Okay guys so I picked up a nice set of power leather WJ seats, and I've heard theres two options - swap on a power xj base... or mod the wj brackets to fit.
After no luck searching modded WJ brackets I just wonder if anyone in fab has come up with any options to install or has some pics of seats installed with WJ power base brackets.I know this usually raises the height and inch or so, but no big deal here. Install is into a 98 Cherokee Classic w/ stock non powered brackets.

 

power seats are gross , just another part to break on the trail. But if you wanted to really do itheres my suggestion.


lets start with a story.... previous owner was a fat guy about 6'5'' and decided it would be a great idea to jump into one of the seats on my xj therefor breaking two of the bolts that holds the brackets to the floor. So when i got it home i grabbed my trusty ole drill and drilled out the studs straight through the floor. I then got four new bolts and ran them up through my floor panel (bolt, washer,floor,washer, seat bracket, locking nut) therefore saving the day and everyone was a happy camper at the end of the day.

so i havent seen the wj brackets but toss the seats in the jeep mark your holes, and use #8 hardware to secure it down. while doing this you need to drink plenty of beer and accept the fact the dirt might get in your eyes while your under the jeep.

i can take pictures if need be

 

You don't need grade 8 bolts for seats. Body bolts aren't even grade 8.

 

actually last time I was at ACE (the helpful place) grade 8 was cheaper than some of the grade 5
so why not
