....the damn head rests???

You really have to have an oddly shaped head and neck combination to rest your head comfortably in the front seat (haven't tried it in the back seat yet).

I know this was talked about awhile back, but a search did me no good.

Are these easily replaceable? Has anyone done it? HELP!

I think I remember someone saying the ones from the Grand Cherokees fit, but not really sure

I temporarily put a set from a newer model Grand Cherokee on the front seats of my JK and they fit. I can't remember if they were from the front or rear of the GC...

I guess I have one of those oddly shaped head/neck combinations. The front headrests are the best that I have had in any car or truck.

I'll never get to try the back ones 'cause I can't get my fat ass back there.

Don't want to be an ass or hijack your thread but the head rests are not really meant for resting your head - they're meant to protect your neck in the event of a rear end collision. That's why you see a lot of modern headrests actually tilted forward (and not so cushy) - better to protect you in a collision.

Sorry - done preaching - I think the fronts are easily repaceable but I'm not sure what would fit or if anyone has done this.
