I've got a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I've noticed in several other vehicles like trucks and stuff, that the back seat isn't just sitting on the ground like the jeep seats are. So i was wondering if there was a way to lift the back seat to stick stuff under it instead of having to unfold it all the time. If it's not like a text book way, but some rigged way, thats fine too. If not, I will try to find a way then let anyone else know. Thanks!

 

yes. It took me a minute to figure mine out too but if you look on the sides of the seat you will see some loops made of whatever fabric your seats are made of. You should be able to just pull up on those and it should tilt forward towards the front seats.


Mine is a 1897 but I am pretty sure they are all basically the same.

 

Mine is a 01 and it's just like you said but I think your jeep is a 1987 not a 1897 lol

 

NO it TOTALLY IS a 1897!!

 

no not the loop. i want a way to make it so that that i dont have to use the loop is what im saying. cuz ive got stuff under the seat, but there isnt enough room to put a lot under the seat. thats why i wanted to lift it

 

I think he means lift it with some sort of legs, like a school bus

 

ooohhhh.

In that case... I have no idea. That is kind of a fabrication type thing and not at all my strong suit.

 

kind of, but not really. like wranglers, they have lift kits for the seat. its like lifting the seat higher off the floor of the car

 

I posted this on the Cherokee Tech, no answers. Posting it again here.

Cut some coil springs and bolt em under there?

 

that's actually what i was thinking, but i dont have any spare springs. i'll look for some and try it out. any other suggestions would be awesome

 

Buy a porch swing set-up from walmart

 

that would be one swingin back seat.

 

If you lift it I don't think any one over 4 feet could sit in the back

 

how bout just some steel blocks?...coil springs might work but that might be a pretty bouncy ride for any passengers eh?
