What year seats fit my `90 XJ Laredo ?
Have a local JY that has several Cherokees from `88 all the way to upper `90`s Two are listed as `90
They have some GC`s too.
I fixed my broken seat bottom (`90 Cherokee Laredo) by swapping out the passenger side for the driver`s side. But now I have no passenger seat bottom ! (no seat right now).
Fabric is fine so I either need a new bottom to put my fabric on or an outright seat bottom match (gray)
The Laredo seats have higher bolsters and are nicer than the lower trim levels , so I would like it to match.
Would a seat bottom from say a `91 or `93 bolt to my seat rails ?
A `95 ?
I have not gone to see the Cherokees yet but want to be prepared.
If I find a matching set of good GC seats would they bolt right in.
Would a set of matching good XJ seats from a newer model bolt right in or at least bolt to my seat rails ?
I am willing to just get a seat bottom as the backrest is fine or go all the way and get two new seats from a junker.
Even just a seat bottom and swap over my existing seat fabric.
Any ideas ?

I found this expert that says...
Seat Failure
Weak link: Front seats
Models affected: All
What happens: XJ front seats use a stamped metal framework that is spot-welded together. Occasionally these spot welds will break. The result is that the seat will often lean rearward and crooked.
Strong fix: One option is to hit the salvage yard and procure a pair of seats from a comparable XJ. Dan McKeag at Burnsville Off Road says that a better option is to install a pair of seats from a '99-'04 Grand Cherokee. These seats are way more comfortable because they are contoured and of better quality overall. They will bolt directly to the XJ seat tracks.
Contact: Burnsville Off Road
Does this mean the bolt pattern (for `99-`04 GC) is the same as mine where the seat cushion bolts to the track for any year XJ ?
I understand track to floor changes in `95 but do the seat cushions from `95 and newer XJ bolt to my existing tracks ?
Found a post on here that states tracks changed at floor AND seat...will take my seat track with me to compare.
