What type of tools are you using to loosen rear seats? Ratchet closed ebd wrench is what I tried to use and is some really tight fits. Any time saving tips other than letting some shop loosen?

I'm starting this in the morning! I've got the seats unbolted and ready to go. Once I get the seats, I'm going to hose it out quick as there's some mud still in there. Then I'll start sanding and getting this done!
I feel like the biggest problem was getting the rear seat out. The bolts underneath the rear seat were next to impossible to get out but finally got them out with a breaker bar. I took the 1/3 seat out first in order to get to the other bolt on the 2/3 seat.
I'll post pics when I'm done and any "gotchas" that I find as I go along. Perfect weekend for this, 3 day weekend and beautiful weather!!!

I finished and everything is back in the Jeep. I'm really happy with how it came out. There's a few spots that'll need to be touched up, but all-in-all, it came out great!
Once everything was out of Jeep, it was really easy to do. I think masking areas off and taking everything out was the hardest part.

Mine to! Mine to!
After following this thread, tips from others, and my experience I've already felt great about this mod. Though I pick around a little too much and took at least 12 hours I am proud of this. Welcome to answer anyone's questions. I keep getting comments from people everywhere of what a great idea this is. Here are my results:
Stripped and ready for scuffing paint.
Lots of hours later.
My tailgate wanted a little to.
NOTE: The duck was not injured, probably got pretty high from all of the fumes.
-->Listen to the directions to use gloves. I didn't think about it until I was done. It's one week later and most of the liner is gone from my hands.
