hey everyone, I picked up an 88 cherokee with no back seat and would like to put one in it. I checked with the dealership and they said its discontinued so I am thinking pull a part or aftermarket are my options. With that being said are there any year differences with the rear seats that I need to watch out for? Also has anyone fabbed up mounts for an aftermarket bench like corbeau or mastercraft? Thanks a lot for any help

I think you need one out of 84-96 Cherokee. I don't know if they changed with the 97+'s new body style. I don't think there is aftermarket support for the rear. A junkyard is gonna be the best bet or a local part out. Rear seats are usually in really good shape. 2 door might even have seats in best shape.

I have the seat out of a '96 in my '98. No issue bolting them in the rear.

You can also bolt a CJ, YJ or TJ seat in there. Move it as far back as you need for legroom.

A good JY will sell the rear XJ seat for less than $40.

I knew someone would have tried the swap. Good stuff. If I remember right, the rear seat is held in with Torx bolts. If so, replace them with regular bolts.

Personally I wouldn't wanna pay more than $20 or $25 for a back seat. Mine is usually folded anyway.

Thanks for the replies I didnt know the YJ TJ or CJ seats would bolt in.

I think i remember reading a zj front and rear swap on here before,If you want comfy leather seats those would be good.

All of my seats were free. That is one of the benefits of being in a local club.

The CJ, YJ, & TJ seat are not a direct bolt in. The ZJ fronts are but the rear takes some massaging.
