not sure which year they switched the floor boards.
some bolt straight down while the newer ones bolt from the front.

If the front 2 mounting feet are close to vertical, they are probably from a 95-01 XJ. Or they could be from a Grand Cherokee (ZJ), I have no idea if 91 ZJ seats fit in any XJs, and a lot of people don't know the differnece between Grands and "regular", "box", or "square" Cherokees

they're pulling your leg. zj grand cherokee didn't come out till 93.
and if your new seats bolt in from the front, they're either out of a 93+ zj or 95+ xj.
