Default Question! About seats!

So I did some looking around and couldn't find a thread on this. So I have a 2013 wrangler 2 door and want to put 3 people in the back with seat belts. Does anyone have a after market seat or have a custom idea? Any input is greatly appreciated thanks guys!

I haven't seen any aftermarket rear seats for the 2-door. Anything you'd be doing would probably be totally custom. The width is the killer, since the rear seat in the 2-door sits between the wheel arches. In the Unlimited, the seat bottom sits forward of the wheel arches. Totally different setup. I can't imagine getting 3 people back there in a 2-door safely, or comfortably.

I've done exactly this for my three kids, admit its a little snug but it works fine.
Removed the cover on stock seat and spaced apart the stock belt buckles using a heavy gauge steel brace bolted to the stock frame. Then mounted a third inertia reel belt to the rear of the seat base.
Next made up a heavy gauge steel bar, bolted across the sport cage using longer bolts through the upper seat mounts (with crush tubes) The bar has a tab welded in the correct spot to pick up the third upper belt mount - bingo 3 belts in the rear!
Will take some photos if you wanna see it?
