Default Newer TJ seats in an 98+ Xj possible?

Has anyone been able to install newer TJ seats into the 98+ Cherokees? The brackets don't line up so i wanted to see if it is even possible. These are the seats im referring to.




Thanks in advance for the help.

You could drop those in. Just bend the front feet to work with the hump in the floor. You may have to drill new holes but, hey its worth it. Did it to my 89 (not those seats) don't regret it a bit.

You could use tj brackets. But if you can make the xjs work that'll make it easier. I don't know if xj brackets will work. I've never put them side by side

wish they did, but the mounting holes are no where near each other.

Thanks, MUD
