Title: WJ seats into an XJ
Post by: scrw on October 28, 2008, 07:44:03 PM
Just spent a few hours working out the config of the seat runners to get some WJ leather seats into my Cherokee. Seems a straight forward swap, just need to drill a couple of holes and modify the seat runner to move the adjuster back. Installing them tomorrow so will do some photos.

Is this with manually adjusting seats or electric?

Electric, drivers seat in and working, passenger to do this afternoon.
Need to find some switches for the heated seats before I wire them in, did Mk2 XJ's ever have a heated seat option?

I believe the Orvis version did.

I'd be interested to see some photos  :-)

They are so much better than the old seats on a cold morning even without the heaters wired in. XJ leather seats seem to get very cold, new ones don't. Best mod apart from the LPG without a doubt, dead comfy.

Doing the rears this week

Do they sit higher or lower than the standard xj seat?

unsure, if you use the standard XJ rails on the drivers side it will be the same height I think, but I modded the WJ rails and got an inch extra height I think.

All that extra heat will get you piles methinks...
