These were marketed as compact vehicles.

If you need more seat-to-steering wheel room, you might have a welding shop make you up extenders to move the seat attachment points rearward. They will have to make up supports to extend downwards to the floorboard in the rear footwell area to support the weight of you and the seat.

It you don't think that will solve your problem, consider selling your XJ and getting a Grand Cherokee. They are about 1/3 larger in just about every direction.

ZJ seats will ALMOST bolt in. If I recall, you have to drill 1 or 2 new mounting holes. Same goes for the back seats as well.

Interesting, I never heard that. Just thought they had more features/luxuries.
Good to know.

The ZJ is much roomier than the XJ.
