Default Front Seat Swap Question?!?!?

I have a 1990 jeep XJ, and wanted to put newer front seats from lets say a '00 cherokee in my car. I have noticed the mounting bracket for the seat is different, but is there a way to make it fit in my car?...Can the tracks be switched over?...or can it be modified to fit?...any input would help

I know for a fact that the 1990 seats and lets say a 99 cherokee have different mounts. Has anyone tried this before with success?...Will the tracks switch over or no?
