Me and a good XJ friend ventured forth to the junk yard today and got the front seats from a 1990 XJ Laredo Two Door to put in my Four Door XJ. Same upholstery fabric as in my 1990 Four Door Laredo. These seats from a Two Door fold forward, not so with Four Door seats..
This will give me more space length wise to sleep in my jeep when I move the new seats full forward and seat back folded forward. The folded seat will be a good place to place my pillow. With the stock seat, even slid full forward, I only have a few inches between the seat back and my head, when my feet are at the rear hatch. This is because the front seat in the four door XJs do not fold.
Been searching for a while, Two Door XJs are not near as great in number as the Four Door. Much less finding an early body style XJ is difficult enough at the wrecker.
Condition wise the new passenger seat is ok looking after some cleaning, drivers upholstery is torn, but my old seat upholstery should fit on the new Two Door seats just fine. Only mods needed for the upolstery swap are cutting some material to fit the lock lever and latch.
I am very very happy today, been searching a long time.
Maybe someone can help me find a trim part for the new seats....
On the new seats, the plastic trim surrounding the seat back tilt lock release is missing or cracked. Does anyone know of a seller for these trim pieces, perhaps called a bezel, or lever surround?
Happy Days!
