I highly, highly doubt it. I even had to build in the slides out of the old front seats so that her short scrawny legs could reach the pedals...

Here's a pic showing the amount we cut in the begining during a mock up stage. WE actually cut up more to just behind the front seats, but left the framerails the same length. The rear seat is 36" wide & fits my 6 & 11 year old boys snugly. I wouldn't want to stuff 2 adults back there for long unless their names were Loren & Andy...

Leaving for BOTW this Friday so you won't have to wait long. Looks like I chose the wrong tires though. I may need to go find me some boggers. I HATE MUD.

My thoughts exactly.....

Looks good, so if you shortened the rear seating area did you loose wheelbase or just get more cargo area?

The rear seat is in the "stock" location. The floor is just reworked under it. I flipped the rear springs around & am at 109" wheel base for those steep climbs.
