So the seats in my Cherokee completely suck. So i found a sweet deal on some seats from a 97 up and was wondering if they would bolt in to my 90. any help is greatly appreciated cause im tired of my seat since it leans to the left and has a giant tear. anyways thanks.

They should. Measure your seats track length and with and observe where the bolts are placed and how many there are and then do the same observations for the new seat.

No, the floor is different from about 96 up. You would have to modify your floor or the brackets.

nope, two completely different animals. I have a sweet set of leather power seats I'm selling right now that would fit, but they are currently promised to a member in IN. As long as we can hammer out the shipping problems they're sold, but if not they'll be up for sale again.

i just put 97 seats in my 88, the backseat went in the same. The front the brackets are differnt, its an easy fix tho. It only took a couple hours and i have a power drivers seat. They also seem wider and sit a touch higher but thety are better seats

I've got a set of gray cloth, manual seats from a 99 sport I can sell if you want 'em. Only issue is they don't have the mounting brackets or rails 'cuz I did the ZJ swap on mine. You should still be able to use them though and just modify your current brackets to work with them.

You say there is a bunch by you? Anyway you can get a bottom seat pan and send it up my way? I read in the tips section where you can just put your upholstry on another seat bottom.
