Overview
The Rugged Ridge Factory Style Replacement Seat with Recliner in Tan, part number 13402.04, is a front reclining seat for older Jeep Wrangler and CJ models. It is meant to replace a worn or damaged original seat with a tan denim look that follows the factory design, including an integrated headrest and horizontal stitching.
The seat suits the 1976–1986 Jeep CJ5 and CJ7, the 1981–1985 Jeep Scrambler, the 1987–1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) and the 1997–2002 Jeep Wrangler (TJ). The styling matches the original Jeep look.
Key features
- Factory style design with an integrated headrest
- Horizontal stitching that follows the original Jeep look
- Automotive grade vinyl upholstery in tan denim
- Adjustable recline for a comfortable, proper driving position
- Bolts into factory hole locations and uses the original mounting hardware
- Direct fit for the listed Jeep models
Adjusting the recline
A reclining seat adds comfort on long drives, but the recline mechanism works hard under load. Move the seat through its full range after installation and listen for any grinding or slipping. A recliner that feels loose may need its mounting hardware checked before the vehicle is used on rough ground.
Tan denim upholstery is more absorbent than vinyl, so spills and road dust can soak in if they are left for a while. Vacuum the surface regularly and treat stains promptly with a gentle fabric cleaner. Test the cleaner on a hidden area first to confirm the color holds.
Recliners work best when the seat is positioned to match the steering wheel and pedals. Adjust the recline only after the seat is fully fastened, and keep the belt routing clear of the recline arm.
- Test the recline through its full range after installation
- Spot-test fabric cleaner on a hidden area
