Jeep - Fixed & Shorties - Front Seat Jackers (2018+ Wrangler JL/JLU, 2018+ Gladiator) — Install Guide

Important Notes

• To help prevent cross-threading during installation, verify all bolts and threaded holes before starting. Thread each applicable bolt into its corresponding hole by hand. Do not force any bolt.
• If installing the Premium or Utility Multi-Mount Panel, it attaches to the front of the transmission-tunnel block and the back of the door-side block.

Step One — Remove Factory Bolts

Remove both front factory seat base bolts and loosen the rear seat bolts.

Use a T50 Torx or E12 E-Torx, depending on your vehicle.

Step Two — Install the Transmission-Tunnel Seat Jacker

Gently lift the front of the seat and slide the smaller Seat Jacker under the seat rail nearest the transmission tunnel.

The smaller threaded hole on one end should face FORWARD.

Step Three — Install the Door-Side Seat Jacker

Slide the larger Seat Jacker under the seat rail nearest the door.

The smaller threaded hole on one end should face REARWARD.

Step Four — Attach Seat Jackers to the Floor

Apply Blue Loctite to the provided 30mm socket-head bolts and install them through the countersunk hole in each Seat Jacker and into the vehicle floor. Use an 8mm Allen.

Align the Seat Jackers so they are parallel with the seat rails and the threaded holes on top are visible through the seat rails.

IMPORTANT — TRANSMISSION TUNNEL ALIGNMENT
The transmission-tunnel bolt enters at a slight angle. Be extremely careful not to cross-thread the bolt. You may need to flex the seat frame or realign the seat rails to properly align the bolt.

Torque the 30mm bolts to 35ft-lbs.

Step Five — Attach the Seat to the Seat Jackers

Apply Blue Loctite to the provided 20mm socket-head bolts.

On the door side only, place the supplied washer onto the 20mm bolt. The washer should sit between the bolt head and the seat mount.

Insert the 20mm bolt through the seat rail and seat mount, then thread it into the threaded hole on top of the Seat Jacker.

On the transmission-tunnel side, install the 20mm bolt through the seat rail and directly into the threaded hole on top of the Seat Jacker. No washer is used on the transmission-tunnel side.

IMPORTANT — TRANSMISSION TUNNEL ALIGNMENT
The transmission-tunnel bolt enters at a slight angle. Be extremely careful not to cross-thread the bolt. You may need to flex the seat frame or realign the seat rails to properly align the bolt.

Torque the 20mm bolts and rear seat bolts to 35ft-lbs.

Step Six — Final Alignment & MMP Installation

Verify the Seat Jackers are properly aligned and securely installed.

If installing the optional Multi-Mount Panel, install it at this time.

Final Check

• Verify both Seat Jackers are parallel with the seat rails.
• Confirm all bolts are properly threaded and torqued to 35ft-lbs.
• Confirm the transmission-tunnel bolts are properly aligned and not cross-threaded.
• Confirm the seat is securely mounted before operating the vehicle.
• If applicable, confirm the Multi-Mount Panel is securely attached.
