Impossible to get in the back unless you do this https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/zj...ication-45615/ . I would suggest finding a better way to mount the seats to the floor because the way I did it is not the best. With the instructions in there the seats are only a tiny bit more difficult to get in the back but not that hard. The other thing is I think you lose about an inch of legroom in the back of the seat because of its thickness.
Slowly but surely. I have a lot of stuff to pay for in august so probably no progress until september.

 

Thanks for the info. Mines a 96. Im pretty sure the grand cherokee seats bolt to my brackets with no mods so that will be easy. I was also toying with the idea of making the back seats work in a cherokee.

 

You are right. Also I have heard that the back seat fits but you have to drill mounting holes.

 

NICE BUILD!!!!!!!!!! I love the work you have done.

 

So here is the deal. I havent been on much lately and you guys know that. I decided to update a little bit and tell you all that I am gearing up for a lift. Right now I have some s10 leaf springs and Cougar v6 strut assemblies waiting to be modified to fit on the jeep. This SHOULD net about 4 inches enough to clear 31s. If you want to follow my build I have started a blog about it here.

I am planning on doing a TC drop, shocks, extended brake lines, and some other crap by December.

 

look we have twins lol

 

i like this simple build!

 

Well I got it lifted 4 inches. I used cougar springs in the front and s10 bastard packs in the rear. Got shocks from a 07 wrangler for free and payed 60 bucks for breaklines and the overall cost was 170.


Check my blog for writeups and stuff. The link is in my sig.

 

I don't suppose that you can take a picture of your fusebox diagram for us? I dont have a cover to my box and have no idea where to locate the fuse purpose.

 

what year couger springs...how do they ride?

 

I have never seen an XJ with a fuseblock cover. Anyway, I will grab a pic for you although its the same as my dads 90 so the fuses should be similar any 87-96 cherokee.

As for the springs mine were out of a 92. I think 89-97 had the same springs in the v6?? Maybe. They ride fantastic on the road. Havent done too much offroad yet. I have a bit of DW I am dealing with right now. I believe its one of my TRE's so I am changing those first.

 

Thats what it should look like with new shoes.

The PDC
The Relays
And the fuse panel.

 

I really wanted to build a 2door and I also wanted a 5spd .Got the 5spd but w 4doors

 

I like the 2 door and I love the 5 spd in mine. Honestly though 2 vs 4 doors I dont care. I drove my dads 4 door for a while and it really has much better accesibilty. Since its mostly just me that drives in it I dont care too much.

 

I put grand seats in my old 2 door I have, just swap the outer hinge with the reclining mech and cut a small hole in the back of the seat cover for the release and they worked just fine, even the easy entry on the passanger seat worked.
