97 xj buckets

[banshee]

What will I have to do to put them in an 87 Manche? Its a 97 2 door with leather bucket seats...

The seats from a 97 have different brackets than your 87 seats. But I do recommend 2 door, because they flip forward.

So they do or do not mount the same?

Only Comanche seats bolt right in

No the xj brackets will not bolt in. They make if you can find them brackets that will swap out with the xj brackets. If you can not find them there is a write up on how to make you bench seat brackets bolt up.

95 up XJ seats are different than 94 and earlier XJ seats in the way they attach to the floor.

 

I am in the process of mounting 95 plus buckets (actually Grand Cherokee) into my 91 MJ.  It will be a bolt in adaptation, but a bit of a kludge.  Shelbyluv has posted a weld in adaptation of the Grand Cherokee seats about 4 or 5 years ago.  93 plus Grand Cherokee and 95 plus XJ seats use the same mounting brackets.

 

When I am reasonably happy with the first seat, I will post a DIY article.  So far I have used 4 pieces of unistrut and 2 pieces of .25 by 1 inch flat stock.  Seat sits a bit too high for me so I need to get it lower and eliminate 2 pieces of unistrut.
