Here is the inside of the Jeep. Notice the different seats. The seats that came with the jeep where hard plastic with a hill-billy type mount, so I immediately began to fix that problem. I found these jems at a local custom seat place. They are designed for a Rhino ATV, which means compact in size, just what a small Jeep needs. I added a frame to attach the seats, which is welded to the roll cage. The passenger side seat is hinged and rotates forward, so I can access the original storage compartment.
Another issue that came with the Jeep was the steering column. The column was attached poorly, which made every attempt to steer questionable. I added a horizontal bar attached to the roll cage. The bar holds a single heim joint which allows a 3/4" thick steering shaft to rotate freely. I also added a 3/4" mount on the firewall for additional support. Other features include removable steering wheel and ammo can console....Now lets get started on tearing this old girl apart.
