It's a longshot, but has anyone here added fold flat seats? Apparently it only came with the "Popular equipment group" Looking at the part numbers, the frame/recliner mechanism is the same for both fold flat and not. The other route is to buy a whole seat used, but I'm a bit leery of using something that could have been in a crash.

I'm pretty sure the 11+ comes standard with that. Mine has it and my only options are 4x4 and sky slider.

Nice, I don't have one seat in mine that folds flat including the rear. It would definitely make it easier to haul things.

The 2007 and later Dodge Nitros also have that fold flat front seat so if you find a wrecked Nitro, that is also a source.

I have a 2007 Nitro and the seat looks exactly like that picture.

Just used the fold-flat front to car camp in the Liberty. Let me stretch my lanky frame all the way out!

Im 5ft 3in. So i can camp even without the folding front seat in my KJ. But it does make it better.

I've looked into this as well and the easiest way is just replace the seat itself. There's a couple things missing besides the linkage from what I was told. Also missing that plastic piece on the back of the seat

KK seats fit into a KJ?

Always thought they would, never knew for sure.

And my '10 KK Renegade passenger seat folds flat...
