Jeep seats

I doubt it. But if you can get the seats from an XJ Limited, they are VERY comfortable. Only thing is if you don't already have power seats they won't mount into yours without some fab work or cutting.
My information involves the pre- '96 seats. Can't speak to newer ones, sorry.

XJ power seats mount to 4 permanent bolts that come up from the floor. As far as I know, the non-power seats need a raised bracket in order to be mounted. So to mount power seats in an XJ that didn't originally have them, you might have to cut your bracket out & find a way to weld 4 bolts thru your floor, or modify the seat bracket to fit your floor. Without seeing a non-power seat base I can't be more specific. Maybe someone else can chime in.
My own power seat motors were damaged in the flood & I'm considering using non-power seat bases to replace mine ... but this way around I think the work is beyond my capabilities.
There are guys who have put ZJ seats in an XJ with some fab work. That might be your best bet like someone said before ... can't say how much work is involved tho. But I can def vouch for the comfort of my own XJ seats.

ZJ seats are very easy to install into and XJ. I did it a few years back to an XJ after having a ZJ. The seats are much more comfortable and supportive laterally . The ONLY bad thing i'd have to say about it is that theres less head room since the ZJ seats are fatter.
Not sure if it was here or NAXJA, but there is a very good write-up how to. Highly recommended.
