Getting closer
Now this next part I have actually done a few times putting explorers seats into rangers I often have to remove 1.5†from the height of the ranger sliders
Bolt Holes off center
Time to chop 1.5†out of all 4 feet
I use marks to keep things lined up once 1.5†of material is removed
New dropped feet and new bolt mount tabs being fabbed, tack welded and checked for alignment and fit
Chopping the other rail
The pieces that were cut out are used to re enforce each mount
Final test fit, mounting holes lined up to center seat and retain factory
Mounting locations
Test fit time!
Happy! Shhhhhh pretend you did not see the console and shifter yet
Seat removed again for final clearancing/ paint/ weld etx
Problem area
My brain came up with another solution. I flattened the round bar in the press at the correct location and re bent for clearance. Then I used two small sections of angle iron to zig zag for
Clearance
It worked!!
Now seat removed again for final paint, clean, lube, and wiring
Added 8 pin connectors for both seats. Wired new power feeds for seat power and seat heat direct from fuse box under hood. Also included are seat buckle switch wires
