Back seats
Now I've had several jeeps 73 CJ5, 90 YJ, 01 TJ, and now this 08 JK all of them had a flip and fold passenger seat to help get into the back seat EXCEPT the jk. I've found it easier to just jump over from the back. But when I tell folks to just hop in and open the back up you should see the looks I get.
Now am I missing some thing or should us 2 door guys just throw our back seats away ? Its hard to use something you can't get to.

I love the looks of the 2dr, but I could not let that keep me from having an easily accessed back seat and more storage. It was the 4dr that got me back into a Jeep.

Owners manual:
07 is section 3 page 87
09 is section 3 page 88
08 is section 3 also.
There is a lever on the side of the seat that releases the seat track so it slides forward and the seat back is then released to fold forward.
Most 2 door vehicles have this feature. As far as fold-n-tumble seats they have done away with those due to the crash safety testing imposed by "Big Brother"

Ya but they work completely different than the old Tj fold and tumble seats. Its was a very simple lever that held that in place. Now I havent seen all the minivans set ups but the ones I have is a much stronger.
