I have a set of leather seats from a ford and would love to put them in my kj. Done a Google search and turned up nothing.

Custom brackets will likely be in order.
Also not sure if your power seat clip will fit the new seats if they have power.

Why not look at wet okole.
Less than half the price of katzkin.
I'm eyeing some wet okoles with the lumbar support and heated option.

Did you had leather seats before you put in KK seats?

It doesn't matter. The seat frame is the same

Hmm...I didn't know KK seats would fit in the KJ. I wonder if I could get the heated seats to work...

Yes KK seats fit in the KJ. Actually like them better than the KJ seats. I personally have KK seats in my 02. Another member has them in his 05.

Just the front? or do the rears fit as well?

Thanks

Safe to assume Nitro front seats would also work?

I have Corbeau Sport Seats in mine. They sell a bracket set you have to use as well. They fit nicely, I got neoprene upholstery and reupholstered my headliner, visors, doors and steering wheel cover all to match.

I had troubles with the seat back mechanism twice, but Corbeau was a dream to work with. Even though they were out of warranty they FedEx'ed me a new mechanism the first time, and a brand new SET of seats when it broke again a year later. That had been a few years ago and I've had no trouble since.

Are the late model KK seats more comfortable than the KJ?
I'd be happy with better cloth seats if the price was right.
I've got the basic seats on my 06 Sport. Not the best on long drives...

About 6 years ago helped a friend install a set in his, nice comfortable seats for sure

Some are, I've sat in some KKs though that felt rock hard, not sure why but uncomfortable
Installed a set of 03 leather seats in my 03 build and they are very comfortable compared to the regular sport seats

Like tom said. Some KK seats are hard, some like mine are very comfortable. Plus if your tall, the KK seats seem to give you a few inches of head room

JeepMorrison,
Which seats year and trim level did your KK donor seats come from? Are they leather?

Mine a cloth. I dont know what they came out of. Honestly I was grabbing parts off serveral KJs and KKs that day.

The passenger side seat folds flat if that helps.

Wonder if the heat and power connectors would line up...?

I put a set of leather, heated, powered seats from an '02 in my '03 and they're definitely better than the OEM Renegade seats the KJ came with. But had back surgery in November and wondering if I can find a set of front seats with longer/deeper seat bottoms...? Would love to keep the power and heat I've added to mine - and if a set of KK seats would do the trick I'll grab a set.

Bob

Any chance you can take some pictures of the passenger seat up and folded? I was considering PT cruiser seats because they had a fold flat passenger seat, but If I could accomplish the same thing with a KK seat, That would save a lot of effort.
