Carpeted to match and it disappears nicely.

o ok, but do you / can you still use the seat

Yesterday I made a poor man's spare tire mount. Modified my Thule bike rack with a Dana 35 axle shaft

The rack even folds down flat to allow the rear door to open fully.

thats a good idea

I used 1" spacer blocks under the rear seat brackets to give enough room for the amp box, and yes, the seat still functions like stock. One more note, on either side of the seat there is a shaft that locks it down, those hit the subwoofers and needed to be cut shorter, but they still lock into the brackets fine.

I haven't had time to look for any more photos. I'll try to get to it this week.

Updated to my previous third brake light- I made a _____ for my TJ! (post your homemade Jeep stuff here) - Page 22

Made a new third brake light holder to accomodate CB antennas and create a stronger mount. The previous unit vibrated too much for my liking when the antenna hit stuff.

Finished and Sandblasted:

Welds


Primed and painted semi-gloss black and installed. Holds 2 3ft CB antennas. Those are cheapo "Diesel" antennas I got on ebay. The brake light should clear a 35" tire easy.



And no, the mounts aren't straight. The small 1/4" top plates warped during welding. And no I don't care and I probably won't fix it...

EDIT:
I had to add one of the stock rubber isolators to the mount to keep the tire carrier from whacking it. I just drilled a hole in the center square tubing and tacked a nut on it. Its a stainless M8 socket head cap screw in the isolator. Just what I had laying around. I found out the tire carrier was vibrating quite a bit off-road - this amounted to nearly 1" of deflection!

brake light bracket looks good..its a jeep,if ya use it who wants perfect anyhow,haha
if my old trucker mind remembers right,,if you have both antennas hooked up your radio wont work worth a crap compared to 1 antenna? unless there much farther apart..i think im right on this if memory serves me right.
but 1 can always be a spare

In my past posts about my aluminum rockers you all asked for pics. well here they are minis the angle iron on bottom.4x4x1/4 aluminum angle ,raps under tub for more protection.Aluminum triangles will be welded to aluminum angle so angle iron can be bolted to the main rocker unit.In side the cab their will be another 1/4''aluminum plate to sandwitch the tub between them. Thats a 1/2'' thick rocker .3/8th ss button head bolts will put it all togeather.http://img383.imageshack.us/i/picture006v.jpg/

they'll eventually be hooked to two different radios. A Cobra 75WXST and a Uniden BCT7. Right now the antennas aren't working at all...apparently I painted it too good, its not grounding!! I gotta wait till X-mas when I go home so I can get my SWR meter too.

Your right, I'm sure it is 110 inches. To get the best preformance using co-phase antenna set-ups.

i made a half-door window roll down fastener! I bought Beige velcro tape (to match soft top and door color) and put one square on outside of cloth underneath bottom of window,and one on the inside. after i unzip windows i tightly roll it down and than fasten the velcro around the roll. perfect for drivin on highways with little flappin!
