## Overview

The u-Box Jeep Wrangler TJ Seat Adapter Bracket (1997-2006) is a heavy-duty, black powder-coated steel component designed to bolt directly onto factory seat mounts. It adds 4 inches of legroom, enhancing comfort for taller drivers, and fits both driver and passenger sides. Engineered for easy installation without drilling, it offers increased seat stability and durability tailored specifically for Jeep Wrangler TJ models.

## Description

Function. This burly steel construction includes tab sliders that enable you to adjust the seat's front and rear position.Long lasting and durable, this component is custom designed to fit your TJ models, meaning fitment is quick, easy, and requires no drilling or modification. Properties. Heavy-duty steel is used in the construction of driver side seat bracket to ensure a long life. Fitment is easy because of its bolt-on design. Resistance to breakage is increased by the use of welding wherever possible in the engineering of this item. Installation requires about 1 hour. The custom fit permits bolt-on mounting and increases the sturdiness, stability, and safety of the installation.

Review: Poor instructions, and not ready to install, but worth it! - Just like others have stated, a real pain to install with limited instructions to go by. I still have it 5 stars, excuse it made a huge difference in making leg room much more comfortable in my TJ. There are a couple of reviews others have left that get you in the ballpark after you drill the one hole. I feel as the others do, which is a piece of color coded or numbered tape on each piece and better instructions as well as all holes should be predrilled to the proper diameter to speed the process up.
Review: It almost just quite but didn't just barely fit. And that was the problem. - First the good stuff. This product fills a definite need. I am 6'5" and Jeeps were never built for guys like me. Chrysler should consider a second set of factory seat mounts further back like some European sports cars. (But that is another issue. Now that it is installed, the extra legroom is great. My right knee no longer bashes into the dash or knocks my USB adapter out of the power port. (You tall guys know what I'm talking about) Word of caution though. If even after installing the adapter you still need to push the seat all the way back, be aware your head will be right up against the roll bar. Mine is less than an inch away. In a rear-end collision this could be bad. But then again, you should never let anyone rear-end your Jeep. Now the bad stuff. I was planning to fabricate my own adapter. Looking for inspiration I stumbled upon this adapter and, for the price, decided to buy rather than build. Unfortunately like nearly all products these days it just isn't quite right. It almost fits. Close enough that with some modifications and a bit of persuasion you can make it work. This seems to be the way of modern aftermarket products. Maybe the car companies have a secret cabal to move things around a tiny bit every year so we will always go back to them for factory parts. But I doubt that. I'm more inclined to think that there isn't enough aftermarket parts testing. If the prototype fits, make a million of them. But I digress. Back to my review. The first problem I had is that there is no way to install the adapter on my 2005 TJ by following the instructions. In the real world, you must first mount the adapter in the Jeep and then mount the seat to the adapter. The instructions have it the other way around. This did not work for me. Once the adapter is on the seat you cannot access two of the four mounting holes at enough of an angle to get the bolts through the holes. And even if you could, good luck getting a socket on them to torque those suckers down. Therefore the only way to mount this adapter is to remember this little rhyme "First in the Jeep, then mount the seat". The second problem is that in my 2005 TJ the inboard rear bolt is larger than the others. Likely a safety thing since that is the corner the seatbelt anchors. But the hardware in the adapter kit is all the same size bolts. It would be simple enough to reuse your stock bolt 'except' the holes in the adapter are too small. You will need to drill out that hole, "waller it out" is probably the correct term. The final "problem" is there is an offset bend in one of the adapter rails to account for the asymmetrical seat mount hole spacing in the Jeep. This bend is critical and unfortunately, on mine, it just was not quite right. The result is once the adapter is mounted in the Jeep the rear seat mounting bolts don't quite line up with the holes in the seat. My solution was a Gorilla Bar and some steady lateral persuasion. Unfortunately, this slightly racks the seat slides, and they now bind a little. But I don't plan to move my seat much. I can live with it. In conclusion: Do I recommend this product? You might be surprised but Yes I do. For the price, it would be hard not to. But know what you are getting into. There will be a lot of cussing, some prying (I hope no crying), and in the end, your seat may not slide quite as smoothly as it did from the factory. Oh yeah, and watch your head on that roll bar. Don't say I didn't warn you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The set I purchased for the driver side came with 2 different shaped rails and will not fit. What am I missing?**
A: The straight bracket goes on the outside, and the angled bracket goes inside. If they aren't fitting try flipping them over. They worked great on my 2002 TJ.

**Q: What are the small brackets that come with it for?**
A: To hold the bottom bolt

**Q: Does this include all required parts for installation?**
A: Sure, it will include.

**Q: How do I install it**
A: I tried asking that same question because it doesnt come with instructions. Even contacted their customer service twice and never got a response so all I can say is good luck. Lol i ended up sending it back

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked on a 2004 with a little creative adjustment
*by J***C on April 13, 2022*

Holefully this review will help others with a simialr year. I have a 2004 tj Sahara, my configuration was a little different than the instructions. In my picture I circled a t50 torx bolt in red that was what I assume a factory upgrade over previous years for the seat belt as this bolt is right under the mount. It's also 7/16-20 which is a little heavier than the other 3 bolts that bolt to the floorboard. I installed the drivers side brackets as close to the instructions as I could but the torx bolt presented the following issues. A. Would not go in with the brackets mounted, B. Had to drill a hole for the larger torx bolt. C. Could not tighten the torx bolt after the brackets were installed. I found it much easier on the passenger side to bolt the brackets down first with the seat mounting bolts installed then put the seat over the bolts and tighten. I drilled the brackets for the torx bolt to 1/2 in for a little flexibility. I went back and redid the drivers side and found out I had the brackets A1 and A2 I. The wrong position. In the picture there is a blue arrow, one of the mounting plates is a little smaller than the other 3, in the instructions they are labeled B1 B2 B3 and B4, the shorter one goes where the blue arrow is. The main brackets are labeled A1 and A2, and A2 is offset, i drew a yellow line to give you an idea of the offset. A2 goes closest to the shifter on driver and passenger sides. Putting these in first also helps with the placement and hole alignment. The odd thing is the factory jack no longer fits under the passenger seat as it should. It is secure but crooked. I also used the factory bolts to hold the brackets down. Iay go back and get some grade 8 to replace the chrome plated ones that came with the kit. I would suggest doing this, would hate to have the seat shear off in an impact. These brackets work great for a guy that's 6' 4" and now with more legroom I can comfortably get in and out as well as drive without being cramped. The tilt/tumble passenger seat still works as it did, but i dont think anyone will sit in the rear seat with me in a comfortable position. A good product, well made but not quite as universal as you would think.
