Default Spare on roofrack & 3rd row seat

You can see the 3rd row seat from the back in this picture:




Spare on roofrack using special bracket. Had it for two days. Not sure I like it up there all the time (just when I need it). Possibly related... much worst drive line vibration with stock drive shafts at highway speeds. Manufacturer of roofrack does not recommend such a heavy tire up there long term. But visibility out back is awsome!!!

Very nice JK. I have a 2 dr. I threw my spare in the back and took out the rear seat, considering the 2dr really isn't meant for back seat passengers. But, I always wanted to throw the spare on the top. I feel only the 4dr looks good with a spare on the top rack. Very nice set up!

And, the third row seat... way cool. I think you're the only one with that. Touche.

Had that Idea floating for a while and now that I see It... I like it


I would make my own custom rack and make it beefy could you possibly make it any stronger? maybe reinforce it somewhere

I love your Jeep btw I have pics of it on my comp

That is some weight going up and down there Funwagon. I'm not sure I would be taking it up and down.

Does look good up there, and I like the rear seat.

More pictures... more open... (finally a hot day... opened her up a bit after work for the drive home )

Yah el campede... I got all 100lbs of it up there by myself... and with the help of a folding picnic table... Maybe I can carry the folding table on the roof when I go to Rausch ... I wonder if I throw it from up there what I would destroy on the way down... I would have to through it far enough down hill so it doesn't bounce back at my Jeep (just kidding about the whole throwing). With three people it should be easy.

Upper doors stored in bag on roof.






Three rows of seating


Third row
