Anyone know if WJ seats will fit a XJ with some modification? My switches have all but died and I'm after something new or manual.

[Dave69]

seat runners will require modifying and or re-bolting to floor pan due to the offset installation

What about zj?

   I have a feeling that ZJ seats are pretty much a direct swap, but you lose some headroom. Have the switches stopped working on your current seats (my passenger seat has also just decided it doesn't want to move backwards! )?

Yes bryn 1 direction never worked and at the LRO show at Peterborough (long story) I gave my mates kids driving lessons in the jeep and after 3 kids use they were dead. ZJ seats sound good, are they the same in the rear also?

I think its more of a squeeze in the rear Jay although I believe it can be done

[Brynjaminjones]

I think you have to fab up some custom brackets to make the rears fit, but I have seen it done. I also have a feeling that they sit at a different angle and lose some more room.
You do get the split-fold though, which could be handy

ZJ seats fit but you need to split the seat rails as they are not a direct bolt in. didn't have a loss of head room when i fitted some into my XJ.

Just came across a Pirate build of an XJ buggy...... He fitted WJ seats.....no drama.... So it can be done.
