Back seat lift???
I've got a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I've noticed in several other vehicles like trucks and stuff, that the back seat isn't just sitting on the ground like the jeep seats are. So i was wondering if there was a way to lift the back seat to stick stuff under it instead of having to unfold it all the time. If it's not like a text book way, but some rigged way, thats fine too. If not, I will try to find a way then let anyone else know. Thanks!

yes. It took me a minute to figure mine out too but if you look on the sides of the seat you will see some loops made of whatever fabric your seats are made of. You should be able to just pull up on those and it should tilt forward towards the front seats.
Mine is a 1897 but I am pretty sure they are all basically the same.

Mine is a 01 and it's just like you said but I think your jeep is a 1987 not a 1897 lol

ooohhhh.
In that case... I have no idea. That is kind of a fabrication type thing and not at all my strong suit.

Back seat lift???
I posted this on the Cherokee Tech, no answers. Posting it again here.
I've got a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I've noticed in several other vehicles like trucks and stuff, that the back seat isn't just sitting on the ground like the jeep seats are. So i was wondering if there was a way to lift the back seat to stick stuff under it instead of having to unfold it all the time. If it's not like a text book way, but some rigged way, thats fine too. If not, I will try to find a way then let anyone else know. Thanks!
