I found a set of seats from a 1990 that are in really good condition for my 2 door, and I have my doubts about swapping over the brackets from my 95 seats to the 90 seats. I found people saying that the brackets swap over, and I’ve found people saying they don’t without additional fabrication. Can anyone tell me why or why not they won’t swap over?

I believe 95-2001 seat bases different.

I'm not 100% sure, but didn't the seat bases change in the front when the body style changed in 1997?

Okay. The seat bases are the same from 84-94 1/2. Some 95’s had the old design, but most after 94 have the raised seat brackets. The design of the 84-94 seats are different from the 95+ seats, and those brackets will not swap over from seat to seat.

However, there are brackets online that are able to adapt a 94 and older seat to a 95+ XJ. And as far as I can tell, the ZJ seats can swap over from the entire production period into an XJ by swapping the brackets if you have a 95+, and the seats from 95-01 are interchangeable as far as I can tell.

If anyone is wondering, I cannot find a bracket to adapt a 84-94 seat to a 95+. I thought they existed, but most are to adapt aftermarket seats to the floor pan. If you want to swap in earlier seats to a later XJ, you’ll have to remove the seat riser. I’m not sure of where the seat goes, but if anyone could send me pictures of a 94 and earlier floor pan in an XJ, that would be awesome

They do make replacement front seat mounts for the 95+ setup. Soo converting your older jeep to a newer seat doesn't have to be soo involved with adapting old lowers to newer upper bits.

Requires welding and depending on how clean you want your carpet looking a carpet swap as well but in comparison to some booty setups ive seen over the years for brackets and such this is a rather simple solution if you have the means to do soo yourself
