[@theresealdgard8352]

Dan, I love all your videos and wanted to do exactly this! After looking for leather seats like yours for more then a year ( I'm in Brooklyn, NY and they are rare in my hood ) I finally found them not too many hours drive away. The seats I got was in great shape and had already been converted to XJ brackets. I thought that was awesome, but later I found out the back recliner was still electric . I was stupid enough not to check that part before buying the seats. That said I ended up with WJ seats on XJ brackets but still WJ electronically recliner for the back part of the seat. But no electrical wiring left at all. After doing tons of googling reserch I realized it might just be worth to try to swap to mechanical for the back part as well. I found the mechanical recliner on eBay for the seats and they fit. The seats even have hidden connections to fit both electrical and mechanical! So for all you who does not want to deal with the complicaded electric part like me. This is a great option. Even the old XJ seat trim panel fits after the swap. :)

[@ProjectDanH]

That is fantastic work! Excellent Job! Yes you may have been able to just tap power and ground to your recliner but I like what you did better. I think you can see both the manual and power bracket holes in the frame when I did my WJ seat fix. Thanks for watching! God bless!

[@15farcry]

You truly have tons of experience with these XJs. I literally LOLed to myself at 16:34 when you called it the infamous seat bolt. No matter the steps i took, both mine twisted off. LOL

[@ProjectDanH]

Yea.. Its Legit!

[@chrismcca]

Dan as always you got me out of a Jam! My XJ seats would only partially move up down but no back and fourth which I figured was the motors, but seeing you take apart switches etc gave me the courage to fully dismantle the seat switches, scrub the little copper contacts inside all the mechanism that look like a little maze game and then the plug pins for good measure. Plenty of electrical contact cleaner used too hahaha. Stuck it all back together and hey presto I finally have a fully moving drivers seat! This is why I watch all of your videos as they come out, there's always little nuggets that could be a video in themselves hidden in each :) .

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks a lot brother I really appreciate it! All these little nuggets I've been learning from years of tinkering with Jeeps. I'm glad I can pass the knowledge on 🤙

Put power seats in my XJ using your vid. Had to replace the worm gear (available by itself) Added heated seats with the controller in what used to be the ashtray. Used the seat motor power. It has a 45 amp fuse in addition to the 10 amp fuse that came with the heaters. Just never use them at the same time, witch is very rare. Thx

[@ryanegsi]

[@chad_is_here]

[@ProjectDanH]

[@nixonmatignas7506]

Project Dan H are you planning on selling the extra set you have?

[@dobbse.261]

[@ProjectDanH]

[@matthewjenkins2369]

What are the seats out of? Where did you get them?

[@matthewjenkins2369]

I see it. 2001 XJ Limited

[@ProjectDanH]

[@ruzbehmusic]

[@ProjectDanH]

[@ayayron7776]

Wow

[@ProjectDanH]

I just had the same comment from a Hingle McCringleberry 🤣

[@ashleyperezperez8377]

Where i can found those seats

[@ProjectDanH]

Gotta find a 2001 XJ limited being parted out

[@giggetgnomed6231]

Why tho… I get power windows and like locks but why seats?

[@addisonbrady8737]

Dan, I have a 99 xj with manual seats. I have an opportunity to buy some leather wj powered seats. Do I have to find a set of xj powered seat frames to make this work? Can I set the seat position with a battery pack and just bolt them right up? Or, Should I punt on this and try to find some manual wj seats. Would you recommend trying this seat swap? I really need your advice, supposed to meet the seller later today and not sure if this is a good idea. Thanks

[@ProjectDanH]

I would definitely get the WJ seats and bolt them onto your XJ frames.. you can always upgrade to XJ power frames whenever they become available. 👍

[@addisonbrady8737]

@@ProjectDanH thanks very much

[@omnislash6619]

Leather power seats were from another XJ??????

[@ProjectDanH]
