What is the verdict on being able to remove the second row seats in a 2 dr?

[MJJ]

I searched but didn’t find an answer.

Anybody have insight on the latest thoughts on being able to remove the second row of seats in the 2 dr?

Thanks

I heard people talk to a rear seat delete but that’s about it

You can take the seats out of any car.

now, did they design a quick release ?? No idea.

we know they have a hinge based system. But how it’s all mounted is a mystery

Well there's these threaded things called bolts that correspond to holes in the floor. Remove said bolts and whammo you got it. Now the big question is can you remove em without airbag light staying lit on the dash?

Like @TNcoupe said, you just remove the bolts. Same thing for the front seats. If you get bored this weekend, practice on your current vehicle.

I thought I read (I could be wrong) that there are bolts attached to the frame so you'd have those sticking up forever...

Just thought I would check to see if anyone knew the additional details yet. Based on the answers, sounds like most of us are still waiting for additional details.

Thanks

I would find more value in a completely fold flat seat vs a removable one.

From the pics on other threads, they are a stud welded into the body. I’m not savvy enough to find those pics for ya though

Close, there are the threaded sis. Except that @LEGEND took pictures of them, maybe it was Stig, the studs are welded to the frame/body and seats are held down by nuts. So you will just need to figure out a way to deal with those sticking up.

It gives the passengers a place to sit even when the seats are out.

Bronco's shitty load floor is perhaps the biggest disappointment for me. There's 2 ways to talk about rear seat removal:

• remove in a way seats could be reinstalled
• remove rear seats & toss them

Actual removal isn't all that hard. If you want them to be reinstallable, you'll need an aftermarket package from Goosegear or the like. The horizontal plane of the final load floor will need to be ABOVE the permanent seat bracket studs - which is probably @3" higher than the floor immediately forward of the rear door.

IMO, Ford had their head far far up their ass when they finalized this design.

It would be cool to see the aftermarket come up with some jump seats facing inward to replace the rear seats.

I haven't seen anything like that on jeeps. Maybe crash/injury liability/safety issues? I wonder how hard it would be to home brew something...
