Hi all,

I have a 1998 Sport with a light gray interior. I really want to add leather seats to it, but I am having the hardest time finding a light gray leather interior on either a ZJ or a WJ.

I do have access to a set of nice WJ black leather seats. I'm not sure how those would go with the light gray interior. They would match the black door cards and dash piece, but still, I'm not sure. Anyone have pics of this?

I'm almost wondering if it would be easier to SEM dye the rest of the interior around those seats. Basically converting to an all black interior. Shots of that?

Also, are the back seat bottoms easier to install from a ZJ or a WJ? It seems that the WJ seats require hammering the fender wells out a bit to fit right. Pics of that process?


Also, what about installing a WJ steering wheel? My main concern is that the cruise function wouldn't work. I know they have a volume control on the back side, which I wouldn't need.


What other upgrades to the interior would be a neat one?

Anyone?

just get some seat covers lol, no one cares about interior here, but in my opinion i think black would look good with grey....

In the write up section there is a write up on how to install rear grand cherokee seats, as well as the front. Depending on which g. cherokee seats you nab I believe you would just have to do a swap of the seat rails to avoid driling new anchors into your floor. Also, If you look harder I do believe that people have changed out the steering wheels, what came of it I don't know.

interior matters to me... best bet would be to look in the junkyard for factory leather xj seats... it could take some time but are findable... but you can't just swap the covers the foam is different so you have to swap the whole seat... I hope that helps

Honesty if you want luxury options in your vehicle you shouldn't be driving a jeep lol just saying.

I put leather seats from a 95zj limited. Didnt do the back seat, I dont sit back there lol. I just swapped the seat rails and bolted right in.

its not over done luxury its function... its also easy to keep clean.... ever try getting mud out of cloth? leather cleans up alot better...... so Im just saying your wrong.... btw you can have a comfy ride in a jeep and function... its not one or the other...

I got some dark gray leather seats out of a junkyard xj. I put them in with the tan interior. Idgaf about looks, the leather is so much easier cleaning mud off than the cloth was. And my seats get pretty trashed considering I wheel with half doors. The power does work on them though

how hard was it to get the seats so they move i saw those same seats in a local junkyard and it was a 88

its a bolt on...

There really isn't anywhere around here to mud anyway.

I like having nice stuff in my Jeep. Sure a WJ is more upscale (I'd love to have one). But, the XJ is still a superior vehicle in terms of reliability with electronics (for the most part).



I don't own a Jeep for the off-road aspects of ownership. I own it because its a comfortable vehicle, extremely reliable, and cheap/easy to fix when things do go wrong.

I'm with ya on that one, But like every one is saying, If you have a JY by you just stroll through and check it out to see if they have any leather seats. Xj's are a direct swap but the zj is a direct swap of the seat (switch the seat rails). Good luck, I may be looking to do something similar when I get some cash flow.
