these are my thoughts, too. i'm looking for bench from bestop, they are fold and tumble and have a headrest. I've measured the bench of my cj, the lenght fits perfect. a custom frame made from angle iron is easy to made and with some sheetmetal you've a very nice toolbox under the seat.

why make things so complicated? use a second alternator, a 3rd battery and you're fine! with a cheap 66A alternator you have enough power to use working lights, cb, cooler and so on.

7 gauge wire (10mm²)
one wire from the starter (24V) to the fusebox

from the in side connected to the battery.
the main fuse is a 80A fuse
from the out side of the fuseboxes to a connection poin, made...

maybee its easier to climb...a higher tailgat means a lower step when its open...thats the only reason i can imagine. my dropside has also the high tailgate.
