@Living in the Past Ah yes....the illusive unicorn of headrests. So does anyone actually have one of these mythical creatures in their possession? I'm sure I couldn't afford it, but maybe I could attempt to recreate it? I've been designing it in my head and have ideas but I'm wondering if someone on here actually owns one or two of these that could provide pictures and dimensions?
Thank you for the tip! Got these for $42.00 on ebay. 1994 Heep Cherokee head rests.Thanks @JohnnyC ......you're way faster than me. My search hadn't brought up anything yet.
Did you find the exact thread I was thinking of? The person had taken good pictures that showed measurements and everything. I've got the upholstery shop fixing a small tear in my passenger seat and I had him order enough material to do two headrests to match. I just need to find headrests.
Yes, that’s what the listing for these labeled as year models. They did not slide right in. Took some wiggling but nothing that led me to believe I damaged anything in the process. Cleaning up the prongs and a light coat of lubricant would have helped. Found a lot on eBay but these are a good match to the material.@ChaseBoost Those look pretty dang good. The material looks like it almost matches too. Did you figure out what Jeep models/years would work on the JF40 seats (post dimension)? A quick search for "jeep cherokee headrests" shows they COULD be the same from 1984-1996 but that's trusting an ebay listing.....
Yeah I ended up finding mine by the piece and not as a set. Just found 2 random mudders getting rid of a single headrest so I think they are slightly cheaper that way, but only slightly if at all.@Grayscale and @Living in the Past It's good to know that unicorns do exist. I doubt I'll ever see them in person, but I'll always pay attention to FJ40 headrests from this point forward.
@Living in the Past I like switches as much as the next guy but there's got to be a limit. LOL That looks like the cockpit of an SR-71 Blackbird!
I will post dimensions of the head rests and posts this evening. Knowing that helps a lot.@ChaseBoost Those look pretty dang good. The material looks like it almost matches too.

@ChaseBoost Any luck with the Heep Cherokee headrest post dimensional?I will post dimensions of the head rests and posts this evening. Knowing that helps a lot.
Any chance you can take a measurement from post to post, like this thanksThank you for the tip! Got these for $42.00 on ebay. 1994 Heep Cherokee head rests.

Apologies for the delay. Had a family member pass away. The holes in the FJ seat are a little far aprt but they fit. I sanded the posts, sanded the inside of the posts the most and applied a light coat of WLG. They slid in fine after that.@ChaseBoost Any luck with the Heep Cherokee headrest post dimensional?
