farmerjohnson Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm trying to decide what seats to put in my Comanche, I want them to be comfortable. So post up pictures of what you guys have put in yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I had 98 ZJ in Onyx and now have a set in my 07 Dodge Cummins. You will not a more comfortable pair of seats out of a junker. I love them. Look at my Project Onyx build for pics and a write up to make the tilt forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Factory Eliminator buckets that I am restoring. Fixed all the broken bits and pieces and they are super comfortable. The bolsters hug you and the seat bottoms when new, or near new, feel great! Highly recommend finding a set! RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoore1031 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My Cherokee is a Laredo, which has nice bucket seats. I think they are the same as an Eliminator other than the fact mine don't fold forward. When I had a Comanche, I had the floors replaced and some ZJ seats installed.

dasbulliwagen Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Stock bench. It could be better, but I love having the option to carry a third person when needed. I envision one day re doing it in black leather with heated seat elements in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envision one day re doing it in black leather with heated seat elements in it. I can fit 3, 4, 5, 6+ passengers, but only one is sitting in the cab besides myself lol. It's a pick up for a reason. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 XJ seats, basically the same as Eliminator seats (they even fold forward). I frikkin love these things. Only seats I've had that were better were the leather ones in my AWD Talon, those things hugged in ways I never would imagine stock seats to do. Adjustable bolster top and bottom and adjustable lumbar. Would love to stick a set of those in anything I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbyrambler Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Grand Wagoneer - Forget the year - in my '87 - Ultra comfy wJs in the '89 - - '06 IIRC - Nice but the Grand Waggys spoiled me - Don't know what I'd do if a pair of grey GWs came along :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Grand Wagoneer - Forget the year - in my '87 - Ultra comfy Other than being power, those looks exactly the same as Eliminator and XJ seats (see mine above) so I'm guessing '80s Grand Wagoneer. The headrests I have are XJ only, otherwise the ones in the Eliminators are exactly like yours. Both my '88 and '91 Eliminators had grey ones identical to my XJ ones other than the headrests.

Minuit Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've pretty much decided to swap in buckets to my truck so this thread definitely has my interest. What kind of modifications are needed to mate the ZJ seats to the MJ frame? (if someone has a writeup for this I apologize) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have seats from a 2 door Cherokee Laredo just like this only with a solid matching cloth headrest. The reclining mechanism needs some work. Otherwise the seats are as good as they look - and they look close to new. As for GirsMJ86's description of Talon seats - I don't think the "fit and comfort" he was describing came from seats!! XJ seats, basically the same as Eliminator seats (they even fold forward). I frikkin love these things. Only seats I've had that were better were the leather ones in my AWD Talon, those things hugged in ways I never would imagine stock seats to do.

mpace6a Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have some stock limited xj leather buckets that I plan on mating to 97+ 2 door tilt mechanisms. Xj leathers are the best IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseMJ Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 These are the XJ 2 door seats out of a 94 or 95. Had to do some modification to the mounts, but they work great. Here you can see the first buckets I put in there compared to the ones I have now. The one on the left has rocker rails and ended up being too tall...not to mention they were from a 4 door XJ, so they did not fold forward. The one on the right is the present seat.

My dad has an 88 laredo he bought off the lot with those same seats with what your calling xj only headrests so i guess my question is did the dealership add the headrests to my dads seats?

If that is indeed the case, than that would be the first I've seen that. Like I said above, headrests were both the solid kind in an '88 and '91 Eliminator which pretty much covers the years. Maybe the ones with the holes were a Laredo thing. It's hard to say without documentation, I've only ever seen them in XJs though. The headrests are interchangeable though.

Found out some info dad said this was definitely stock headrests for 88 Laredo package because it wasn't the only one on the lot and I looked back at classified section all original 88 white Laredo that just sold on eBay about a week ago it also had the circle headrest must have been a Laredo thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Another difference in the headrests were that some had the matching fabric on the headrest instead of an all-vinyl headrest. Anyone else have headrests like these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I picked a couple of those up at the junkyard for my XJ (it came stock with the circle type) just before handing the XJ over to my son. He and his wife liked the fabric ones better so he put them in. They matched the gray "tweed" seats just like in the above picture. I was looking for a back seat with headrests but our previously well stocked junkyard only had ONE Jeep in it the last time I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Don, I have exactly the same head rests on my truck. IMHO, they look so much better than the vinyl or non solid headrests. My truck came from the factory with a base interior and full bench seat. So I salvaged all the interior parts from several different XJ's and a Comanche or two.

IIRC correctly I got them from an 88 XJ Laredo and were the only ones I had seen with the fabric. All the rest were with the goofy center hole or all vinyl.
