I need a little intel. My driver seat is "jamming", I can get it to move forward as long as I pull it to the drivers side and tap the switch, seems like it is binding. This is my first Jeep with power seats so I need help, anybody know a psychiatrist :mrgreen: ! Thanks,

Simon

Usually new seat track but you can get under there and look for a pulled out cable on the drive motor.

Mine kind of "chugs" along like something is skipping. The passenger side is smooth.

Take apart the connectors and clean them off

If its binding some simple lube could not hurt...may squeze some more life out of it.

Hell mine decided to crack in 2 places and then pretty much break apart at the bottom of the frame, now my seat just flops around( bieing 6'2" and 300lbs probably has something to do with it )

The seats are easy to unbolt ( just four main bolts ) and then you can lift it up to where you can see underneath while you opperate it. Maybe if you clean out the old used rubbers etc. from the previous owner and give it a good lube

I see your thinking about a 5.5" lift or have you already done it?
Either way you've got bigger wavos than me, too chicken to go that high.
I'm going for the wimpy 2" BB untill I come to the first thing I can't get over then maybe I'll want to go higher. :roll:

My kids are gone too, I guess that's why us old guys now have time to do some serious wheelin' :mrgreen:

Good Luck.
