The way I did mine the seats lay flat when folded down and are mounted similar to the way they were in the ZJ. I had a lot of modification to the lower half though. I am thinking about ripping it out and trimming the bottom seat a bit more along with trimming the top just a hair for a little bit nicer fit.

What kind of mods are needed to make it fit? The Cherokee rear seats are so uncomfortable, not that I car but I do take road trips now and then.

Very nice I like that! I have been thinking of a few ways to build one and that helps me out a lot.

What exactly does that help? I've seen that before but never knew exactly what it did.

Braces your steering box above the pitman arm. Just for better support.
