Default 2000 vs 2001 WJ Seats

I have a 2001 4.0 WJ but have just also got a 2000 4.7 WJ. They are both Limited specs and feature all the same toys etc.

The seats are slightly different pattern but my main concern is the seat in the 2000 model does not go down as low as in my 2001.

Did they modify the seats for the 2001 model year?

I am 6'7" and I simply don't fit in the 2000 (although have loads of room in the 2001).

Any info appreciated.

Does adjusting the steering wheel tilt help at all? My base model 2000 Laredo just has slider seats (not power). I'm only 5 ft 7 and I have it almost all the way back. I'll bet they did change them for 2001.

I parked them side-by-side today and checked. The seats are revised in the 2001 (better leather, different style and higher headrests etc), but I noticed one thing, the rear height adjusting motor in the 2000 isn't working (clicks but does nothing), so I think I just have a dead or jammed motor.

Another job to do!!!
