I have a chance to buy a pair of leather seats from a ZJ for a good price. Will they bolt into my WJ or are the mounts different? Also, they are power and mine aren't. Are the wiring connectors there under the carpet?

 

Gee, I thought someone would have an opinion, even to call me an idiot.

 

I'm pretty sure they will bolt in.

 

Thanks for the response, Busted. I was pretty sure they wouldn't have changed something as simple as that, but with Mopar, you never know. What I can't figure out is my seats are manual adjusters but there's big plastic boxes under them like they're covering an electric mechanism. I can't store anything under the seats because of this.

My main problem with the WJ seats is the thigh bolsters. On long trips or bouncing around off-road, they pinch the nerves in my hip. I never had this problem with my ZJ because the seats were flat. Yes, I've got a big ***. When discussing this with a friend, he told me he knew of a pair of ZJ leather seats I could have for a good price. I'd even run my own power leads. Does $50 each sound reasonable?

 

The leads are most likely already there or tucked away under the carpet someplace.

 

50 bucks is great i just bought new tracks for my zj for 120 with no seat attached

 

Well, the story is they've been sitting in this guy's barn since he rolled his 5.2 ZJ and parted it out. I haven't seen them yet, so what condition they're in I have no idea, nor do I know what color they are, not that that is a major problem. It this point I need ZJ seats because they don't have kidney or thigh supports. This is the ONLY thing I really don't like about my WJ.

Last night we got 12" of heavy wet snow when the temp was around 30*, then the front moved thru and we had a flash freeze down to 7*. Except for my wipers freezing up because I had my window open, the Jeep performed flawlessly. Bouncing around in that stuff was like rock crawling. The nerve in my hip spasmed very painfully before I was finished with my route, even while sitting on a cushion. I've done the same thing for 2 years with my ZJ without problems. Maybe it's just my age getting to me, IDK but I'd like to try ZJ seats. Even boneyard ones.

I've been delivering newspapers for over 20 years. Maybe it's time I quit. Nobody wants an old toolmaker either.
