I found a pic of an '08 seat on the Internet. I tried to copy and paste here but it isn't working on my phone. Anyway, it looks like you can unbolt the front bolts at the floor and then flip the seat up backwards towards the rear of the Jeep. This will give you clear access to the locking mechanism under the seat. It will also give you easy access to the hinges under the seat to clean them up. Actually, it looks like you could probably pull the whole seat out this way. I hope all my rambling posts help at least a little bit.

the sun came up this morning, and out came the crowbar.
Needless to say, the seat is no longer an issue.

Thanks for sacrificing your time to help me out.

Just a reminder of what's wrong.

Our intention was to get some cool pics of a muddy Nack.

However, the day didnt fare so well.

Ripped off a Bushwacker fender....not at the bolts, the fender ripped in two.

Destroyed a side step bar.

filled the JK with water up to the A/C controls.

Drowned an iphone.

TONKA REFUSES TO START AGAIN.
WIFE HAD TO TOW IT BACK TO HENDERSON.
(thanks to Teraflex for my "white belt", couldnt have gotten home without it.)

Key turns on, but no motor.
Radio turns on, but no sound.
A/C turns on, but no cold.

The only thing that works are the Hazards, which I didnt turn on, and wont go off.
I will probably disco the batt to shut em down.

Heres the damage to the step bar.


And my rock rashed rim.


and a floating wheel stand in one of the smaller pond puddles


The following may be difficult to view if you have a weak stomach, lol.
Please dont try this at home. Please note I am not stuck in these photos.



And the refurbished interior.
If you look at the outside of the drivers side dash, you can see the water line.



Others there got better pics and some videos.
I will have to wait for them to send them to me
.

replies may take a while, since ive no net at home, and my iphone is kaput.



EDIT:
I feel the need to clear something up:
I did make it through it...several times.
It just wouldnt start later, after I killed it.
Everyones acting like it died crossing the puddle...
or like I got stuck.

LOL. Actually, I'm an f'in idiot!!! I've been looking at the seat in my 4 Door Jeep without ever taking into consideration that Tonka is a 2 Door and the seats are totally different.

Sorry Crash...next time I'll pay a little closer attention before I open my big mouth.
