all you need is:
- a socket set

- (4) wire lock pins 5/16" x 2 1/4" (2 1/4" useable, 2 1/2" total length ussually)
- a drill and 21/64" bit (next step up from 5/16")

read on for details...

If you tumble a ZJ seat too fast it sometimes comes off the hinges. Clever design on the ZJ and clever idea and design on your WJ.

I regularily removed those parts from my ZJ when I took it camping. At 6'1", the bottoms removed and the front seats all the way forward there was more than enough room to sleep in it.

CZJ.

makes no sense that the wj seats didnt come removable from the factory.

We're here to make sense of it all!

it was one of the two things that I missed when I switched from a ZJ to a WJ. But now there will only be one thing that I liked better on my ZJ.

the body style. Every other aspect on WJ superior between the two.

Great tip, I'm going to do mine week

Very cool. However, my seat track is broken which causes it to rock backwards; the rear seat set up provides support so I don't fall backward when I drive

I really need to fix my seat because your set up is darn slick and makes more sense than about anything else I've seen online in a long time.

Well done!

Nice

Awesome idea! Where exactly did you get the wire lock pins? I'm doing this mod tomorrow as soon as I can track down the drill bit and pins! Thanks for the excellent write-up

ace hardware had 3, then luckily home depot had the 4th one for me! the bit was just the next size up from 5/16" in a cheap harbor freight set i have.
