Rear seats

I was searching for modifications to the rear seats but I couldn't find anything, the thing is I want to recline a few more degrees the rear seats, because my two girls always end up fighting each other to sleep laying down instead of seating, thats beacause the rear seats don't recline (every other car and suv can) and the angle is so low, anybody has tried something like that?

I have not tried it. I am not sure how you would go about this with how they are configured now, considering there is that metal loop that the seats clip onto. I would think that you would have to totally remove the seats and try a different type. Then you woudl have to fabricate new mounts. But that is just MHO.

I was thinking in moving the loops back so the seat clip more reclined

That is a possibility but then they will always be reclined. I can only imagine the arguments then, lol.

I want to know what other SUV's have reclining rear seats?
or at least the ones in the same class as the KJ

I will take a look at the loops to see if i can come with a better solution.

Here in Chile we have the suzuki vitara and grand nomade (same but 4 doors), they had reclining rear seat since the '90, more car suv the hyundai santa fe but these are uglys as s...

Maybe the KK seats can be swapped? I don't know. Are they that much different?

Can you recline the KK rear seats?

As far as SUV's go, the rear seats in my Mothers 07 Murano are split 60/40 just like the Liberty and they recline independently from each other about 40 degrees back. As for being in the same class...I guess they are both mid-size SUV's though technically the Murano is a crossover.

That loop has to be repositioned further back in the vehicle. I would look at the hinge / pivot mechanism to see if there is a limiter on that and then go from there.

Please reinstall that loop properly - it holds the seat back in postion in case of a car accident. Without it, the seats will fold and possibly hurt your passengers.
