The bottoms fold forward then the backs lay down. One or both at a time.

 

I've been wondering and wondering and I found this link

It goes over putting 2008 WK(Grand Cherokee) seats in an XJ. In my recent research I found out this

ZJ('93-'98) seats fit in 96+XJ's('96 right?) - Pre '96 with a little fab and a hammer.

WJ('99-'04) seats fit in ZJ

and WK('05-'10) will fit in a WJ

What about the back 40/60 seat? Heres WJ seats in a '96 XJ

From what I can tell they all seem to be interchangable relatively easily. This is good news!

I'll keep you posted on the 07 patriot seats I'm putting in. Still waiting on them, shipping got delayed(my fault) and then the 4th happened...

 

One thing to add...after lurking in the Grand Cherokee forums, I did here alot of comlpaints about the WJ seats being a little uncomfortable. They're too stiff. I heard the WK seats are alot better and it seems the WJ guys are starting to swap out for WK seats.

 

I love the front ZJ seats. Stiff enough that they dont sink in so far you end up sitting on the spring (like the XJs) and soft enough that it doesnt feel like you are sitting on a board. Although the stock XJ seats do look cooler. I cant comment on the rear seats those. I dont have them yet.

 

i did the zj rear seat swap in my 96

just had to drill a few holes. they fit a little tightly, but not bad at all.

they sit a touch taller than the xj seat though. headroom wasnt an issue for most passengers though.

 

ill be doin this now.... ive heard for the backseat its to wide or something?

 

got my seats in the rear free! ill post pics when done! im like 3/4 the way through!

 

The 07 rear compass/Patriot rear seat I got fit fine, but was too tall for my liking, so I took the skin off and am having an upholstery buddy put it on the stock cushions. He's also going to remove the headrests off the new skin too. Still waiting to do this...logistical problem $$

I know the fronts will fit good, they are almost identical to the WK seat

 

ok heres my rear seat!

 

will a set of 04 wj seats fit in a 98 xj? or is it just the ZJ seats

 

Read post #17

After '97, pretty much all Jeep seats are the same size. I've still got a set of heated leathers from a 07 Jeep patriot going into my 90 XJ

 

how well do these fold down with the head rest do they go all the way flat? with my stock seat the back is tight against the bottom without the added head rest

 

the headrests pop off and go in the flipped up part u sit on!

 

i want to do this mod for the sole purpose of making a mount to keep my 34" LTB spare in the Jeep and not on top.
