I'm still looking for a nice pair of leather seats for my '91 Grand Wagoneer... would like lumbar support and heat... but comfortable is the highest priority. I think everyone has different ideas about what is comfortable... so far my wife and I both agree that the Grand Cherokee WJ (1999-2004) seats are by far the best... I've got a set of old gray cloth ones from our '99 that are 1/2 way in, and I'm not unhappy with them, except that they're a little tall... but since I'm a little short, it works out. :) It'll be interesting to see how that works out with my wife who is not short. :) So, what are the most comfortable seats you've ever experienced? and then I wonder if they'll fit... :) thanx, john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com ** http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/ ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #2762 **********************************
