Got a 1996 coily and the floor pan is a different design, there for it’s not a simple bolt in.
Has anyone fabricated some brackets to make a bucket seat fit in a coily if so can you share some photos
Cheers

I've used GTI seats and cut n shut coily rails in the past, I don't have pics but took me about 5 hours for both sides, no welding required.

Literally went through this today. Not a cooly, but has to customer fit and mount two buckets in the sj50. Took most of the day, has to customer fab a mount for the drivers side because of the existing seat mounts.

Pretty easy, I've seen people bolt straight through the floor pan, just using some pretty decent reinforcement underneath.

SJ40/50/70 is easy outterlimits. Sj80 is very different and harder. (Like everything on an SJ80)

I needed a couple L brackets that I bolted in. Welder would have been better
