Default Bucket seats full recline?

Has anyone figured out how to modify the bucket seats to fully recline? I mean further than the rear most fixed position it normally stops. I've peeked at the mechanism and can't quite see what exactly it is preventing it from going all the back.

Bump for any gizmo wizards who might know the answer?

I'm very interested in this as well! I've never been able to figure out why seats would never fully recline when there's room to do so.

I think it's a legal thing, but pass seats should be able to. They used to in older vehicles! I may be yanking one of my seats out again this weekend to get to the bottom of this! Pun intended.

Do you want them to go all the way back so you can take a nap or something else? Wink,wink

Haha very funny! Hmmm... so many possibilities!

Since they're in the back, I want them to lie flat for bigger cargo when needed and possibly to help when traveling with my big dogs instead of them crammed in the area behind the seats by the tailgate.

...and maybe "something else"
