I'm going to take all the seats out and keep driver and passenger, and line the floor with something first as I will go crazy ripping our door cards, headliner, and plastics before I chop.

If I chopppp zzzz tawp....I'm gonna flat bed the rear with boat sides and integrated storage and keep a 4 seat cab.

I'll get good pics of the sliders up tonight if I get a break from rain.
