That looks awesome, i think i'll do that with my Cherokee. It might be harder since mines a 97 though. Where did you get those seats?

hehe thanks and ya i thought about how they would be in the summer, especially since i live in norcal where it gets pretty hot. so i used the plastic pieces from the original door panels as the tops of the door and bed lined them so they wont be crazy hot like just having d plate.

dude i checked out your rocker guards and they look awsome!! i wanted to do that too but i also ran out of the diamond plate. ive always wanted my jeep to be dark army green with black rocker guards.. even though jeeps look awesome in any color they are.... im no racist
