Seat replacement
Any recommendations for better front (non-powered) seats that would bolt easily into a 1990 XJ Pioneer and perhaps be more comfortable/give more room to slide back? Basically I wanted to see what upgrades you all may have done using pick-n-pull or similar. Plus I'm sort of a big dude and need a tad more room up front.

My buddy did ZJ front seats in his. Very comfortable. But, his is a 99 and it was easy to do. Your floorpan is different and you would need to modify the seat tracks but I'm sure someone has done it.

I tried both ZJ and WJ seats in mine. The ZJ seats sat up higher then the factory seats in my 96. It was a problem since I'm 6' and my head was up on the headliner. I ended up keeping in the WJ seats since they were more comfortable plus had more head room. The only thing i see different with the WJ seats are they do sit a little closer to the dash then my factory seats did. Both ZJ and WJ seats bolted to my factory seat brackets with no issues.

I have a '94 - will the brackets move over to a ZJ seat?
Edit: sorry meant WJ.

My driver's seat-back is bent back. It is the non movable 4 door kind. I have a set of clean bucket seats out of a '91 Chevy 3/4 ton van from an old project. Would these fit in my '87 XJ and still give me decent headroom? (I'm also 6')
