I think it must just be where you live. Over here in Idaho there are gobs of them, particularly white ones...
Also, I have a 91 parts Cherokee but I drive an 87. As I have been dismantling the 91 to salvage one part or another I have noticed things you all might like to know.
First, it has a mechanical speedometer. Second, all of the wiring is identical (except for the plug for the cruise control) between both years but the keys are a different style. I switched the 91 column into my 87 and everything except for the cruise control works fine, but my cruise control didn't work in the first place so I don't really care about that bit.
I know it isn't much but I hope it helps someone

Correction - the floor was redone in 95 and carried through to 01. 84-94 XJ's can swap seats with each other as well as MJ's. 95-01's can swap seats with XJ's in those same years as well as 93-98 ZJ's.
Minimal.
I'm sure that seats will swap 1984-1996 and 1997-2001, and will probably swap across that line as well.

they made some changes the floor plan in the 97+ cherokees and the seats will not swap across the line as you call it. yes with some fabrication, but that statement is misleading. sounds like a direct bolt in, but its def not.

You can do it. You just need the speed sensor off of the 91/92 Wrangler. It has both a cable connection and the electronic one. Autozone Part Number: SU3008 Then just wire it up.

This is all fascinating info!
I've got a question, seeing as I've got a 96 and the exhaust manifold has cracked (between where the two branches of three join together) is there a better stock manifold out there that will fit? Also, while I'm there, should I be looking to swap out the inlet manifold for a "better" one at the same time?
Thanks

Thank you - both! - for that.
Just because I'm researching this sort of thing doesn't mean I always get it right without my notes...
