the 95 and 96 sploder seats are same as 97-01, same power bases, same bolt holes, etc.

What is different is this is a base model ranger and its 60/40 bench appears to be different then the other Ranger seats I have dealt with in the past?. It uses cables to recline, much like the sport trac seat did! Was not expecting to have to cut 20 rivets......

I was not expecting this much work as I have done this several times in the past....but we shall persevere!!
Note to self when headed to junk yard to get seats bring a 12v battery and some wire leads so I can move the power seats around...whooops. We had to painstakingly remove the explorer buckets with a 1/4" drive and 10mm deep socket....took a while.
(I will be attempting to add the power air lumbar back into these babies)

Here they are after LOTS of cleaning. First vacuum, then soap and water, then purple power (diluted) and water, then water and more wet vacuum finally dry by wood stove

Not mounted yet

And the 4.0 throttle body, engine cover! Woooo hoo found one at the JY
