- How to transfer or swap a passenger seat over to the driver seat. Not as easy as it sounds be overall was not to bad. Took about 1.5-2 hours. $28 at the junk yard for an almost pristine passenger seat.

I am currently restoring an old railroad station that was originally built as the Daytona Beach East Coast station sometime in the late 1800's. It was torn down sometime in the 1960's and 50 feet worth of the lumber was used to build a cabin in the woods on a lake in Florida.

I was looking to see if I could change over the seats on my 04 Renegade, side to side. If it’s like your Jeep, they’re offset, bummer! Thanks, Dave
This is awesome. Keep em coming brother
Thank you. I try and have a video posted every monday morning.
Heck yeah , nice fix , good enough for a jeep and good enough to fart on ..😂😂
thank you
The most comfortable factory seats of all the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 's are in the 1994 + 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
The seats look kind of roll + pleated...the seat bottom has extra support + the seat back has left + right side support..
I have owed a dozen jeeps from 1988 to 2018 models ....
Luckily in europe we can buy seats from UK cars, that means the drivers seat will be actually the passenger seat from a RHD car.
Just put some wj buckets in the xj today, but the driver is a bit warn I think in the future I will use your method to get that support back, thanks for the vid.
Good luck! I love Xj's
Thanks... I had away thought about doing what you took the time to do.
Now that I have been driving the WJ a bit I don't particularly care for the comfort of the factory seats. So I will probably be replacing them with something else in the future. But for now it was a good option.
In our shop we use dacron...you have to buy a roll tho...but it brings the foam back to normal...great proyect tho.
Thanks for the tip.
Hey, that's my trick! Lol
Thank you :)
My drivers seat frame is broken so I'm trying to figure out if I can swap seat belts buckles and recliner handles - where's the time...
Might be time to hit the junk yard. Lots of them their to choose from. Good luck.
tiny bit of welding ,an swap bracket
Yup that would work too.
Don't forget. Beijing Jeep bought the old tooling for the WJ Grand Cherokee when the WK was introduced for the U.S. as a 2005 model. The WJ was introduced in the end of 2004 for the Chinese market as the Jeep 4000 and 4700 Grand Cherokee. So those replacement seat covers on aliexpress are a factory fit. Literally. I don't like buying from China but, . . . . ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wow who knew?
Is the cushion shape the same for both driver and passenger?
Yes pretty much. The cover has the little carpet section that is supposed to be on the other side but really not noticeable.
No it’s not. I tried this already and when sitting in the seat your body is leaning towards the passenger side which makes it uncomfortable, I had to find a better driver cushion to make it feel right.
Jimmy. How's much time do you think you had?
Also what size hog rings did you use?
I don't know, maybe around 1/2? I bought a cheap kit off ebay years ago I had laying around.
probably 4 hours
This video wont play.
Not having any issues with any other youtibe vids. Just this one.
Tried atleast 6xs today.
Is working fine here. Refresh your browser?
@@SpiralDesignWorks took my phone 4days of trying and resetting over and over. Def an issue on my end.
Where can I get one of those power probes?
try this link -amzn.to/3dEYJZj
How did you find a wj bvb for 500? What did it need?
People give them away when they drive like shit from lack of maintenance. Suspension was shot and needed radiator. That was about it. Rust free Florida truck.
Excuse me. what kind of electric motors are they?
Electric motors? The seats are factory WJ power seats.
Great project so far. I have a 2002 WJ I'm also building for "overlanding". Also, tell us more about the Jeepster Commando at 20:10. Thanks!
We are doing a Cummins 4bt swap from the old tired V6. Yes it had a factory V6. I am going to try a edit up a video on it as well.
@@SpiralDesignWorks The old buick odd fire V6.
For broke people!!! A drill battery and a wire works great as a power probe🤔
Good idea
