So after I had a crazy day at work where nothing was going right for me, I felt that I shouldn't waste the night and try and get something accomplished. So I began on installing my new ZJ leather seats. They are really easy to install on 95+ Jeep Cherokee's. If you want to use your jeep cherokee base, just unbolt the seats and the ZJ seats are a direct bolt in. The only thing I have to do is figure out a way to install the power option on the seats I have. I know I am going to need help on that one. Luckily the seats were already set in a good position for now.
Before:

After:

Let me tell you, what a comfortability difference. They feel great. I plan on getting seat covers. I knew the seats dont match perfect. In the pics online for sale they looked a lot closer, but they are still hard enough for me to come by so I'll make due. I still have to do the rear seats and for that I'll do a complete write up. I can wait to have a split rear seat to fold down. That will be real nice.
Then I also decided to finally install a gear box in back. I picked it up about a month or so ago for a good deal. I knew it wasn't 100% made for the XJ but I knew it would do the job. Got that installed. Now I wont have to strap down a tool box that doesn't hold the fluids like I want anyway. This box also locks!

What exactly was the intention with that statement?
I made a comment on how great Jake's seats turned out, then followed with a question about the modification to show interest in the work. As stated, I have not looked into the ZJ seat upgrade, nor do I intend to.
Sorry for mucking up your thread, Jake.

As to the question on the rear seats. They do fit, they just need some modification to make them fit nice. I believe someone or a few have real nice write-ups on here about it. I plan on doing one as well.
