Xj seat swap
so I currently have a 99 limited xj with factory power leather seats non heated. The driver seat has seen better days and I want to swap it out. I’m considering swapping the driver and passenger at the same time and from what I’ve found tj, zj, and wj seats bolt right up to the existing xj seat brackets. My question is this, I have factory power seats meaning there’s a plug there. Will any of the zj or wj seats hook right up to the existing plug? Most write ups I see of people doing the swaps are on manual seat xj’s so they have to wire everything up. But I haven’t found one from a factory power seat xj to a power seat wj or zj

I don't think the base out of the wj or zj will fit the xj . so I think the seats need to be bolted to the xj base . I've never done this change but I believe there are write ups on this .

Have you completed this project? I have a '98 XJ Limited with a power driver's seat and hammered leather, so I have been looking in to the same swap. I basically asked the same question and have received no responses as of yet.
