DIY 60/40 JL seat delete braket

[Jay]

I guess most of you know that you need a braket to hold the small seat in place if you remove the larger section and thats one expensive braket lol.... all in all took about an hour to make and a few beers for the welder lol

I took a piece of angle iron 10 inches long, cut one side and bent it

the bolt for the seat lines up right about where the cut in the angle iron is

friend tacked the bolt that fits into the seat for test
He filled the rest, cleaned up the weld a bit, I painted it. voila,
yes I have to clean the threads because I forgot to mask them lol

Gotta ask as a jl owner what did you take the larger portion out for?

Kwill, its for a jeep wrangler 2018 and up, Mike, Im making room to put a platform for storage/bed that will go around the smaller seat. I really wanted to keep one extra seat in case we need it for someone.
