Default Jeep JK Rear Seat Options

My biggest road trip complaint from the Kids is the Rear Seat of my 2013 JKU. Any Ideas? Stock Front Buckets mounted in the rear. Aftermarket Seat Manufactures? Brackets?

Any ideas would be great.


Thanks

I believe master craft makes a bracket to mount 2 stock bucket seats in the rear. Or to mount their own buckets. Only downside is you lose the fold down ability of the rear set for not cargo space.

I can see myself going this route one day however. Front seats go to the rear and the front gets a new set of buckets.

There's a cheap mod on these forums, where you put shims under the mounting brackets to angle the seat and backrest back some to make it more comfortable. It obviously doesn't make the seat softer, but it does help some. And it's free or very cheap to do.

For the rear seats, did you use the front brackets? It looks like it sits pretty high.
