The whole job only took about 3 hours.

I don't have any pics of my XJ brackets. I did the same job on my TJ and it was generally the same process. Here is how it looks ...




Overall it was a pretty easy swap and well worth it. The ride height and seat movement is as original. The comfort is a LOT better!

If the seat is wet, I'm not sitting on it, next time roll up your window.

Perfect fit for my 98 Jeep Cherokee look great custom fit. Would definitely buy again super strong material. They are $170. This is the way to go not wet Oakley.
