Ahh, sorry about that lol I guess I somehow thought it was a different one but saw you just re-painted it and I'd have to agree with you there, it looks like a good dune and wheeling bumper

The back seat that was in the jeep looked like something somebody added, but left no leg room and u could not fold the seats down. so I put the bench seat in from my old jeep

So I've been thinking about it and im pretty sure im going to chop the back. My hatch will not open and its hard to get to the back. So I figure why not? My plan is to replace the metal with a tarp type thing going over the roll bar similar to the back section of a wrangler. And thoughts or ideas maybe advice on how to do this would be great. Thanks in advance
