Removing front seat in a 2005 TJ Wrangler??
 

I wanted to temporarily remove the front seat in my 2005 Wrangler Sport
so I figured I would check this out on the web, Turns out that if you
own a TJ from 2002 or older, this information is easily found. 2003
and higher seems to some kind of deep dark secret!!

As I look at my seat hardware I see 6 bolts connecting the actual seat
to the riser - with seemingly no way to get at them! There are also 4
bolts holding the riser down. The nuts that attach to them seem to be
inaccessible underneath.

So........how do you DO this?? THANKS!!!!!

Boy, they sure don't seem to on mine! The bolt ends I see under there
do not line up with the ones holding the riser in place.

Have you tried to unbolt them? They should be bolted to captured nuts under
the floorpan, two of them are not viible under the vehicle because they bolt
to a sheetmetal "riser" on top of the floorpan.
