JeepsOLot Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have searched until my eyes bled! I'm trying to find out exactly how to mount these '94 2dr XJ seats into my '86 MJ. I have both seats and brackets from the XJ and have the brackets from the MJ bench. This is what I do know, the mounting holes on the '94-'96 XJ seats/sliders are spaced about 6" more apart then the MJ bracket holes, and the adjuster bar that goes between the XJ sliders goes below the level of the bottom of the sliders. I was originally going to use a flat plate, but, with the adjuster issue, that won't work. I'm thinking of using bar stock steel to adapted them, but, not sure how to go about it. Any help with this would be appreciated! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepsOLot Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I read that whole thread, but, that was for the '84-'93 XJ seats, the bolt holes on the '94-'96 seats are wider by 6" then the MJ brackets, so these instructions don't address the different widths. That is what I need info and guidance on. Thanks! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Those look like 95+ seats to me. If they are the easiest thing to do is cut the floor braces out of the donor and weld them in your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepsOLot Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 According to the emissions tag on the firewall, it's a 1994 2 dr XJ. I'll figure something out. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I recently put a Grand Cherokee seat in place of the MJ bucket seat without doing any welding. Send me you email address and I will send you some pictures of how I did it. I need to do a proper writeup and post it to the DIY section. This will get me off the stick. I got everything I needed at the Home Depot, so it is not too difficult - just time consuming. If you are a decent welder, then it may be quicker to cut out the brackets from a 95+ Cherokee. I really don't know. I expect my second seat to go much faster because I have worked out just what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepsOLot Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well, I got these XJ seats because they were from a 2dr, they were in great shape, and they were tan, which was what I was looking for. I really want to use these seats, I'll look at them and the brackets I have, and try something tonight. Go ahead and share about the GC seats here, if you want, seems there is interest.
