Great job, how hard would it be to change back to seats? Could you lay down back there? I like it but would like to have the option of seats if needed. |

Great job, a couple of questions, how hard is it to put the seats back in? And can you lay down in back. Also when will you buy a welder, alot faster than bolts. |

Just ran across this. It looks fantastic. Did you ever post drawings/measurements/cut lists, etc? I think this is the perfect solution for me. I use the back seat most of the time, but when the wife and I head for the hills it would be easy to change out and have tons more functional room. I would be interested in any advice, lists, recommendations, etc. that you can offer on the project. I don't have a welder either, but I could get my brother or father-in-law to weld it up for me (I would have to drive 400 miles to get it though). Bolting might be a good option for me. Have you noticed any of the connections coming loose since you have had it in for a little while now? Did you use thread lock or nuts with nylon inserts? |

I just spent 3 nights in the back of my KJ. I'm short, 5'8". I used an air mattress to lay on. I moved the drivers seat all the way forward, seat back in the upright position. I put the mattress down from the drivers seat to the back passenger corner. It worked just fine. Terry |

It looks Fantastic, not practicle for those with little ones, but for singles to 2 occupant rides it's incredible. Great fit and finish, if it's as good as it's look in the pic's it will be fun to drive into a Dealership and declare you bought this Jeep a few years back and can't find the reported rear seat latch!!!  Then stand back and have some fun. But don't break into a smile just keep the joke going demanding this is the way it came off the dealership floor. 
Just another way to have a good time at the dealership.

Very cool, I might consider doing that one day, would be great when travelling. One thing I was thinking, it would be cool to put a hinge on the top board, or maybe split it into two doors for easier access to the stuff below. Dave |

It looks like I will be busy! Other than aesthetics, why did you cut the top of the backboard (corners) at an angel? I will be doing all of mine with the basics, hack saw, skill saw and an electric hand drill.

Not around here. We do have a couple of "Metal Fabrication" shops here. I'll check them out. Terry |
