    Need some opinions and some advice.

    Brand new factory JK-U soft top & windows!!! CHEAP!!

    1994 Land Rover Discovery with a few extras.

    Is the drawer system designed to remove the portion that occupies the back seat only? In other words, will the rear drawers remain if the rear seats are refitted? Thanks- nice job by the way...
