...and seat heaters are more common maybe offroader can confirm this.

No seat heaters in mine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> They may have been an option though. I know they are available in the gen 2.5 (98-00) Monties. Not sure about the 97 having them.

I've considered finding/using a pair of brown gen 2.5 front seats for the likely better condition leather (especially the driver side) and wiring the heaters in.

From what I've read aftermarket seat heaters are not so desirable because their reliability is an issue... but I digress and this should be discussed under a different thread... (as usual)
