sweeeeet! you gotta throw some pics up! i didn't know you could do the bedsides on a fourdoor. you should bondo up he door cracks so it'll look like it came that way!
 
yeah buddy! i say 2 seater. i rarely ever need my back seat, and you'd spend a little more money tryin to conform to jeepspeed if you put another seat in there. are you dd'n this bad girl? if not, you oughta spool the rear end so you won't need the front end as much in the sand...
 
its gonna be my DD. Im not planning on ever racing this since im building my own long arms for it. I'm gonna try to do a 3rd seat with the back doors not opening
 
sounds good.... corbeau makes some nice 2 person rear racing seats that are really cheap and comfy, and easy to mount. then you could get something like mj or two door seats that will flip forward. you should tint the windows, too, unless you're gonna have a kickass cage you wanna show off. i'm just throwin the ideas out there. i'm in the boat where i'm on my own with no help from the parents, but not quite financially stable enough yet to build what i really want, so you get to hear what i'd do for a prerunner...
 
also, that's a sweet pic of the five of you workin on the jeep. you could send that out as a christmas card as "greetings from all of us" or "all of me" or something. really trip out some acid flashback vietnam uncle you've never met...
 
Im doing double limo on the windows full 1.75 .120 wall cage with 5 points and maybe a carbon fiber dash. Working AC/heater 10 inch 10 J/L 10 W7 sub with a 6 by 9 components up front with stock sized in the hatch. new tweeters for up front and dynomating the whole interior. pretty much plan to have a luxury cherokee prerunner haha
