Gladiator seat upgrade

[RustyC]

So, Im from Australia, and have a Rubicon gladiator.
I’ve just visited the US and sat in the Mojave version, which we don’t get at home, and I want those seats!
Does anyone know the part numbers for the foams and covers in Tan leather, or have experience with doing this?
Are there issues with the heating elements etc?
TIA for any help here!

No idea about the part numbers. but the seat heaters are pretty pain free. I can't think of a time where I've had a problem. They get plenty hot. My constantly cold navigator turns her's down to medium.

Check out Katzkin covers if they will ship to you. Whatever shop installs it may be able to add more foam too.

I didn't realize they were different!
That's kinda cool.
I could use some more bolstering as well.
Not sure how interchangeable stuff is but @AllMoparParts.com might be able to help us track down parts and costs.
I've been considering going PRP Enduro as they have some daily-ish options that still allow for adjustability.
Not sure on prices for stock components but at $900ish a seat for the PRP offerings and brackets, it's probably about the same cost as CatSkinz or custom covers plus labor unless you planed on doing all that yourself.

Yep, the back rests are more of a bucket, and I think the part numbers are:
68368296AA
68368297AA
However the “covers” seem to be the same for both models, while the foam kits are definitely different.

Interesting.
If it's the same cover I gotta think it's only a foam density difference since there really isn't room for more padding from what I can tell.
Also, those part numbers are the same for the Rubicon and Mojave at least according to @AllMoparParts.com 's website.
Hopefully we can get some confirmation one way or another!

Not for the gladiator rubicon, only 392 wrangler rubicon

I’m thinking the Mojave seats just the wings on more of an angle, hence the universal cover part number
But they are definitely much more of a bucket seat than the rubicon

Interesting. I can't find parts for non-Mojave JT so I wonder if that's just how it's labeled.
Not doubting your observation, but I wonder if that's just how they come now vs a previous part.

This is the rubicon trim part number for the Jt
68302288AD

I’m thinking I just order the foams, and if the covers don’t fit, I’ll get them upholstered to match existing

Oh nice. Good call. Didn't come up in my search for some reason.
Sounds like you've found what you need.. gonna give it a go?

 

[RustyC]

I’d love some kind of confirmation, but yeah, think I will.
Shipping through Mopar is insane, but we have friends coming over at Christmas so I’ll see if they can bring them over for me.
It really was a huge improvement when I was able to actually sit in one!

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?

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.
