Update: Got the DS rear fenderwell done. Looks pretty cool - framed it in and used some clear acrylic inserts to allow rear passengers to see through portions of the fenderwell. I picked up a Sammi rear seat for the back and it fits perfect! I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Next up is rocker guards/mini-exo and the tube/8274 mount for the frontend. I've also got some sweet acura-type heated leather seats to toss in there

Here are some pics of the framed fenderwells. I welded a piece of diamond tread in the forward part and rear corners, and framed the rest with 1/4" strap and 1/4" angle. Turned out nice and super stout I think. There will be two lexan "windows" on the face of each fenderwell, and two lexan inserts flush mounted to the top of each as well. I need to drill the holes, repaint everything with hammerite, and then rivet the lexan in place. I'm going to use PL400 adhesive as well between the lexan and metal to keep water out, and also seal around the seams with clear silicone.

The rear seat is a fold and tumble unit out of a Samurai, I had to make a little "spacer" for the bottom bracket so the seat would sit up higher and allow room in the corner for my Powertank. Hopefully it'll look better when painted The PS was a little tricky but I got it figured out. I'll take some more pics when it's all finished up.

That's kinda cool...

Finally finished up the rear fenderwells and took the kids for a ride yesterday. It's much cozier with everything sealed up back there. I should have looked harder for some clear weatherproof adhesive but I had some PL400 construction adhesive laying around so thats what I used to stick and seal the lexan, along with rivets. Came out pretty nice I think. The rear sammi seat sits 3 kids nicely with seatbelts.

The kids found the roof net handy for keeping their blankets clean.

The Powertank fits nicely behind the rear seat. and the axe and shovel stay out of the way.
