Question Zj seats in xj

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a set 94 larado zj seats. What will need to be done to make them fit in my 99 2 door xj. I know this has been discussed before but I keep hearing different stuff from different people. Thank you for all the help!!!

Not a direct swap. XJ seat frames on ZJ seats.

This is incorrect. Any ZJ seat will bolt to any 95+ XJ.. XJ just needs the horizontal bolt/structure for the front mounting bracket.

So you're saying the ZJ seat frame will bolt to the floor of a XJ?

I'm saying any ZJ seat frame will bolt directly to any 95+ XJ.

95 started with the "horizontal" front bolt through bracket. Basically like a crossmember under the front above the floor.

Understood. So to put ZJ seats in the older XJs you'd need to swap the ZJ seats over to the XJ seat frames.

Yes I used to have an older xj and it didnt have the same horizontal positioning so id say you would just have to swap rails! Im lucky I got a 99 (:
