Default "URBAN ASSAULT VEHICLE" build

So my build is a 1993 ZJ. Not much done yet, I went ahead and pulled the carpet factory seats...and put in four Hunsaker buckets and got the rear two seat harnesses in. I also have the front bumper pulled and the bracing done for my new custom bumper.

Here's before work was done :





And now after I've worked on it :

Have you used those seats before? Any long ammount of seat time and you may be putting in the orginal seats. Cool build, hope to see more soon.

I haven't yet, but I got the padded covers...so I think they'll be ok. We'll see though.

So you want some thing for DDing and you put non adjustable Race buckets in it?
And ripped off the bumper ect.
Well good luck. Those seats suck after 15 min...

The unpadded seats are worse! And they don't fit my fat butt well either. We put some in a Ford Ranger project, and we're yanking them out for some XJ buckets instead. Hmm, the Ranger is going to have some XJ seats, an XJ HP d30, XJ 6" coils, JK and TJ control arms, and an XJ 8.25 rear...

Interesting project dude. Only kids will like those Hunsaker seats. The padding might help...

Thanks guys...the front seats do have sliders. Ya it will be used as a DD. I may end up adding extra padding too. we'll see though.

Hey, if your butt fits the seat, cool. They would be OK if I hadn't gained 100 pounds over the last 28 years!!!
