    Alright so with the cage happening in the spring, I'm going to do some suspension seats (PRPs) for the front and I'm thinking about the rear seats.
    I'm thinking I might do either one or two suspension seats in the back too. The nice thing about ZJs is being able to take more then 1 person wheeling with you.

    However the question is 1 or 2 seats back there? 1 would allow a bit more cargo room though.

    I'm not 100% on doing a bench.
    PRP will custom make them to the length you want.

    But what about belts?
    Should I roll the stock belts or lap belts won't hold people in there seats too great.

    Dude, you're being a huge post whore.

    Go with one rear seat in the middle with a harness tied into the cage. I don't know how many times I've taken more than 2 people with me wheeling, and since this is mainly your wheeling rig I'd opt for more storage.

    Who needs more storage than all full bodied ZJ already has? I wheel with people and dogs and have plenty of storage space in the back of the ZJ. Get bench that still folds down so you can use the space if you really need it.

    Yes, I am being a post whore but it's to cold to work on my Heep and I have no garage so........plus I've been off work for the past week due to have an operation.

    I do agree with what you said though, I don't often have more then 2 people with me.

    The truck won't be exactly full bodied though, I plan to chop the top off the rear after the cage is done.

    Me personally I would opt for two suspensions seats in the back and make a center console of some sort.

    Throw 2 in. Juat as easy as one and then you have a spare seat too. There is plenty of storage in the Zj already and you can build a tool box in the back to hold all the tools if you chop the top also. And maybe mount the seats up higher and put tools underneath.

    I'll have a lot more storage space back there once the spare tire carrier is built. Then I can get the facking thing out of the back.

    This is exactly what I would do. A lot of times I go wheeling I have more than one passenger, and there's still plenty of room for storage.
