Both front and back for 150!!!!! hell yeah!!!!

Now they are all electric. I know they will bolt to the XJ rails (front) in the back i will have to make some brackets.

Now they are completely electric but i will just put them on the manual slider XJ rails (unless someone tells me or get me a good write up) But the recline is electric so i will have to wire that up no matter what.

Anybody got any ideas or done it. Or have a write up

Please post some pics of the install. I was under the (mistaken) impression that they were too wide to fit a non-Grand Cherokee.

the rears need some trimming but the front bolt right onto the stock rails(97+). Wiring will be the only issue. But i will be sure to post pics

went and got them tonight!!!

My duma$$ forgot the back to the 60% side of the back seat. bahhhhhhh

he said he has a cabin north of me so i think i am going to have him drop them off when he goes up next time. Since i dont plan on doing the back for a while and am not driving an hour for that piece lol

What year ZJ are they out of? I'd definately wire them up somehow, it's nice to have fully adjustable seats IMHO.

98

And without XJ electric rails full functionality isnt gonna happen. (to much dang wiring) luckilly though the rear tilt motor only has a pos and neg wire so it will be easy to wire.

I got them both in but not wired yet.

they sit about an inch higher and a inch or two closer. i am gonna see if i can drill new holes in the driver side to move it back some.

Looks good, and it looks like it matches the interior better than the originals!

Looks very nice, wish I lived closer, I'd buy your stock seats if they would fit a 93, but I'm no where near you and I can not afford the shipping!!!

kmanxj

they wouldnt work in 93 anywho;)

and thanks guys i think it matches way better. The leather is a little dry, i have been spraying it with eagle one protetant and it is just soaking it up!!!! What have you guys used on leather before?

Oh well then I don't want them anyways lol

Saddle soap works great on leather, I use it to oil my saddles and to oil my leather couch, love it!!

I got some leather care stuff from my Harley dealer with my jacket and it has done a great job on my old '90s seats to keep them supple. I just says Harley Leather Care on the spray bottle.

Oh, shoot I would think for sure they would have saddle soap if you want to try that. It is a pretty cheap way to take care of leather. My roping saddle is now 21 years old, I oil it once a year and it still looks good, it is due for another cleaning, but I have been putting it off.
