Has anyone tried Charger seats in a J10?

Post by j10builder »

I've been looking at seats and really like the Durango seats but don't need the video accessories. I know Dakota seats are a preference and easier swap but haven't found any in the right color and decent shape yet. I did run across a set of Charger seats and was wondering if anyone has put them in a J truck. Any other suggestions are welcomed.

It shouldn't be hard to make anything fit, if you have a welder. I had Fiero seats in mine several years ago, only had to extend the seat bracket an inch or two and it bolted up to the Wagoneer track. I like the seats in my '14 Fusion Titanium and have considered finding a junkyard set for the Wag.

I'm not worried so much about the mounting as the fitting properly. Fusion Titanium huh? I'll look at them

the Jeep Liberty has pretty decent seats. And their manual, so you don't have to deal with wiring. I got two for my '81 Cherokee.
$20 ea from a pull-it. (and there's plenty of Liberty's near me in the yards..)
Or if you want a 'formed' bench.. I pulled a 2nd row from a Chevy astro? van. MINT condition, and had the center fold down center along with side fold down arm rests. I put it in my '95 2500HD ex cab as main front seating. Again, dirt cheap!

I currently own 2 KJ Libertys, used to own another and rented a KK for a weekend road trip, once. If you don't spend a long period of time in them, they're OK seats. But, even my Limited edition with electric (5-way, iirc) seats got pretty uncomfortable after 3-4 hours on the road. I'd look for something newer, if looking for comfort. If you only spend an hour in the seat at a time, they'd be a good cheap upgrade for sure, though.
