What are these seats from ?

[Strokermjcomanche]

I'm looking for seats for my 88 Comanche that I will eventually put a black interior in , are these out of a newer Xj / WJ / Zj or from the 1990 Xj limited that they are currently in ( the current owner has no clue if they're original or not)

 

I'm fully aware of the bracket and seat year / model changes and that these seats won't flip forward , but I have actual mj bucket seats and plan to switch these covers on my seats ... Thanks for the help

Not sure what year or model they came from, I just wanted to comment that I like your plan of just swapping the covers, doing that allows you to make sure you are using good unbroke seat pans. I always like the idea of "rebuilding" seats if needed, instead of just swapping (unless the seats are pristine of course).

Those are indeed stock to that vehicle, nice find!

100% sure ? It has the 97and newer center console .. I don't want to drive a couple hours away to find out they need modified lol.

 

Don't think I'm doubting you , just that I wanna make sure ...

I was going to have my current seats recovered which is going to be pricey and the extra mj seats I have are in great shape minus the covers off of an 86

Those are the seats from the XJ Limited and later on optional on the Country. I want a set very, very badly. Door panels are the Limited versions too so it's pretty much certain those are the original seats.

 

The bolster design is a little bit different on the later versions (more rounded), but those are the early ones that will bolt on to an MJ seat bracket. The early ones are just the Laredo/Eliminator seats with different covers. These are the later ones:

100% sure ?

1000% sure. ;)

 

I own a '90 Limited, with junkyard seats I pulled from another Limited. I wish I could find another set that nice for U-Pull prices.

WOW! I'd even try to adapt those to fit my '90. When you look at the proportions, the seat cushion looks longer on the newer seats.

 

To the OP, ask for a picture of the front mounting point. Another difference is the earlier seats have a lever on the seat back for a recline position.

Yep. Longer seat cushion, rounded bolsters, and the recline lever is at the base of the seat rather than in the seat back. I think they're a little wider, too.

 

If you put those in your '90, could you mail me your Limited upholstery? :D I can try, right?

If you don't like them, I'll take them off your hands.  :thumbsup:

[Strokermjcomanche]

And here they are , in pretty good shape too . One small hole in the drivers seat bottom cushion ( looks like cigarette burn ) , no tears or other noticeable defects other than normal 17 year old seats .

[HOrnbrod]

You're not keeping those crummy seats, are you? With a hole? :yes:

 

Are they grey or black?

[Strokermjcomanche]

No , I'm just going to throw them away . I'm probably going to have to pay extra for the trash man to take them .

[HOrnbrod]

Naw, don't do that. Just pull the covers and ship them to me. I'm trying to help you out Adam. 

[Strokermjcomanche]

But it has a hole in the cover ?

[HOrnbrod]

That's the point. I know what a perfectionist you are - you wouldn't like them at all. I'll even pay shipping if you insist.

Hahahah , I like this game . I'll look around and see if I can find more , I've had good luck lately finding limited Xjs and such .

27-year-old seats!

 

This is where the Colorado climate sucks:

1) Dry air.

2) Increased UV exposure.

3) Oxygen starved minds.

 

The only way I'll find used seats that nice, is to stumble into an estate sale where the vehicle has been parked indoors for 15 years.

You got me lol , 27 . This cherokee had a rather clean body , but I have no clue where it came from. I have a brother that lives in Parker ,and I've got a couple MJs from that region . I'd buy as many as my wallet allows ... Ohio vehicles suck lol

I've got a set of these seats in my Eliminator and have been wondering where they came from. Is there anyway to make these sit lower? I'm 6'4" and my head touches the Headliner. I like the leather seats but will probably have to replace them if there isn't a way to lower them.

Are they still power seats ? I switched mine to manual and without them being in the vehicle , I'd say they are ok .

Lol I was just reading this part of your build thread. Anyway no these are manual seats. I believe they are from a 4dr XJ originally.
