Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I like the Hydroturf, great idea, can you acess it by folding the rear seat down?

Yes you can, but for security reasons I moved the mechanism to lower the seats to inside the locked compartment

How'd you do that. I was thinking about that on mine. I figured that'd be a quick way for someone to get in so I wanted to hide, move, or remove them all together. I'd rather move them though so I can maintain use of the folding option if needed.

Just lay you seat down and unzip the back of the seat cover and you should see the bracket. I can't remember exactly if you unbolt it or unclip it. But it's rather easy,

Got the front piece trimmed perfectly. Got the majority of the back piece cut but have to do some trimming yet around the back tailgate and for the soft top bar clips. Almost there though. I haven't decided yet how I'm going to finish it all though. I want to make it stronger though. I'd like to be able to stand on it If I want to.

Looks good. What are you going to cover it with?

Same thing you covered yours in. By the way how big were your sheets of the hydro turf? I'm seeing sheets of 40x60".

I think thats the sheet I got. I pulled it off in one sheet. Remember to cut your wood about 1/4" smaller than youll want it so that when the turf is wrapped around it, it wont be to big.
