Yep, the rear seats fold almost flat (maybe 5 degrees off flat). But the seats themselves take up quite a bit of space. They're also fairly heavy. The new deck weighs probably less than half what the seats do. I took mine out because I never use them anymore.

Just a personal use/preference thing.

Yeah I'm with JJ on this with wanting just one side. I personally would want the 1/3 side out. That way son and passenger could still cram into the back.

Also, with the "extra" bit of room under the deck, is there enough room for a second battery under there? (dreaming of a deck with an Engle fridge on it)

Thanks,

That's great! Perfect for hauling dogs or what have you.

Yesterday I had mine loaded down good with a square bale of peat moss, several large bags of soil and some bags of cow poop. The HD suspension handled it well......

What kind of air horns do you have in your KJ?

yeap, needs to be able to hold the fridge (full of ice cream and cold drinks). Or bags of cow poop should the need arise.

The deck will be made out of wood though.

how much does the fridge weigh?? lol a wood frame will work just fine especially if you build in some angles, you should have any problems with wood
