I have a 95 Ranger and I have the 60/40 seats with the built in center console and I am interested in any info or pics anyone has of cutting down the driver's seat into buckets.

I have heard of this being done but do not know how difficult it is or any pointers on doing it. If anyone could help that would be great.

its realy easy man make sure you pull back the seat cover so the foam, and seat frame is exposed, cut off the excess, fold the seac cover back over and sew it up, good luck!

Thanks for the link, you are right it doesn't really look that difficult. The only thing I might need help with is sewing the seat back up.

it took me about an hour and a half i used the tools specifeid in the tech artical and my wife is sewing up some seat covers to fit over and cover all the exposed metal and to make it look like the seats have been fully re-upolstered. but all in all it wasnt that hard and im very happy with the results
