87comancheNH Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm sorry if this was a question previously answered, but I'm working on an 87 Comanche right now, the bench seat has a few good sized rips in it. Trying to find another comanche is hard enough, let alone one with good seats. Will the seats out of a Cherokee bolt into a Comanche? If so, what years should i be looking for? Bucket or bench does not matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yes you can put Cherokee seats into your MJ. Not a direct bolt in but not too hard either. They later years, starting in 94 I think take a lot more work to get them in. You want to try and find the 2dr type as they fold forward but the 4dr's will work as well. Here's a couple of links that will help. Making XJ buckets work in a MJ Bucket seat restoration and repair. (Lots of Pics) Edit: By the way, Welcome to the club. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBKrazy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 welcome to the site! good to see another (somewhat) local member, the granite state isnt too far away... and yes 94 and up seats take a lot more work to install than 86-93 ones.... on the older ones its just a matter of removing the cherokee mount brackets and installing the comanche ones on the seat tracks... took me about an hour and a half to do the swap in mine...

socal1200r Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Or you could just get the bench seat you already have reupholstered...lots more options that way...

DJM/78 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You can also use the upper stock bolt on the hump side, If your using the newer seats and just drill the three other holes. Weld plates to the bottom and drill through them. Also , the newer brackets are taller, you still have to modify the brackets or the floor . Either way it takes time to get right . I can still take mine in and out easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
