ok they will fit, butttttt you need to modify the seat track to fit in the seat track area of your xj. have you looked at your xj seat area without a seat in it? its pretty narrow.
and to answer this simply, you and put any seat in an xj, its how much work do you want to do to get it in there?

Hey guys I got another question to add to this. I assume we are talking about front ZJ seats in a Cherokee. Does anybody know if rear ZJ seats fit in a Cherokee without to much intense modding? The reason I ask this is because rear ZJ seats are split in half well not half but 2 seats. I wanted to put a single seat in the rear of my Cherokee so I can still have 3 seats.... "sometimes I have a few people that come wheelin with me". I have plans for the other half.

yes you can make them fit butttttt they are about 1 inch wider and they dont lay down flat they have a little hump to them when they are forward so with some serious modding im sure you could get them to work but if not and just a little modding they will go in.

oh and before anyone just jumps on takin my word for it, i have not done this mod, i have only read and read and read on it, this forum and many others, so bring a measuring tape and some measurements with you to get your seats.

Ok i have one more thing to ask you know in some of the four doors they have those nice bucket style with the side bolstering but the seat frames are the same right and you could just switch out the the recliner mechanism.

You're telling me that ZJ and WJ seats are a direct swap in a 96 XJ? And, with a bit of rubbing and limited movement, the rear of a ZJ would fit too? What year ZJ stuff fits in 96 XJ? That would be beautiful. Oh, please fel free to PM me with your research if you like. It may save you a lot of questions from me.
