Hey Kevin,
Very quick and it's amazing just how much room it gives you. After I removed the seats I threw all my fishing rods and tackle boxes in and it fit like a charm. No worries now about something shifting and a rod getting broken. At 6'-2" I can even throw a air mattress in the back and strech out with my feet at the back of the front seats, instant campsite if needed.

Greetings,
Thanks for that 04W, GREAT tip that I may try for the next run down to FL.... BUT hold on a sec', fishing rods and tackle box?????? Hey man, it's going to be -15 for the rest of the week in Ft. McMurray with snow forcast for the end of the week. I hope you're talking ICE fishing! If not you're making me real mad 'cause I'm just waiting for the Rideau River to open so I can catch some Black Crappie......Sorry, TRY to catch some Black Crappie...

I was just checking to see if the rods would fit across instead of strapping a PVC tube to my hi-lift holder. Ice fishing, you can't fool me I have an ice maker in the fridge don't need to go catch any. ;)
I use a hitch rack when me and the gf are travelling so I may try and fit the small seat into one of the bins, it's usually ony the two of us in the Jeep though so leaving them at home won't be a big problem.
Hey Crazy, saw another mod you would probably like, a Budwieser mini keg tap as a shifter, not sure how he worked the OD and shift buttons into it though, he also had a hand grenade as the shifter handle on his TC.

Hiya 04W,
OK, I'll let you off with a warning... this time...Thanks a bunch again, for the tip. If it ever warms up here (-10 this morning) I think I'll try it.
