The seats have seat belts built into the seat, the company matched the interior far better than i had expected. with the seat in you loose the large storage area, (same room as a TJ). the seat comes out in a few min, or just lay the mid row seat down and put the grocerys in the middle. The jeep now seats 7, so if I have friends or faimly now we can take one car, still cooler than a mini-van. what do ya'll think

it takes me about 10 min to take from my jeep and put in my wifes jeep, and is pretty simple to remove, my wife can take it out but take her alittle longer.

Just to illustarte, here's a picture of an accident that happened in front of my office yesterday morning. The guy walked away without a scratch because the crush zone worked on his honda van. His van is DESIGNED for 3rd seat passengers and if he would have had any, they would have been killed. Just imagine how bad it would be if it wasn't even designed for it.

but off ranting, those seats do appear to match well and fit the space nicely.

So all you worryworts are gonna sell the wifes camry or Accord cause they arent safe in an accident huh? Didnt think so! Geez guys grow a pair! Excellent write up!
