zj seats in xj

[nemesis]

i started installing the back section of the back seats. the cushion need some trimming on the seat foam and mounting brackets. waiting for the weather to hit 50* again so i can finish it. front seats will be leather and power.

here's the passenger seat not install yet. i just need the driver seat. most i found at the jy are ripped so just gotta be patient til i find a nice clean one.

I did this on my 99 XJ, I could not find a set of leather seats that werent torn so I settled for cloth, so much more comfy and it was a rather simple swap

i didn't do the cloth cuz leather is easy to clean specially getting it from the jy who know what the po done to it. did you have to trim the driver's side cushion foam or both cushion brackets?

 

[IZZy]

No trim was needed, took off the zj brackets off and bolted mine on

 

[nemesis]

this is the back seat im talking about that need trim

 

[IZZy]

Oh I only did the fronts lol, I didnt want to bother making the rears fit

 

[nemesis]

got the back seats done. now i know why most jeep guys only do front seats swap.

got the passenger side mounted. power seat works. too bad i can't enjoy siting on yet til i find the driver side.

are your stock seats power? might be interested in buying them off you, the driver side on mine broke shortly after buying it from you lol

hey kyle, how's the jeep running? no it's not power. go to the jy and get seat motor. there's plenty of the early model xj at the jy with power seat. blue island is one of the jy. it's half price sale this friday thru sunday.

was in my friend's garage last time i talked to him. i'll check tomorrow make sure he didn't throw away. did you check fuse cuz they work fine when i had the jeep. i seldom change the power switches often so i wouldn't know. if you can find '93-96 i think xj country those usually came with power leather seats, they look pretty nice.

done with zj seat swap finally. it was hard to find driver's side that's not torn up, but i did found nice zj seat. well here's the finish project. front seats are all power.
