Gladiator seat upgrade

[RustyC]

I get that the heart wants what the heart wants, but there are aftermarket seat companies that make waaaay better seats than what Mopar makes that you could source locally.

I’ve seen rave reviews of Scheel-man seats and my google-foo comes up with this link:
https://scheelmannaustralia.com.au/home/

or maybe some other manufacturer?

The foam sets are $81 each, so by far the most cost effective option
I’ve done aftermarket foam kits in other vehicles and wasn’t happy with the results.

There is a lengthy older thread Mojave parts including interior parts. This is worth a read. Benny@AllMoparParts specifically states that complete seat assemblies are not available in this post.

However there is plenty of information throughout the thread on individual part numbers for seat parts.

Thanks for this.
I did come across this thread, I just haven’t delved into it yet.

The covers can't be the same, it is not just a density difference in the foam, there is more volume to the bolstering as you know. Something isn't right... Hope the other thread gets you more clarity on the details.

I'd love to move to Australia, I will give you my Mojave if you have a good paying public health related job for me hahaha!

That’s what I thought as well.
However the vehicle fitment guide for the covers in the same product group, includes all trims?
It’s very confusing

I think we might need to have a Mojave and Rubi with the same material or leather covers on and take a few measurements of the back and bolstering dimensions. I'd take this venture slow to not waste money getting the wrong item shipped down your way.

My experience working with dealer parts depts for Jeep and my past ZR2 is that the Mopar and Chevy performance sites are not always accurate.

The free Mojave offer is on the table...!! I used to to IT service mgmt also if that opens up an opportunity lol

I agree, any help I can get before spending money would be great!

Hijacking your thread to ask if anyone who has installed Katzskins found a difference in comfort post install. I hate these (cloth) seats

Just took a couple quick measurements..

measured at the seam mid back rest of the seat. The width between bolstering was approx 285mm. Not enough hands to get a shot of that.

The shot below, sorry for inches = approx 130mm.

Anyway this is interesting and we can discuss what specific measurements you want and see what we get!

Amazing!
Thanks for this, I’m flying home tomorrow, so I’ll check the measurements!

Looks like a full inch difference at our point of measurement!

Seems like it!

Thanks guys!
Now I just need to identify the correct seat cover for the Mojave foam kit in saddle brown
I guess if anyone out there has that colour on a Mojave with the bucket seats, they could enter the VIN on the Mopar site, and get the correct part number?

Any chance you are able to find the part number for this cover, with the VIN?
It might be a good starting point in as far as the part number for my colour will be almost the same
What colour is this?
Thanks!

The Mojave’s can have either black or light grey leather, unfortunately not the brown leather that is available on the Rubicon
