wranglercory Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I was just wondering if anyone has installed a set of these buckets. I just got a pair of buckets from a two door Cherokee and after looking at them I think I will drill out the spot welds on the support in front of the seat that in the Cherokee the front of the seat bolts to. I plan to just drill out the spot welds on the Comanche and weld in the support from the Cherokee. I am just wondering if there is a reason I havent seen a write up on swaping buckets that way . I'm planning on doing a write up unless this has been done. The write up I saw had you completely dissamble the seats and use the bench seat brackets. The way I am thinking it can be done amounts to drilling out spot welds on the support to get the support out of both vehicles swaping the Cherokee support into the Comanche then I havent seen where the rear bolts will need to go but the simplest way I see is to mark and drill out the rear holes and put a grade 8 bolt through with a steel plate to add support to the under side.

Well he is still a little new so perhaps help him out to ensure he knows how to use search, and perhaps give him a link since you know there is like 4 threads on this subject, kinda get my drift man? well under the search link type what you looking for and click search all terms for best results, I cam up with this one that may help out... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15504&hilit=97+seats+in+MJ
wranglercory Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 Well I have completed one of the seats and what I did worked flawlessly. I completely removed the bench seat, then I welded in the bucket seat perch. This is the part on Cherokees that the front two seat bolts bolt into. I had went to the JY and used a spot weld bit to remove them. lined everything up and presto the only bolt that remained was the rear inside bolt the other rear I drilled
