Seats, roll cage, etc pics

[Green Monster]

Finally got the Green Monster back today. Cross Enterprises in Newbury Park, CA did a great job. Line-Xd the tub, fabbed the roll cage, rear bumper, and seat mounts. Powder coated both bumpers and roll cage to match the wheels and top. Installed early 2000s Suburban front buckets and third row seat. Used all of the factory holes for all seats, and for the rear he welded the factory mounts onto the square tube mount so I can fold down/ remove. Moved it back a little too for leg room. Next up, a few fixes (still have some steering play....fuel line, master cylinder). Then smog, alignment and it will be on the road. Body and paint probably Nov/Dec.

@brans87 search @K30Blazer posts, he has a how to thread here in the Garage on putting an 00-07 3rd row seat in a Blazer. He also included downloadable plans for the floor brackets.

Yeah it will work, just the mounting bracket will be different. Yours probably has the stock folding seat.

Thanks! If anyone is doing it, make sure you get the "hooks" that the seat clips into from the donor vehicle. Makes the fab work much easier.

Alright, more pics of the rear bumper

That turned out real nice. Hey can you post pics of the brackets for the rear seat? I just picked on up that's the same vintage and I'm looking for ideas.

Here are some more pics, little hard to see cuz everything is black. He just welded the factory hooks to square tube, and bolted that to the factory holes.

nice looking cage, but looks like it headroom might be an issue.

Thanks.....and nope, plenty of headroom. I sat in the back and it was fine. I'm 5'11".

i was thinking head room for the driver, but i'm 6'4" so guess you have a lot more room

The top bar is far enough to the side, and back bar far enough back that it should be fine. And the driver seat is power so it can go down a little too.
