BradH71 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have recently found a 1997 Cherokee for parts that I can pick up very cheap, buy first I wanted to make sure I could use enough off of it for my 1988 MJ Sportruck. I would want to use the seats, console, window motors for power windows, instrument cluster. Etc...So my question is what can be switched over to use?

Eagle Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The seats and mounts are different. You might be able to adapt the Cherokee seats to the MJ pedestals, but it won't be a drop-in swap. The console will require modifications. I don't think the late model window motors will work in the early doors, but I'm not certain. Your MJ has a mechanical speedometer. The '97 Cherokee has an electronic speedo. Beyond that, the '97 cluster won't fit your '88 dashboard, so you would be looking at a total dashboard swap.

BradH71 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Are there any buckets that will just drop in? I don't mind a little fabrication but I'd rather have the ease of plug-n-play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 IIRC, 2dr XJ seats bolt to the MJ brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyt120 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 all first gen xj seats will bolt onto MJ brackets but only the 2 door ones will be able to fold forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
