X2 on the back seats. Anyone know how easy it is to do this and change back?

It would be very difficult to go back. The instillation welds panels over the back door openings and you have to remove part of the roll bars.

Why couldn't they build one like that? I like it. I've wanted a Jeep tuck ever since I first saw the Gladiator concept so many years ago.

Jeep Unlimited $26,000- $35,000
Kit $6,000
Paint and install $4,000
$35,000-$45,000 is alot of money for a 2dr truck with af very small truck bed. A Chevy Colorado starts at $17,500 and it seats 4 people with a larger bed.

yes if you want to be economincal and run of the mill. you would probably be the only person in the state with one of these. or even in the region. someone doesnt build this to use it like they use a Colorado. This is still very capable off road and a head turner.

who the hell wants a chevy colorado anyway

Can you just purchase the side panels and make it like an LJ? there would be a rather large window gap when you put the top up, but it would be damn cool
