Can anybody explain to me how permanently removing the bulk head (As appears to have been done here) messes with the rigidity of the body? Does some sort of aleration have to be done that I just don't see in this picture? Thanks.
Is this even legal in the US? Neat idea but not very safe. You would be really vulnerable in a rollover.
I thought a long time about these troop style seats and decided against it because of this question. I ended up putting a rear seat with head rests, a YJ "family" style roll bar so all 4 passengers could have a 3 point harness. I'm not a safety nut (If I was I wouldn't drive a roll over prone vehicle with no air bags), but the troop seats just don't cut it for me unless you're building a "Parade Jeep" or other show car.
Could you post a picture of your setup?
