Grand Cherokee leather heated seats.

 

I love my corbeaus (even though I just got them in yesterday) they are lightyears ahead of my stock seats. I have the baja ss ones but if you want a more stock look then check out their moab seats. Basically an OEM seat with higher bolstering and really nice padding. They also offer heated seat kits. Not to mention there will be no fab work on your part. Its just a bolt up and go. I have pics in my build thread of mine. Or check out their website for a Jeep builder thing that lets you see what all the seat combos look like in a Jeep.

 

Here are my seats, they are out of a 97 grand cherokee, direct bolt in just use tj seat slider bracket and $25 a seat at local u pull it.

are you serious? do they bolt directly to the TJ mounting brackets? This might just solve my year long seating problem.

 

Not sure about your budget or if/how they will fit, but I sat in the new JK leather seats as the Chicago Auto Show and they are VERY comfortable. I would love to have a pair in my TJ! I am 6'2" and 225 lbs and they fit me like a glove. Soft AND supportive.

 

I would be VERY interested in something like this.

Does anyone know if the WJ (GC 99-04) seats will fir just the same as the ZJ seats do?

My buddy has a nice set of black leather ones and if they can fit...PARTY --- > :2thumbsup: :cheers: :tea: :thumbsup:

lol

 

Im actually in the market for new seats. I might have to go pick up some ZJ seats now. Thanks for the tip.

 

I replaced the beat up seats in my 97 Sport with newer TJ Sahara seats and I loved them. Picked up the set from Davey's Jeeps in Ohio for just over a hundred bucks.

 

i picked up some 04 rubi wrangler seats for $175, sold my old ones to a YJ guy for $100, so $75 to put rubi wrangler seats in place of my exhausted 180k+ seats

 

Someone on here actually installed Mazda RX-8 seats into his Jeep. There was some work done to make it all come together but the final result was good.

 

From the WJ/ZJ tech forum (answering the question of whether WJ seats will fit a ZJ)....

i just did this swap guys,

i can confirm that the fronts do fit, but for ME, on the drivers side, one of the brackets was off by about a quarter inch, not a big deal though.

the seats just need a +12v and a ground, very easy wiring....

So by the Transitive Property of Seat Fit, the answer is yes, with a minor adjustment.

 

Thanks for the info but this is a thread on what will fit in a TJ. Let's stay on topic.

 

if zj seats fit in a tj, and wj seats fit in a zj, wont wj seats fit in a TJ? this was his point, so he was on topic!!

 

Yes wj seats do fit here is a thread for the install http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/jeep-wj-99-04-grand-cherokee-seats-tj-502230/

 

'06 Seats in a '97

Hi There,

Been following this thread with interest. I was wondering if anyone has swapped the newer high back seats from a '05 or '06 Wrangler into a '97 Wrangler. I rode in a friends '05 Wrangler over the weekend and liked the seats much better, so would be keen to put a set in my TJ.

Would these be a direct bolt in swap?

Yep, I helped a friend swap '05 seats into his '98 TJ, direct bolt. They are taller and with the seat risers he put in they are really, really tall, as in barely hit the roll bar. The height also restricts rear vision somewhat, something to get used to. They are more comfortable tho.

As to other seats, I was looking for comfort, support, high sides, using a harness. Ended up with PRP's but did a lot of looking before that. My short list included seats from Dodge Neon SRT, Jetta, Eclipse, WRX, GSX-r and several others. They key was seat bottom width and no controls on the inside of the seat and all of these, and more, fit the criteria. Lots of time with a tape measure in the junk yard

Another option is the Ford Ranger 60/40, a friend has that seat from a Ranger Extended Cab (, very comfy and they still recline...), Ford Explorer seats also fit fairly easily.

Of course anything is possible with enough fabrication...

 

How "water resistant" are the leather seats? I'd love to do this, including heated seats, but I'm usually doorless during the Summer. Although I try to keep it out of the rain, there are times that my seats will get wet. How bad will that hurt leather seats?

 

Cows get wet all the time. More important is how hot are they going to be? Answer.... If they're black and the sun is out they will blister the crap out of you... Plus you will sweat like nobody's business. Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it. Granted if you leave the top up they will be better than if you are topless, but they will still be hot regardless.

 

Def agree, just the thought of sitting on leather seats that have been baking in the sun...YIKES! :bacon:

 

Thanks for all the info

Great thread I have been wondering about this for a while...:2thumbsup:

 

ZJ Seats

I just picked up the front seats from a really nice 98 ZJ Larado that is scheduled to be crushed tomorrow under CFC. They will be going in my TJ as soon as I get it out of storage. Thanks for the great tip. Like I said earlier in this thread I have been dealing with the cracked and broken vinyl seats for the longest time. NO MORE!

 

I just picked up a set of 93 GC seats but they don't have the seatbelt thing built into it. Do I need to mod something up?

 

no you don't. You will reuse the TJ seat brackets.

 

I've always wanted to swap in a Willy's edition TJ seats into my LJ. I love the camo on those seats

 

I love them too Thats why I'm swapping the seats cause I don't want to ruin my camo seats. I run my jeep without a top most of the year and that Texas sun can ruin a set of seats pretty quick. I may get the GC seats recovered in camo later on :rofl:
