more heat, more noise. Other than that nothing. I've seen someone scrub the foam off the headliner and bedline it before, seemed to work pretty well.

Its a rechageable bright LED flashlight with base, it came in 09ish Caravans and Nitros(I think) It hooks to 12v and is always charged, I had the base and light, so I hooked up 12v from glovebox lamp and cut a rectangle out for the base to fit in the back of the glovebox. Close glovebox and forget about it til you need it!

They are all over EBAY, but you need the charging station too

Journey, Caravan, Jeep and Caliber looks like they all have them in 2009ish time

Wouldn't bedliner help reduce noise and I heard that it insulates some. I don't know if I am going to take it out. Has anyone done anything with the wires, like hide them or move them?

I lined the tub of my yj with herculiner, it was definatly quieter. If I ever pull the carpet in the xj I could possibly see my self lining it as well.

I used a couple of "L" brackets to mount my scanner up top and using the existing screws from the visor clips.

Default Back seat - looking into bucket seats in back of a 2dr

Howdy! Looking for input on backseat modifications for a 99 Cherokee 2dr. Bought it with no back seat. I'm either going to replace with a stock seat BUT am considering installing bucket seats in the back (I've got two extra front seats currently). Anyone seen this or done it?

Wow, really brought this one back from the dead!

I would grab a bench seat from a JY or part-out that matches the rest of the interior. Honestly, I’ve gone months without the lower bench installed- until my son was born. Fitting bucket seats back there is going to be difficult next-level fab work. There isn’t much space to work with and as far as I know, nothing that will swap in mostly as-is. If I were going to put in that much effort, I’d probably go the route of building in some sort of low-profile jump seats or a split bench back. The goal being so someone could conceivably sit back there in a pinch and cargo area is maximized.

Also, I definitely referenced this thread in 2013-14 when I went a little overboard messing with (up) my interior.

I have a 2-door as well (in regards to the original question) with little use for backseats but definitely want to have them in a pinch. This has been my plan for sometime, I just haven't gotten around to doing it. A super low profile folding seat, probably split. It won't be DOT approved obviously but will be better than someone laying on the floor in the back when I randomly have a third that is going a few miles.
