    Okay, I am at a point where the CJ is going to need a back seat. Going to go with a low back to fit in with oringnal fronts. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts to brand/vendor. Thanks for the info.

    Matt,
    I've got a fold-n-tumble unit from a TJ I was going to use. Stored inside for past year. Going another direction so I'll let it go for what I've got in it; $100. Free shipping!!;) PM sent with pics.

    Moved to Tech. Guys, gentle reminder, business deals go via pm, e-mail, or in classifieds.

    My 69 had a metal box with a seat on top, and the back mounted to some angle iron against the bed... Box is taller on the front edge than the back.

    Also had the fronts hodged out for speakers, driven by like a 600w amp... Have to have something loud I guess to overcome the engine at 45mph. Mounts for radio thankfully are on a potential skull dent and ripper welded between the roll bars near the windshield.

    This had sat so long mice nested, died and rotted in there. Smelled fierce! Rubber gloves, bleach, barf, more bleach, worrry about haunta virus and plague... Done... Managed to use a angle grinder on all the bolts to get it out. Sitting in the shed, not sure I care for it. Extra Space is good, but I don't plan on wiring in a radio when I redo it all, to two huge bubba cut holes for 6x9s ruining the front edge.

    Similar to a flat fender seat setup a friend has.

    No belt mount either.

    It won't fit. Too wide. A up to and including a YJ seat will fit, I believe.
