i was thinking of cutting the tailgate in half therfore allowing the top half with the window to open?? not sure yet.
it will be a pain to get stuff out of the back, but ill try not to put stuff behind the seats

yes she will be fully road registered and legal (i hope).
should be as im using the existing rear pillars. and where it is getting put will be stonger (in a roll over) than factory. but its getting a roll cage put in as well just in case

from the back of the jeep to the back doors is going to have a full rectangle steel frame to give the side strength and the sub fram more strength.
