Default Question

I just bought a 93 Cherokee and the drivers seat is in bad shape. The previous owner was a big guy, and the springs are shot and it leans to the left. I was wondering if i could take the seat that is on the passenger side and just flip them..I seem to think not, but did not know for sure. If not, is there a place that i could find on cheap? Was going to start looking at local junkyards ...

I really don't know if you would be able to swap them out. But like you said the JY would be your best bet you you want a cheap price.

I've never done it personally but others have swapped in zj seats. They are supposed to be super comfortable.

Here's one solution (probably temporary for most of us):

JY is probably your best bet but thought I would mention this -- a lot of other good stuff on Go Jeep's site.

I swapped the seats out of our old '85 XJ into the '93. They were extremely comfortable when new and a lot of years after but they're definitely in need of a rebuild now -- considering getting a local auto upholstery guy to do it.
