It will fit, use your existing cherokee bases and use the slider from the comanche. There are rivets holding the slider/bases together so you will have to drill/torch em and then re-rivet them together. The console will have to be swaped out aswell and the handbrake is gonna have to come out. Just swap int he foot brake from a comanche while your at it and itll all work jsut dandy.

FYI you will probably lose a lil bit of headroom, so if your a tall guy I wouldnt suggest doing this. Im just wondering whats your reason for wanting a bench seat? Cute girlfriend? haha

I would really like to see how that would work out. I don't think that it would be that hard with a little imagination. I think it would look pretty cool. Post some picts if you do it.

IIRC they do slide forward and fold to a certain point. Only issue with it is that you have to pull on both tabs for the seat to slide and fold. The one on passenger and driver side.
