That turned out perfect! My very first vehicle was a 72 blazer. I wish like hell I had left it parked in high school rather than bomb through every mud hole in the county... Great job!

Yep... shouldnt be allowed to own one until your at least 28.

Ha! I was stuck driving a Subaru in high school. That didn't keep me from bombing though the mud holes though! Tom, your 2WD Jimmy is way nice - would love to have one of each someday.

agreed! I ended up selling it to a guy for $500 bucks. the only thing left on it that I didn't destroy was the top. I will own one again someday!

Thank's for the pic's of the cage. I am wanting to go with the CB seats front and rear also. What model seats did you use frt and rear? I want my front and rear seats to mount to tubing that is part of the cage on the lower floor. Don't think I need recliners in the front, and can use a CB42" for the rear. Sound about right?

Oops - sorry for the delay! Yeah, used the Corbeau Baja JP front seats (the JP version have lower side bolsters to help make getting in easier - still a bit of a pain though) part number 26402B and the rear is the 42" Baja Bench (64402B). I made some mounts to adapt the seats to the factory slider / tilt brackets in front but the strongest way would be to attach them directly to the cage. You just lose the adjustability doing it that way. Then made some simple brackets to attach the rear seat to the factory mounts as well. The rear is a bit narrower than factory, but a couple kids fit perfect! Anything else, let me know.
