Default seats...I need seats!

Got a 91 XJ....seats are broke down and kill my back. My 05 Liberty's seats are comfy and never hurt me. Should I try the junk yard? Get some corbeau seats? Liberty seats? Please help.

haha i broke my seats in my old 91, luckily we have local jeep guru's who found a donor vehicle

junkyard is best

even if you can find a jeep for 500 dollars

you can get the good parts out and sell the rest, people always need jeep part

ZJ/WJ seats will NOT be a direct bolt in for a 91. They are for 94+ XJ's. Check the write up section on here and you can see how to make the ZJ/WJ swap work for your 91. Takes a little fab work, but nothing too bad. The easiest option would be to find another set from a 84-93 XJ in a JY.

Could, but with a seat, I'd want as much strength as possible. Besides, the mounting brackets for the ZJ/WJ seats and the 95+ XJ seats are VERY different from the 84-93 XJ ones.
