Last time an Renix XJ came into a local SY was nearly two years ago. When I got the notification, I was there the next morning. Sadly, it turned out not to be a Renix (discussed in another thread). Much of the dash had already been picked clean.

Nonetheless I managed to recover some interiors parts including seat cushions, seat covers, floor mats, steering wheel, HVAC selector and a bunch of small trim parts. Here's most of it.



One thing that surprised me were the Jeep carpet floor mats. Driver side is a bit worn and both are pretty dirty but I grabbed them.

Also the lower seat cushions seemed intact. No cuts or tears. A few small stains that should come out. There was also a complete seat cover set (not on any frame/cushion). They too were in good shape.

Good thing I brought my steering wheel puller because the wheel was a bit dirty too but no cuts, so splits/cracks anywhere. I also grabbed all the bits under it like the horn the turn signal cancel horn thingy.

So after cleaning the new seats, out with the old and in with the new(er). My old driver side lower cushion is badly cracked, so no wonder my butt kept sliding to one side. (see pic)



Now the colors are right but the pattern is a bit different (OK so maybe another clue it wasn't an '88). However it's close enough. The only extra thing I had to do was mount the power seat control on the replacement cushions.





Now I need to clean the rest of the interior.

 

Who put fried eggs on your seat bottom!


Nice score

I once got cherry 1990 seats at the wrecker. two door seats so they fold forward. That was enough to give me room to sleep comfortably in back in my 4 door xj

 

"fried eggs"! LOL!!

The upper frame on the driver side was a pick I got almost 2 years ago at the same yard. Mine had a cracked frame that was welded twice but still cracked. Lucky me that '88 had the same color and pattern as mine with the recline option. It now has a small tear at the top of the side bolster. Goona swap out for the "new" cover at some point. Just need to cut a hole for the recline lever.

When I bought mine almost 22 years ago (has it been that long?) it came with the rubber mats. My rt foot has worn through the carpeting and the mat now covers most of it.
