Overview
The Rugged Ridge Off-Road Seat in black with grey insert, part number 13448.09, is a Jeep-specific reclining front seat. It fits the 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) and suits lifted and non-lifted Jeeps.
The seat uses ultra-dense foam over a steel construction for comfort and long life. Side bolsters are slightly expanded, and a ball pump adjustable lumbar support adds back support in a racing style seat. Each seat has 5-point harness cutouts for a multi-point racing harness belt.
The color is black with a grey insert. Brackets come with the seat, and it mounts in the front position.
Key features
- Reclining seat back for the front position
- Ultra-dense foam for long life and comfort
- Steel construction for a durable frame
- Side bolsters slightly expanded for lifted and non-lifted Jeeps
- Ball pump adjustable lumbar support
- 5-point harness cutouts for a multi-point racing harness belt
Lumbar setup and harness fit
A ball pump lumbar support lets the driver fine-tune back support after mounting. Adjust it with the seat in its final position, since moving the seat afterward can change how the support feels against the spine.
Ultra-dense foam over a steel frame suits a seat that sees regular use. Foam holds its shape better when kept out of direct sun and off-road mud. Clean spills promptly and let the foam dry before the seat is used again.
Multi-point racing harnesses need the right anchor points and clearance, and the cutouts alone do not make a setup safe. Plan the anchor points before the seat is bolted in, and make sure the belt path clears the seat edge and the shoulder area.
- Set lumbar support after the seat is fully mounted
- Keep foam dry and clean after mud or spills
- Plan harness anchors before bolting the seat in
