97-01 xj seats in mj

[dancome433]

alright so i have a set of 99 xj seats from my buddies rolled xj, i know they won't bolt directly in, and i would have to swap the seat brackets. and i know people have done it with 84-96 seats, but is there any difference between the 99 seats and say a set of 96 seats? to clarify could i use the 99 seats on my mj seat brackets without a problem?

I haven't swapped out my bench seat yet so I can't answer your question but I can tell you I prefer earlier model bucket seats. The new model seats in my 01 cherokee suck. I used to drive a beat up 89 cherokee and the seats were a lot more comfortable. That is my opinion though and everyone's lower back is different. :D

yea and ive thought about finding some old xj style seats and put them in, but after my buddy rolled his cherokee i figured free seats is better than looking for a decent pair of seats and having to buy them

You'll have to find a way to adapt them. The 97+ seats are very different. In fact, I think the seat bracketry changed in 95 or 96. The newer seats are still worth while though, they just need a bit more effort/creativity. :thumbsup:
