Garden gnomes took over your jeep too? I've got a few myself - I hope 3 car seats fit across the rear seat with the doors on. If I leave the doors off my CJ, my boy climbs inside and hangs out there.

Hahahah!

Good news is that you can get 3 across in a JL! You will need to get a more narrow car seat like the Diono Radian, but they'll fit! We have two Diono's and a regular sized one and they fit fine. Only problem are that those seats are not cheap!

No kidding?! That's basically the same setup as our Lil clan. Except we got twin 2yr olds.

Jeep and a dog your kids are going to crazy w/ it happening in the same year for you guys! Good times!

BTW are you from NorCal? The 707 is our area code out here.
Nope. In 1997 in 8th grade I was in an intro to programming class. We had to go make a hotmail account. I wanted steffen@hotmail and it wasn't available, so hotmail suggested steffen707, lol I have long since abandoned that email, but the number lives on.

So that was my race number in auto-x, and its just kinda stuck with me since.

I think best top was discussing releasing a soft top that fit this need. I’m definitely looking forward to it.

That's how I envision a soft top. The other would be using a bed rack as an exo-skeleton. If it had removable panels like a soft top, but with the roll bars on the outside, then mechanical attachment along the bed.

Hey what's the used market like there? Understood that shipping makes original price high, but what about sales between people?
