    Thanks guys! Most of my inspiration came from Besrk at JEEPForum.com. He has an excellent thread for this type of bumper/tire carrier. I just adapted it to an early CJ. I decided to do my own latch, which works very well, but If I had to do it over again, I'd design it to pull over past center to latch. Oh well...
    Got more pics if you want 'em :)

    Dan - I'll post up more pics of the seat/storage here:

    You sure do nice work. I can see you're not afraid of grinding those welds down to make 'em look nice and clean. That really shows a craftsmans attention to detail!
