2dr rear space ?
Hi Guys,
Can a hockey bag fit in the trunk of a 2 door 2007 JK Wrangler ?
Considering buying a 2 door but if I can't fit my kids hockey bag in the trunk might have to reconsider !
Thx
George

The JK 2 dr are just a little longer than the older TJ which does make a difference in rear space. 1 large hockey bag will fit on the rear seat or 1 bag and 1 kid..w/wifie in pass seat and you driving thats its no hitch hikers. but like jlau76 mentioned if there are more kids to come a 4 dr is more practical down the road.

Re: 2dr rear space ?
I plan to remove the rear seat of my Sahara 2-door...I think it weighs around 90 lbs...Apparently, you just fold the seat forward as normal, then pull on the rod that runs between the supports...to remove the seat...I doubt if I'd be carrying more than one extra passenger...and I need the space for my musical equipment...Anybody have experience in removing the rear seat?

Yes, the rear seat is easily removable. As you said, push the rod and slide it out. I often take mine out by myself - doubt it weighs 90 pounds... Most likely less. With the seat removed, you'll gain mucho space!!!

Always run with my back seat removed, dog say's he's more comfortable without it. Removing it's not a one man job though, suckers heavy and you push DOWN on the rod to release the front hinge.

Main reason we got our jeep was for our dog. Without the back seat in it is perfect for his size. Gotta thank the dog, if not for him wouldn't own the jeep. Its so fun to ride in.

Re: 2dr rear space ?
I also take the seat out for my dog... She enjoys the space, is comfortable and it's easy to clean. I have to disagree with you though regarding the seat removal 'difficulty'. I have no idea how much it actually weighs. However, I'm 5'8" and 170 lbs, of average build I believe and I do not have any difficulty in removing it by myself - although somewhat awkward. I wouldn't carry the seat for a mile, but I can easily slide it towards the gate, slip one of my arm between the folded seat and grab the other end. I then remove it fully from the back end and walk approx. 20 feet without any problems.
