Also, adapting ZJ power seat rails to an XJ is a royal pain in the balls.
If anybody has any advice I am all ears.

Looks like we are going to get off topic here but I too have got to know how you mounted up the WJ rear seat into the XJ. More pics and info PLEASE!!!91 Jeep Project said:What all was required to get them in?
yea there actually is a picture of them folded flat (the fronts are great i will get some more photos up tomorrow...)Big Red said:Thanks for the pics. Can you fold the rear seat down more than you have it? Can you take some pics of the front seats? While this is an awesome mod, I think most people will just do the front seats, but it's awesome to know that this works in a XJ, sure makes it look much more plush. You can tell people this is the super rare Ultra Limited Jeep Cherokee. :laugh3:

yea the more i think about it my jeep wants to be a grand...zj disc brakes, zj v8 coils, wj control arms, wj seats, zj gas tank skid plate, and soon a zj v8 tie rod...i guess my jeep is a grand xj...haha or a cherokee laradeo
Big Red said:WOW, you sure do have a unique XJ there. How much lift did the V8 ZJ coils give you? I have a V8 ZJ, that I could take the front coils from. It is common in the ZJ world to bring the rear coils to the from for a 3.5-4" lift you just need to get new real coils. How did the ZJ gas tank skid work, much modification. What year XJ do you have? Thanks for the info.![]()
Chero-King said:Front ZJ coils give around 1-2"s of lift in an XJ. V8 ZJ coils give around 3"s I assume...
Big Red said:Did you get the power seats working in your XJ? In order to make this work would you think you have to use XJ limited brackets with WJ or ZJ power leather seats? It would be a lot easier to swap in leather Limited seats from a XJ around the same vintage, but I'm sure they aren't as luxurious as the ZJ or WJ Limited seats.
