Default Subaru brat seats as back seat replacement


I decided i was done with that rear seat backing bending in the middle so i made up some brackets for subaru brat bed seats with O.S. handles on them. sit a lil high though so i gotta some how sink the rear into the floor. should i indent the floor where it raises or something else? more detailed pics later.

Thats definitely the idea sorta haha. I always hated not having something to hold onto in the backseats of wheelers. so always wanted to test the waters with this. some minor adjustment still need to be done.

i will definitely post the effectiveness of this mod. only prob is the handles restrict wider bodied ppl. just a thought for if your hauling bigger guys around who got some meat on their bones. i'm a twig fit anywhere you know?

The reason this particular picture is not working is because you have the s**t word in the url, which is automatically filtered out by cherokeeforum.

CF won't let you use naughty words, even in image urls. You would have to change the filename of the picture, then fix the link.

Yeah i know what your saying, you could cut them and weld in a piece of steel that'll make them stick wider apart, Just a thought though.

I haven't seen a set of those in years.
They would perfect for a 2 door with the top cut and mounted like they was in the bed of a Brat.
I'd love to have a set laying around.
