Default Interior swap?

Alright guys I'm back at it with an 88 Cherokee. The interior is toast though. How hard is it to swap parts over? And are there any direct fit swaps?

I was able to use the automatic shifter handle from a 97+ in my 95, I also switched out the cig lighter for a plastic insert that says "Power outlet".

Looks like a whole new interior.

You could theoretically swap out an interior from a 97+. Guys with Comanches do it all the time.

But in a Cherokee it wouldn't be worth it...

95 down less troublesome to swap in just finding a complete in good shape.

From what I remember, the 96 (and 95) has different seat brackets. I think. I'll edit this when I find out for sure. (Yup, they do.)

Also, 96 has a different steering wheel/dash bezel to accomodate said steering wheel. As well as different seat belts. So, if you're going to the JY and you're pulling stuff from a 96 just pay attention.
