Hey guys...
I scored these front seats out of the local junkyard and am a little confused. The Jeep was a 1997 GC (see pic) and I just couldn't pass up the seats because they are as close to "perfect" as I've ever seen used jeep leather. Plus they look super comfy compared to my XJ seats..
Any way... I have two questions.
1- Does anyone recognize these as a factory seat. I ask because these two were up front and are obviously leather (and power) while the rear seat was the same color but cloth??? Is that normal??
2- How would one tell if the seats are heated versus just being power adjust? I'd have to look to confirm but IIRC there were only two wires running to the seats so I don't see any way they are heated....unless I'm missing something obvious or mis remembered how many wires there are.
Help and thoughts???
Thanks!

Hey man it looks like a leather swap from an older Grand Cherokee (like a 93 maybe?). I am unsure if they came heated or not though. Goodluck.
PS - Thanks again for helping me out in finding some leather seats on CL. Hopefully find the GC leather seats I'm looking for soon. Damn Jeeps lol.

You're welcome brotha! Wish I could have found the ones that were the right shade. I've actually been wondering if these could be died by an upholstery shop...?
I've seen a few sets of the darker on here and around in general but they are either shot out or expensive. I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya though.

I found some in NC and so tempted to make the 10 hour round trip. I think I have a leather seat obsession problem.

Thanks for the intel! Are these known as "comfy" as the pillow name suggests?Originally Posted by OverlandZJ
Those are ZJ "pillowtops" which were only available on the 93-95 models.. and were unheated.
