Airbag question.
I was wondering if all years of the xj came with airbags? I think some didn't, but can't seem to find this info anywhere.
Another question would be, could I swap seats from my 98 into my 91? The drivers seat. Thanks. |
Nevermind, I've found the answer. Although I must say the older cherokees must be pretty dangerous without airbags.
|
Actually, they are surprisingly tough. I can think of worse cars to drive.
|
Yeah so could I. My 91 has no airbags and my mom and dad are just scared for my life. But I drive as slow as a tank so, not much to worry about.
|
I took out 30 feet of guardrail and rolled into a ditch with my 85, and it still drove straight afterwards
|
You weren't hurt at all? That sounds like a pretty dangerous situation.
|
Nope, just hung on to the steering wheel and rode it out. I could have driven it 600 miles home except for a hole in the radiator. I did take it up to 65 mph for one mile stints.
|
I love the steering wheel in my non airbag 93. I wouldnt want some fat rubber wheel with a bag in the middle.
I have been in several crashes with friends and never once had an airbag deploy even if they were there. |
That brings up a good point. Airbags are great for head on crashes, but in roll overs like I was in, they are worthless I wouldn't have been able to hang on to the steering wheel and avoid all injuries.
|
Airbags suck, I always disable them. Had a friend live through a head on, as they were cutting him out, airbag deployed and broke his neck. Yeah admittedly, it was a defective bag, but how do you test such a thing. As for the original question about seats, I just put 97 seats (when they redesigned the interior) in my 96 and they fit like a glove.
|
Yeah I swear the steering wheel in my 91 is way better than my fat *** one in my 98.
As for the seats, mine are power which I hear happened in the early 90's I think? I'm hoping to take a trip to the jy and find me a 90-96 to swap in a drivers seat and a new passenger bench for the back. |
Power seats go back into the 80's. I had some in my 85 Laredo
|
You know if all models have power seats or just some? I'd imagine it would be the more expensive at the time they were built for the option. I don't need a power seat but just want to get a look at my options.
|
It seems to be an option in the Laredo and Limited. I have an 86 Laredo now and it doesn't have power seats.
