  I just did this conversion myself and am not sure it was worth the trouble. 
  a. cutting them out was a huge job. 
  b. welding them in was expensive. 
  c. the added seat height makes the already low shift lever more of reach. 
  d. the armrests hit the door panels so I have to open the doors to swivel and 
  can only          shut the door again in limited seat positions. 
  e. the drivers seat only swivels to face the passenger seat because of the 
  steering   wheel. 
  f. the battery is less accessible and the planned auxiliary deep cycle has to 
  be mounted elsewhere because of the limited access. 
  g. the black doors that hinge over the battery and the drivers side under 
  seat area have to be cut to fit (I chose to have them removed altogether). 

  Just a few things you should be aware of before you do this mod.  I wish I 
  had known!
