I can verify that this seat is good-to-go for our rigs.

Just bolted one up in about 2hrs on Saturday.

comes with front hinge-mounts and hardware, but you'll need to source the big 1/2" hardware for mounting to the tub. (5 bolts and nuts total)

I also found some scrap 1/4" plates that I used as backing plates that I'll eventually secure into place with tack-welds.

Seat is about 34.5in wide - so more than enough room for a CJ2a tub. All three of my skinny-Minnie daughters fit in the back, but definitely more suitable for 2 people. Even my 6', 265lb frame fits and feels comfortable on this seat, as long as I can stretch my legs out through the seat opening between the front seats.

Like I said - good-to-go. Has a nice powder-coated tube steel frame, and seemingly very durable fabric, and plush foam, though I might add a padded seat-cover just to extend the life of the seat.

The way that I mounted the seat, I was able to leave about 2" between the seatback and the tailgate, which allows for about a 6" space at the seatbottom - accommodates my small on-board toolbox, and also would allow you to stuff a few jackets, etc.

Very pleased for $160.00 hard-earned bucks.

Good reminder on available replacement seats!  It seems they have a few options based on cover/color choices:

I found the best price on Amazon.com. From order to doorstep in about 2 days. $165.00 + free shipping.
