All you will need are the ZJ seats, no brackets. Re-use the XJ brackets/sliders.

That looks comfy! I'm going to look for some of those. I'm driving my xj from Texas to California and back right after Christmas.

FYI WJ seats fit the same way and are easier to find in good shape. I used them in mine. Fronts are easy the rears take a lil fab and patience.

The reason I posted that is because the ZJ or wJ seats don't just bolt right into 96 and earlier XJs.

I've been considering the seat swap as well, but I've been looking around and cant find an answer, can I hook up ZJ seats to my factory heated seat switch in a 2000 XJ? I know almost everything else can bolt/plug in and go, but I know theres a factory "heated seat module" and I'm not sure if its compatible
