I got seats from a 98 xj and put in my 94 xj, the rear is a direct swap the front I had to flattened the front brackets then marked the holes and drilled my floor then bolted them in plus I used the 98 console with cup holders it worked great only thing is the bottom seat is flat instead of leaned back a little but a person could just use spacers to lift the front up some. I'm long legged so it works perfect for me plus I moved them back a inch from the 94 factory bolts.

 

lol that works great

 

And don't put words in my mouth either. I didn't say it was impossible. I listed a write up in my last post. Don't get all high and mighty with me.

 

What was that mr high and mighty?

 

 

Drama in the junk yard. This would make a great reality show.

 

Better than fkn honey boo boo

 

If you think you need a drill press and a bandsaw to cut metal and drill holes, then you must not go to your garage very much. I could do what he did with a 30 dollar corded drill and a 5 buck hacksaw.

 

The 2000 ford Explorer rear disc's set-up is a very sweet upgrade for our jeeps stopping power is awesome on and off road

 

Do you just swap the rear end to get rear disc brakes?

 

Normally the whole axle, there are ways to swap disc's from other things.
But the 8.8 is a good upgrade.

 

You can, or you can swap the drums on the axle you have to disc brakes. Its not all that difficult to do.

 

No I did not do a axle swap, the following parts were removed from a 2000 ford Explorer from the junkyard
2-caliper brackets with backing plates
2-calipers with pads
2-rotors
All nuts, bolts, hardware etc..

I also replaced my steel rusty brake lines from the master Cylinder all the way back with new lines

2 new axle seals, slicone, and 3 bottles of gear oil

I spent no more than $200! Doing this. But I guarantee all of you guy's that this junkyard swap is going to be one of the best upgrades you will ever do to your jeep hands down! My stopping power has improved on and off road, NO MORE SPONGEY BRAKE PEDAL FEAL!

 

Check this pot of gold that I ran into @ my favorite junkyard

My OP: "...will not fit in any shape or form into a 1990 XJ without some real modifications."
I know you got your panties up in a bunch but you can drop them down now.

My intent was to pass on that it's not simply a remove and replace as some people have stated. With later models I'm sure it's easier.

But once again, the 'girls club' got all excited. We all don't have garages, welding kits etc. I did find a link if you'll read the last post prior to you getting all annoyed. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/z...w-pics-289719/ .
