Exactly. I was expecting something like the ARB air tank somehow squeezed under there.

I thought all Jeeps came with a new friend:

And now we know what Frontier Airlines modeled their passenger seats after.

Sitting on the gas tank? I guess that makes any pain go away quickly.

I don’t have a tank nor a humvee under my seat but I found a stale Cheeto and one of my many missing 10 mm sockets. Thanks for pointing me there OP!

This is the DEF suppliment tank. You see, when you or your passengers pee on the floor of the Jeep with the floor drain caps removed, it gets collected in this tank and added to the
DEF if you have the diesel engine. If yours isn't a diesel, they empty this when you change your oil so they can make money on the side selling DEF.

Thanks- I now know why I had to seat belt in the groceries to turn off the warning and the air bag off lit up on my 4R . ?

All this time I thought it was a fart recycling system which channeled them to the engine intake as part of meeting CAFE standards

To answer this whole thread and your little (amusing) quip:

The airbag system needs to know how heavy the person sitting in the front seat is, because the airbags can deploy to different sizes/strengths depending on how large the person in the seat is.

There's two reasons for that. The first reason is the wide range of sizes in the US. The second reason is because in the US, there is a law that airbags must inflate to (attempt) to keep someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt from flying out of their seat.

TBH: The comment I am writing, I cannot find a good source to back up the "airbags in the US are stronger because the US requires airbags to account for people not wearing seatbelts" bit.....

However, there's this about multi-stage airbags and weight:

For my own amusement, I would be fine if Jeep sold a Wrangler with no airbags and no safety features whatsoever. That model should come with those seat frames from the original CJ hahaha.

If that's true, my Jeep's MPG would skyrocket every time I had a bowl of French Onion soup at lunch. Ahem.
