New to the forum and starting a restomod 1990 comanche. my question is will the bucket seats from a similar year Cherokee fit into the comanches existing sliders or is it a whole custom mounting job. Thanks for any advice!

The slider mechanisms are the same between the Comanche bench and the Cherokee buckets, it's the floor pedestals that are different. So you can remove the seats from the pedestals and mount the buckets to the MJ pedestals.

 

One thing to be aware of is that many of the 80s Cherokee buckets had a "rocking chair" feature that allows for adjusting the angle of the seat base separately from the angle of the seat back. The seats that had the "rocking chair" function (typically found on the higher trim levels) will put the seat a couple of inches higher when installed on the Comanche buckets. This isn't a problem if you're less than 6 feet tall. It can be an issue for taller drivers.

 

The seats with the rocking chair feature are easy to spot -- they have two levers for adjustment rather than the normal one lever.
