Product Description
The Rugged Ridge 13400.01 is a factory-style low-back, non-reclining front bucket seat engineered as a direct replacement for the original seats found in classic Jeep CJ models from 1955 through 1986 and the early Wrangler YJ through 1995. Built around a welded steel frame and wrapped in automotive-grade black vinyl, this seat is purpose-designed for owners undertaking older Jeep restoration projects who want a replacement that retains the period-correct look and feel of the original interior. Dense foam cushioning supported by heavy-duty raised springs provides firm, reliable support without the progressive sag common in aging OEM seats. The low-back, non-reclining profile accurately replicates the minimalist bucket seat design used throughout the CJ generation, making it the correct choice for factory-look restorations where a high-back or reclining seat would look out of place.
Installation is designed to use the original factory mounting hardware and bolt pattern, requiring no drilling or fabrication on 1976 and newer supported applications. The seat is interchangeable between the driver and passenger positions, so a single part number can fill either front seat location without any modification — a practical advantage when replacing both seats or sourcing parts for a full interior refresh. Owners of 1955–1975 CJ models should be aware that some modification to the vehicle may be required to accommodate this seat's mounting geometry on those earlier platforms, and fitment should be confirmed before ordering.
Backed by Rugged Ridge's limited five-year warranty and manufactured under the Omix-ADA family of Jeep-focused brands, the 13400.01 represents a cost-effective solution for CJ and YJ owners who need a dependable, correct-looking front seat without the premium cost of reclining or sport-harness-compatible designs. Whether the goal is a straight restoration, a trail-use daily driver, or simply replacing worn-out OEM seats with something durable and correct, this seat delivers factory appearance with the added assurance of a new-product warranty and consistent material quality.
