Figured I'd toss this out there as I'm starting my seat swap soon. I'm curious as to who all has swapped their factory seats for some other make/ model and how they like em.
I don't have pics of mine yet but they are on a cart waiting for my back to let me install them. Found them in an '05 Honda (civic I think) here in the junkyard. Black heated leather...owww! I put a quick tape measure on it and the dimensions look pretty good. About 21 1/2 at the widest of the bottom cushion. I'll need to fab brackets or adapters to make em work and figure out the wiring for the heating but I like the idea and these seem pretty nice. Nothing wrong with my stock seats, I just don't find them very comfortable. *shrugs*
So feel free to post up what your butts hanging out in!

Ebay racing seats, think they say R1 on them. Cheap but get the job done.

Same Running Plush Grand Cherokee Leather Seats. The leather seats sit lower so I have more head room. No Power hooked up though.

Default still stock seat

couldn't stand the position the stock seats put me in, my last cherokee had an extra mechanism to slide the seat on a pivoting angle so there was support for my upper legs but they won't fit in this cherokee cause of different bolt patterns, so i made a plate till i adapt the seats or find other seats, I like the idea of the power seats
