Default Front seat swap

Ones anyone know what year front seats will bolt right in to my 99 Cherokee ? Local junkyard has a nice set but I'm not sure if they will bolt right in. The donor Cherokee looks to be a early to mid nineties veh. Is $100 for the pair a good price?
My drivers seat is shot.

In the meantime maybe look around in "info threads" at the beginning here. There were allot of changes around 95, but I don't know which seats.

Side story, EVERYONE! Those headrests REALLY matter! A bit back I got rear-ended, doing 35-40 in a 35 Zone. Mrs.
Hammer, (yes, her real name), she had to be going over 70 MPH when she hit us. Both the driver's and my hats went into the back. My passenger seat bent back to 45* ish. She hit us square with a White Volvo wagon, hard enough to bend the receiver hitch down about 20*, (on a very flat road). (her front bumper stayed stuck on my tow-ball, when we drove back around to see that she was OK. )

Without the headrest's, WE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN SEVERE NECK INJURIES. We both got plenty sore from that.......

You may be able to make seats from a pre 97 or so fit by using your seats brackets. where are you located?

A lot of seats fit. ZJ and apparently WJs too. Just gotta use your brackets. Plus you can make relocators to move your seat back 3 inches for more legroom.

Thanks, thats what I needed to know. Almost sure this is a match, I'll find out Monday when I bring my jeep to the yard. Didn't have my jeep with me today but I took photos today and the bolt holes look like a match.

Donor car was a 95, I had to swap the mounts because the seat belt buckle mount was different on my 99.
