I want to build a storage drawer for the rear of my 2005 LJ. Since rear seat wouldn't be usable with drawer unit installed anyway, I'd like to remove it and gain about 8-10 inches of drawer depth. I've looked at Youtube which shows TJ's, and found other forum posts for TJ's that talk about "easy" removal but I cant see any clips to remove or bars to squeeze on my LJ. I can see the torx head bolts that fasten mounting brackets, but the front ones are under the hinge mechanism of the seat and there's no way to unscrew since the head is basically covered. So I'm thinking there's another "trick" to remove seat and hinge and get at those, or I don't see how they were installed at the factory. If anyone has done this with a 2005 LJ, Please let me know how. Thanks.

Took me a while to sort it out too. My 2005 LJ apparently has a seat similar to a JK. My LJ has the bar that you squeeze as shown in this video.

Just to throw this out there...
Removing 'should' be easy enough as explained above.
However...
when re-installing, that 'bar' can be tricky when putting the seat back in. Make sure you get a good 'click and LOCK' when the seat goes back down to insure the clamp/hooks that connect to the floor/tub latch properly hook up to the seat. Sometimes you can get a false click and the latch doesn't completely hook up. If you have passengers in the back and have a collision, the seat can fly up/forward and that is not good! Can be VERY dangerous!
