Any XJ seat from 94 and older will bolt right in.

Good luck, EVERY XJ I've ever seen at the junk yard looked like a herd of wild elephants had stampeded over the front seats.

Wild elephants with DIRTY feet!

True. If the seat isn't all torn to hell and filthy, it usually smells of cat ****.

Was the car urine odour factory stock or dealer installed?
After many years of intensive treatment my rig smells like dog, wet dog!
Would any of the ZJ seats bolt in or with some rail variation that could be done backyard shade tree?

Yea, after my dog rides I crack the widows overnight, smell gone next day.

Worst smell incident ever. Spilled diff fluid on the front carpet, after cleaning, took about 3 months for the stench to peter out, that's with all 4 windows cracked every night.

Used diff fluid smells but burnt fluid stinks.


The ZJ seats bolt to the XJ frame.

Differential friction modifier is the worst smell there is to try and get out of the carpet.

I have a 93 that the seat back busted so I got one from a later model from the junk yard and swapped the cloth and cushions on the back but had to keep the seat because there is an extra brace in the newer seats and I couldn't swap. The seat wasn't too bad but the foam is collapsed on one side. I plan to pull it and re-foam it later.

Does anyone know what kind of modifications it would take to make some seats from a 96 work in a 88? I found a nice set on Craigslist.
