XJ seats to MJ


Recommended Posts

I've got the rocker bases in my XJ and a spare set.  Can't remember details, but after much consideration I decided they couldn't be adapted to MJs.  At least not without major surgery.

 

84-86 buckets will mount to MJ bases.  Whether they fold forward just depends on if they came from a 2 door XJ.

4 dr seats will work while you are looking for 2 door seats.  If you find 4 dr seats with the upholstery/color you want in good shape, get them.  When you find compatible 2 dr buckets, the upholstery might be trashed or wrong color, and you can swap the 4 dr covers on!  Then you just have to cut a slit for the tilt forward lever.

 

So you are really looking for two things- compatible seats frames and good upholstery.  They don't have to come from the same donor.

I didn't even think about that. Surely there are some decent seats at my local pull-a-part, or whatever yard. Thanks again for the info.
