great way to keep people quiet back there though.

"HEY I said SHUT UP or ill hit ANOTHER bump"

 

true, true. not many people ride in my back seat. i just want a place to put a rifle or somethin that i can get to easy so no one outside the car can see it you know? but yea, the blocks thing might would work. i'll have to try to rig somethin up this week

 

hahaha dang right. not many people ride back there anyway. i just want a place easy to reach without having to flip the dern seat all the time

 

hahaha yea thatd work. but im just wanting a way to reach stuff quick without flippin the seat all the time

 

yea.....my computer froze so i thought they didnt post. so youve got three replies here. haha my bad!

 

I'm not entirely sure that is a good idea. Headroom is at a premium in our XJs so raising the seat will only allow short 6 year olds to sit there. Plus, if you ever put the rear seat forward for rainy day trips to Home Depot, you will not be able to lay the seat back forward and flush.

when I pulled my XJ apart to clean it entirely, I noticed that the seat is not really resting on the floor. It may set up about 4" or so off the floor in front, but covers part of the wheel well so the back loses all real estate for storage. I don't see raising the seat will net you much usable space. Besides, you'd have to cut some sort of access holes in the front verticle section of the seat and I don't think that would be a smart move.

Don't want to slow you down, just give you pause to think about it.

well if your not gonna have any passengers in the back and not concerned with headroom your could prolly fab up some steel block (lift blocks would work) to put under the seat to raise it

 

i just understood the question, good idea. i like it. they are right about the head room but since your drivein......does it matter??? haha i aint got any ideas other than cuttin the mount and putting in an extension but ill be lookin for this one

 

I merged these threads, and left this in chat, it's not a fab thread. When you do the project, start a fab thread, until then, it's chat.

 

unbolt the two bolts on the hinges....get 2 peices of flat bar drill two holes in each bolt one end to the seat and the other to the jeep mounts

 

and you are sure going to hit your head on hte top. not much headroom back there compared to a wrangler

 

scared to ask why

 

Why not remove the front support to the seat and replace it with some piece of 90* angle for the horizontal piece and 1" box steel for the vertical supports? Then you can slide stuff in.

 

What about bucket seats? just an idea. You said ya aint got many people riding in back and you can put a rifle rack in between the seats too.

 

Do you have a Concealed Cary License? I
f not, check your local laws. Every state is different, so don't let "I didn't know" earn you a felony. In Wyoming, vehicles cannot conceal weapons, so I'm in good shape, but California or any other state may have a different opinion.
