When I bought my Jeep it didn’t have a rear seat and I often have to take my friends wheeling so I really needed a seat so I went looking and I found a TJ Rear folding seat. To make it fit I had to make custom brackets to hold the seat with some 90 degree steel, a 4ft steel rod, and some dead bolts. This is what I came up with…









If you have any recommendations for a bed liner for the back please let me know!

 

Seatbelts ?

 

x2,

but I really like that, folds up and out of the way like the rear seat in my montero did...

only thing I would do is create something over the storage wells under the seat so that when you fold the seat up you have a flat floor for better cargo stowage

 

why go through all that trouble when you could have just put a factory one in and they fold up less bulky?

 

x2 lol but creative

 

Just have to buy them just going with some lap belts from quadratec.

 

Well I wanted to be able to pull the seat out and use it as a chair and the TJ seat being smalleer this is much easier for say a camp trip like I have it below(guy sleeping on it)... And also I have some things Im going to do on the sides that a regular seat wouldnt allow me to do also at the time the cheapest XJ rear seat I could find (in decent shape) was more that $150 or 100miles away.

and yes someone is sleeping on the top of the jeep....

 

Thats exactly what I was planning to do

 

Makes sense, when I had my scrambled before I had kids that was the primary use of the rear seat, always had my camping chair with me

 

pics of the cj8??


my dad had one it was an 85

 

i want to sleep on top of my xj when i go camping im just afraid of rolling over and falling off with that lift

 

I got a make shift bed liner, I picked up entry way weather carpet for the house from Menard's its rubber on backside an burbur on top and fits perfect in the back $9

 

sadly no my ex destroyed my computer that most the pics of it were on, i got some pics of it in albums but no scanner. which sucks cause i loved that jeep. looking for another one now to build as an expo/ cruisin rig.

but mine was an 83 with a 60 and 14b full cage. other than that it was an average scrambler laredo. i sold it 10 yrs ago to build the XJ cause i had 3 kids and got tired of redoing the roll cage to fit the kids in LOL

 

Roof rack and your fine...

 

yeah my dad traded his for 2 grands and $2000 but i wish he never would have i loved that thing im 19 years old and was brought home from the hospital in that jeep ill put a pic of it in my album on here
