Sleeping In a Jeep

I've slept in my TJ many times in the passenger seat with the seat reclined.

Only if I spend more time with the Jeep than with the wife.

I did once, about 20 years ago in a CJ. But I woke up when I hit the tree.

If it's a CJ, I'd leave the rear seat in. I've napped in mine on long road trips by sitting in the rear seat and putting my feet on the front seat/center console.

The problem with just removing the seats is that the rear section sits higher than the front. And unless you have a Scrambler, it's probably just at the point that makes the whole experience miserable.

Unless you are qualified to be a Jockey,I think the back pain will make you consider the practicality of buying a tent, air mattess, and sleeping bag.

Well 26 years in the army from private to colonel I had many hundreds, if not thousands, of hours in Jeeps, including sleeping. Try to *not* do that. Get a lean-to or a tent, get a cot, and an air mattress and a sleeping bag and you will wake up as a normal person and not bent into the permanent "Z" position. I could go on about the hard and cold floor, the smell of mogas, etc. I live in the Sierra Nevada, have a Grand Cherokee and carry the tarp, the sleeping bag, etc. But to each his own. Hopefully there is not two of you! Well, hopefully there is two of you in which case don't even try sleeping in a Jeep - unless you want a divorce.

I dunno...seen some doghouses that were bigger than the back of my jeep! From ass to head, I can't lay down, even with my legs hanging out (kinda looks like a body dump in a soprano's show!)
