yeah the ZJ has extra holders in the seats to store the headrests in. You have to remove those too.

Good score on the matching material!

Thanks for the compliments. I made it from scap wood i had and pretty much measured as i went. I remember seeing something similar but made of metal on ebay but i couldnt afford the $$$ so i spent a few hours making this. It actually fit better before i ripped out the carpet and bedlined the interior.

So I'm not the only one driving around with a gas mask in the back of my Jeep.

Do you have major rust issues? I've always heard that about Hawaii.

THe gas mask is optional though sometimes people like me with asthma require it. It gets bad where you can taste the sulfur- tastes like fart! But it hasnt been as bad lately. What do you have a gas mask for?
The rust isnt as bad as other places that have to salt the road.... I didnt break my rear shockbolt when doing my lift but the body does rust, especially if you dont rinse after a day at the beach... I've bondoed quite a bit ?

I like the cubby, too. I have two grab handles on the driver's side in my rig... The gear shift **** and the steering wheel!
