Hi guys just thought I'd share the fold flat drivers seat I've just built to enable a full sized double airbed to be used. Went on our first camping trip with it last week! Works really well with minimal fuss. Me my wife and our 2 big dogs slept like babies

Coffee machine, Tv, Toilet ?
Didn't know the front seat backrest could go down that far.

It doesn't, I've added a passenger seat backrest to the drives seat. So that all seats now fold flat 👍

What do you use to make a flat surface to sleep on?
Hi, we just inflate our airbed and adjust the front seats to be level with the folded down rear seats. Works really well 👍

Did you import a right-hand passenger seat from the states, or find a junkyard left-hand passenger seat in the UK, or maybe buy one elsewhere....? That's a pretty interesting setup. I usually just lean my seat back and take a nap when sleeping in my Patriot, though I'm still chronically single, haha.

Ha ha, well it may be the lack of bonking room in your Patriot that's the issue! 😉😂
I just bought another Passenger seat, took it apart and added the parts I wanted to the drivers seat. Worked out a treat, I would like the height adjustable subraframe from a US vehicle to make both front seats height adjustable. But it was proving rather difficult and expensive to obtain.

Haha, not likely, that'll get discovered only after the wedding. :p I've found that while height adjustment is handy and a fun toy in my Impala, it's not really needed in the Jeep. Just gotta play with different combinations of settings for the seat as a whole and the back adjustment until you find one that's comfy longer-term. And of course set up the mirrors and wheel to work with it. Bit of fun on that with my 100% manually adjusted mirrors, though honestly the only factory option I really wish my Patriot had that it doesn't is heated mirrors. Doesn't seem like there's much point to any of the other stuff most folks want, honestly.
