I need a new front seat and am not picky on the manufacturer (Bestop, Rugged Ridge, etc..) I having a hard time picturing how a CJ5 "reclines". Does anyone have any experience in the non-recline standard vs the recline?

almost impossible to have a reclining CJ5 seat, for reclining back purposes, but I guess it could be useful for reclining forward to access back area. I would just install(custom bottom mounts) and use CJ7, YJ or early TJ style. And when I do a custom build, I look for the most comfortable leather seats from any manufacture, I have a real nice set of black leather seats from a 06 Dodge Charger I plan on using for my 83 CJ7 project, even driver side will be power.

To put in reclining seats in a 5 you have to notch the rear fender wells... it's a pain but worth it...

 
I had a 5, and was going to do that, but elected to go to a 7 instead, 10 more inches....that's what she said:LOL: yes, I'm only 12yrs old
