Default Removal of rear bench seat to facilitate 2 offroad buckets seats

I've been thinking of ways to make the rear seat more comfortable for all driving conditions as i find myself driving all over the place with friends and family. I was wondering if it would be possible (semi-easily) to remove the rear bench seat and place 2 corbeau racing style bucket seat in the back. i've always like the look of these seat and i of course would replacet he front 2 as well. I realize some of you will hate, and say that it's not needed and yadda yadda yadda. but it's my jeep. just want to know if anyone has seen it done or are thinking of the same thing. 4-5 point harness will also be replacing the regular seat belts. which brings me to my next question.... where in the worl are people ancoring these for front seat application and still have a useable rear seat?

Help me out, tell me what you think!

Wow. that didn't take long did it?! glad to hear that it's not an original idea. I wasn't so invested in this idea that i would fabricate brackets myself. Awesome!

Sorry to Necro this thread, but is there room between the mastercraft seats to relocate the stock center console? I have the Tuffy box up front now and a barely used stock center that I could modify if it would fit.

We have two Baja RS seats in our JKU with a stock center console, no problem.
