Im considering swapping my front seats; mainly the passenger side. I’ve read the ZJ/WJ seats are supposed to fit, but i’d like to find another option.
Coming from the Volvo xc70 platform cars, i’d like to try swapping a pair of them in. With these seats, i get the option to fold flat (main reason i want to swap). I would also get power, heat, and side airbags (most likely useless). And a much more comfortable seat with heavier side bolsters. Leg room under the steering wheel should improve in theory and i should be able to get more rearward movement.
Can anyone verify the factory seat dimensions? Are there power passenger seats in the XJ platform or from another jeep that i can maybe source at the boneyard to match up?
If it works out, it may be worth looking into a rear seat swap to match from another Volvo (this nets more comfortable seats again, potential rear seat heaters, and built in seat belts plus folding headrests)
