1992EliminatorSWB4x4 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 My 1992 Eliminator bottom of Drivers seat has a cracked broken metal pan that is located below the foam. Will a 4 door Cherokee pan and/or a 2 door Cherokee both fit OK up to years 1996 or so? The numbers on the bottom of my pan are 8F C35 ( ) 1371 and 65418 PAN, and 30889. Any one have that pan they could sell me also? Thanks from Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 You can replace your seat bottom with one from any right or left MJ/XJ bucket seat up to and including the 1994 models. They are all the same, and you reuse your existing upholstery cover on the replacement. It's best to get a passenger side seat bottom from the yard as they are always in better shape. I replaced my drivers side with a NOS unit a few years ago. You can still get them but they are quite expensive. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-OEM-CHRYSLER-PAD-PAN-FRT-SEAT-CUSH-55195850-/322203028663?hash=item4b04cc0cb7:g:1rYAAOSwIgNXlHJs&vxp=mtr Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1992EliminatorSWB4x4 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Don, thanks again, got a 1994 Cherokee 4 door passenger seat today from pick- n - pull yard today for $25, took the seat apart and put the bottom pan and foam on my 1992 Eliminator using my original seat bottom fabric that is still in great shape, the pan fit like a glove and was a pretty easy job swapping them, now I finally sit straight and not crooked, glad I did it. Thanks for your great advice and help. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comanche2 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I just did the same thing. Got one out of 90-94 Cherokee 4 door on the passenger side and replaced the drivers side in the Eliminator. It works great. The only problem I have now is that I have to get used to sitting a few inches higher, lol. And it only cost $20. Thanks for posting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Probably not a bad idea for us guys to snag at least one or two of those first chance we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Reviving old thread. So my driver seat also had that gangsta lean to it and I assumed being 30yrs old the foam had just caved in. Took it back to the upholstery shop I recently had redo the interior and come to find out, yup, the seat pan had a hairline crack on the outer side that supports the door side bolster. They said my foam was actually in really good shape but after welding up the seat pan they put a piece of dense foam underneath the bolster to help resist compression for good measure. Like comanche2 said, I now sit substantially higher (normal).......what a difference. $45 to pull the seat, take it apart, weld it up, put it back together and reinstall it. Hell yeah! Lesson learned? If your MJ has severe bottom seat cushion droop, it may be a cracked pan and not necessarily worn out foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
