Husky security console insert for XJs that already have a full length console. Mine. Comes with 2 cup holders for the rear. Pros: Adds room, security & true arm rest, plus 2 cup holders. Con: impedes folding the rear seat forward.
Edit: But you can remove the rear cup holders. I did.

Man I like your seats, how do I get some of those? I'm interested in the center console also but I don't have one yet. Coach

Those are the stock leather/power seats for the older Limited model XJs. Mine's a '92 Limited. They're very comfortable seats. The Pioneer seats from '86/'87 & older weren't too bad either, but these are better. I never did understand why people were wanted ZJ seats when XJ offered seats like mine. But then I saw/sat in some Sport seats. Nuff said ...

'91 Limited, I love my leather seats. Last winter, my dog was injured. Bleeding badly all over the place. I scooped her up, laid her on the back seat, For a 15 min. drive to the vet. (through 6" of fresh snow) Blood just covered the rear seat. (you see less blood gutting a deer) To my surprise, it all washed off. And they still look good.Attachment 26622

Attachment 26623 Sorry for thread jacking.

There are/were some on ebay. A guy on one of my other forums was asking earlier this week whether seats on sale were really XJ seats. The ebay pic he showed was of seats just like ours. There's another vendor on ebay that sells a lot of XJ stuff too. Alljeepparts I think his name is. I could check for you if you would like.

You should look for Limited seats from a '97 & newer XJ. I've seen the Limited seats for the newer ones like yours and they only have minor differences, but overall very similar to mine. They look luxurious! I like them. The mounting brackets should be the same as yours. To use one from my year ('84-'96) you would have to mod your seat mounts.

I would imagine that shipping on seats would be horrendous!! I tried to check junkyards online but that didn't work out too well. I definately want those seats! I'll just have to keep looking. Thanks. Coach

Hey, when I move to Montana I could throw a pair on the trailer for ya!

Seriously tho, shipping would be pretty high. Just keep trolling the junk yards. Your best bet.

How far are you from Illinois? Click. Or Indiana? click. Ohio - oh look okuma111, these seats are from a 99-01 Sport! Might be what you need! I thought only the Limiteds had the good seats. click.

You can look into ZJ seats. I have a set of '94 Limited ZJ leather front seats in my '99 Cherokee. They are much more comfortable than even the Classic seats.

I got mine from a JY for $100.

He did say "without any mods". From what I've read, modifications are needed for ZJ seats. The mounts are different. I could be wrong ...

Here's a site that has OEM Mopar - Jeep Parts catalogs. For 1984 to 2000 in PDF format. I know there where several styles offered. (High back, Low back, etc.) And I believe a lot years where interchangeable. Not that I would order any. But it give you an idea. By-sides parts list for OEM parts, for your yr. is kinda handy. Has exploded views of areas. (IE. body, grill, doors, hatch, susp.,etc ) http://www.xjjeeps.com/tech_referenc...section=2&ID=0
