You'd be better off starting your own thread asking this...

 

Can you put a split bench from a gc in a 01 xj. I am pretty sure I've seen it somewhere online but can't remember where

 

Here's my situation and what I want to do: I have a 98 XJ and I have located a set of leather seats out of an 01 Grand Cherokee ... I'm good to go? (provided I swap the rails off the bottoms of the seats I have in the XJ)

Also, do you guys think $250 for the full set is a fair price? I realize it depends on the conditions, which I don't yet know. For arguments sake, assume they are in good condition.

 

Yes you can - 93-98 ZJ and 99-04 WJ's will work. Check the link in my signature for the write up.

They'll work as long as you swap the base and rails. $250 is a little steep IMO, but I also pulled mine from the JY and only paid $80 for the full set.

 

how about this, can you put different brackets or rails under the seat so you can actually put stuff under the seat? like an amp or something?

 

If you custom make it, yes.

 

ahhh i see.

 

I drive an '00 XJ Sport. If I got the leather seats out of a ZJ (Which is like 94-98 or something, right?), they would bolt directly into place? No modification needed?

 

You need to take the mounts and rails from your current seats and put them on the ZJ seats.

 

now what if i wanted to put in powerseats i found ,how had would it be to wire up

 

I too would like to know how difficult the wiring is for power seats. I went out to a junk yard and found a buttery set of leather seats out of an 01 GCL and can see there's maybe five wires for each seat. Goodness knows how far and to where those wires go ...

Maybe better off with leather seats out of an XJ Limited?

 

I have a 88 limited. Power seats all that wonderful jeep electrical gremlin wiring =D if I fab mybrackets of my xj seats to fit the zj seats could I keep the xj power stuff to move the zj seats?

 

correct on the 95 and up and 94 and down. different floors, different bolt pattern.

you can do the wiring, it's very easy. just get the harness/plugs from the donor vehicle and snip them as high up as you can. then just wire them in from there and be sure to use a relay and inline fuse as the grand seats with heaters use a lot of current.

i put in some power leather seats from a limited into my 90 pioneer and just did the harness to inline fuse and wired to battery. you could add a fuse block on the firewall or under the dash that is wired to the battery also.

 

Sweet im totally doing the swap these seats are totally uncomfortable but leather zj seats are super comfy thanks man!

 

just be sure to properly wire it all up with relays and inline fuses. and double check wiring for any bare spots. last thing you want is a burnt up jeep in your driveway.
