Looks like a good start! It would be sweet if you did a quick photoshop of what the rest will look like.

You have the same welder as I do. Coincidentally, I too am using mine to put a cage in. Best of luck to you. It looks like your build is coming along nicely.

The seats will probably be removed back there, ive toyed with the idea of putting a TJ rear seat back there, but havnt had one to test or fiddle with. either way youre right, the current ones can no longer latch in the spot, wasnt a big concern really.

i have this brainstorm for frame tie in.

weld lengths of square stock whatever dimension i measure, into the frame rails from the top (cuz i can now access the inside of em..lol)



the top mounting plate would be flush with the XJs rear floor, and welded all around, while being welded to the tube "leg", which in turn is welded through the stock, welded into the frame. stiff.
