The YJ only comes in a 2 door model made up of a one piece tub with a swing out rear tailgate. All models have a flip forward rear bench seat and two individual front folding foward seats.

87-91 models come equiped with the "sport style" roll bar. The rear bars come down from the main hoop at a 45* angle. The rear seatbelts for these models are lap belts mounted to the floor

92-95 models come with the "family style" roll bar. The rear bars form a 90* angle directly above the rear roll bar mount creating a overhead roll bar for the rear passangers. The rear seatbelts are now attached to the roll bar and are full 3 point belts rather than lap belts.
