Would this be too difficult...

Would it be too difficult to remove the back seat and put in two front seats in the back like this liberty here. I know it sounds useless but it would be a nice mod to give the back seat passengers some more leg room and comfort as well. I've seen front seats go up on ebay for pretty cheap

It would be easy. You would simply have to fab the seats mounts into the rear floor.

FWIW, I would kill for the front bumper on that KJ! I like the roof rack too.

Shouldn't be that hard making the front seats adapt to the back, but what about that hole in the center where the middle seat was?

for the record, that is one bad KJ! Interesting wheels on that one too, got the whole moab rim look goin on, and then some..... :?:

As for that hole, peanut butter. I think those wheels are from AEV. I've considered them myself.

I see the it has what looks like an 3" exhaust and rear fog lamps. Cool. Any more pics of it???

Here are two I snatched from Camp Jeep;

I was hoping to use these images if I met a fab person who could design a bumper like that! IMO, it is the coolest bumper I've seen on a KJ yet.

No required turn and sidemarker lights on that bumper.
Definitely not street legal.

You have a good point on t/s. Although it wouldn't be too hard to install them. As for side markers, that would simply require a trip to the big truck store for two amber rectangled reflectors (mounted on the bumper's ends).

I'm curious as to those fabbed door handles. They're cool.

That's one of the sweet things about AllJ's bumper. Its all built in to the design rather than hung off the side.

That's a hot looking KJ!

But where does the winch go? There doesn't look to be enough space between the fairlead and the radiator. Please tell me it wheels as good as it looks and it's not just a show-car.

I love the roof bars, and the door handles are pretty funky too!

Is that an AllJ bumper and what type of winch will fit behind it? Will the Mile Marker PE8000 fit in there? That's a lot of weight to add to the front.

Well let me see if I can answer a few questions and clear some stuff up...

I spent probably close to two hours scoping this thing out at the PA Jeep Show a few months ago...

First the handles on the door
They are simply holes drilled in a nice straight line in the standard handle... other then that they are the same

The Rack
Seemed kinda flimsy ... and worthless only for looks as the top was a retractable roof... canvas kinda like the VW Van I think...

The Bumber was a one off... there was a winch behind it... didn't look to big.

The turn signals are now in the lights.. no idea how.. but it looked neat

The thing had no front drive shaft and cameras mounted underneath and ont he passenger side view mirror and about a 5 or 7 inch LCD where the rear view would be...

they didn't start it to move in and out of the trailer ... so I will assume that was because the the drive shaft problems...

Here are the pictures I have

Hey, was looking at all those pics of the Jeep show in York. Was that Saturday when the Silver Grand was flipped. Did he break something or was that just some hotdoggin that got him flipped. I was there later in the day Sat afternoon and don't remember seeing anyone have any trouble on that corner at all.

Guest · **Posted:** Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:01 am

Yeah he went up on the corner too high... and down he went..... then he broke something....

actually you will see the back bumper was off...it was from coming out of the bowl....

I like the hood, and the gas cap, plus the fore mentioned stuff

If I'm not mistaken, that Jeep is the Liberator which is the Liberty CRD concept built by AEV, Jeep, and someone else. It was only intended for show and will be crushed in the near future due to legal reasons.
