Quick Question...

I am looking to replace the seats in my 2008 Rubicon Unlimited.

Will 2013 Rubicon Unlimited Cloth Seats fit?
Can I take out the old seats and brackets, and bolt on the new seats?

What issues can I expect?

fit, airbag connection, etc...

I talked with a guy from a random non-jeep affiliated place and he thought the fronts would fit, but the rears would not...
he didn't seem like an expert though, so I'm looking for some other insight...


thanks!

anyone?


i really just wanna know:

will the brackets for the 2013 bolt into the 2008 jeep floor?
if not...
will the brackets for the 2008 bolt into the 2013 seats?

I read on another forum where a guy swapped 2013 seats into an '09 but mentioned the seat brackets from the 13's were different (6" shorter front to back)but was able to use the brackets from 09's on the 13 seats. But. Have no personal experience with this.

Just as an aside for anyone swapping seats, it is the perfect time to install aftermarket seat heaters if you live anywhere you might be able to take advantage of them. I have used Cobra WarmSeats I purchased off ebay years ago. They were economical and make such a huge difference. I've used them with both cloth seats and leather seats. I'm not pushing that brand in particular, just the idea that while seats are out of the jeep (or going in), any heater is a worthwhile addition.
