Back Seat in the TJ
« on: June 10, 2010, 09:13:02 PM »
Anyone have any experience with "modding" the back seat in a 2 door TJ?

Atm it's the typical folding bench seat, but to maximize space I was wondering if it would be possible to maybe cut it in half and make 2 folding seats with some rework?

I'm thinking if I can do that then I'd actually have enough room for the kid and the dog/stroller... that said, it would still need to be strong enough to be safe for a child seat.
Maybe this already exists, anyone seen something like this before?

I've also seen a write up on how to mod a stock seat...I'll have to look around a bit more to see if I can find it.

we borrowed a Graco similar to that tour and i hated it all the time.   id return and get a jovey cabose ultralight.  its about the same size or smaller.  will hold a baby bucket and is also a sit/stand as a double stoller.   you will need it if you have a second anytime soon.  ive spent more time buying kids wheels lately than jeep parts.

on a side note i picked up two graco nautilus front facing seats that have the RECLINE option and drink holder.   so when there older i can take them wheeling
