Hell, just take the seats out of your dad's Rubicon.  Personally, I'd probably try to get late model TJ seats since they are pretty nice.  Old Camaro seats were popular but that was back a few years.  Anything from the 80's or even the early 90's is gonna smell and probably be in sad shape.  The other problem is that most seats these day's are designed for large people.  Nothing against them but when you want to drive aggressively a park bench isn't the best seat.  The other problem is if you have a center console.  Most seats are too wide to use with a large console.  So keep that in mind.  If you're not that picky, then you can go with Cavalier/Sunfire seats or probably Cobalt.  Some people have used Mustang seats but they're on the wide side.

If I was looking for OE seats, I'd probably look for an Evo with Recaro's to snag.  Maybe STi seats but those are a bit wider and flatter even though they're Recaro's as well but they're not going to be cheap either.  Hell, jsut buy from Mastercrafts and put it on dad's CC.

where did you here that? they have different part #s... they even have different part numbers between the one for the d35 in my 1990 and for the d35 in the 97 gc this one was gong to go into. i just want to make sure it would actually work before taking stuff apart.

Best $200 you've spent on your jeep:

there are a few things that i can probably list that were up to $200 but the last one that fits this profile would be the 2 core radiator with aluminum tanks + related: rad $139, lincoln e-fan $30, stainless overflow tank $35 (ok, $5 over the budget but close enough).

my understanding is if you put locker in front w/o eliminating disco you will pull to the left in 2wd. My reason was since i am opening it up might as well do it cause its stronger.

ya it is the while you are at it type thing... shouldn't realy pull to the side as it wont be powered but it will have the resistance of turning the diff and drive shaft which i wouldn't think would pull you around very much but i could be wrong.....
