Another seat question

[kpick]

Hi All,

I spent about 2 hours trying to find the post in the forum and just could not come up with an answer.

I have a 87 MJ and just found some seats from a 97 Cherokee.

 

My truck had the beach seat in it and a slider swap looks like it would not work (i.e. two rail sliders per bucket seat).

 

What is a fella to do?

 

Any help or suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

It much easier to swap older Cherokee buckets 2 door one are best as they will tilt forward. Your bench has 2 brackets on each side so there are enuf brackets under there. But it has been done putting 97+ buckets in.

You keep the sliders that are on the seats. You only swap the pedastals (the part that bolts to the floor) over.

The 97 seats are different. The whole bracket setup is different. U wouldnt beable to use them. Unless theres a writeup on that setup can't remember. The up to early 90s u can use your seat brackets.

I swapped '97 seats in recently. I had to cut and reweld the outboard rear mounts, also cut and angled the inside rear mounts. Then I cut off the downward tab on the front ones and used some square stock to make front pedestals. I mounted the front pedestals right behind the floor crossmember. Depending on how tall you are will depend on where you need to locate. If I get the chance sometime soon, I'll snag some pics.
