I realise that. Unfortunately, in New Zealand all Wranglers are sold with
rear seats and classed as four seat passenger vehicles.

I can change the specs and make it what I want, then I have to get it
certified as a "low volume vehicle" i.e. a lot of inspection fee and an
adjustment to my insurance premium for it being a special purpose
vehicle....

Complete and utter nonsense.

In order for an airbag to be effective, you *must* be wearing your
seatbelt - not doing so will often result in serious injury or even death as
a result of the driver/passenger being in the wrong position when the bag
inflates.

If the seat belt restraints work as designed the passengers will
never impact the steering wheel nor dash. Understand?

Yes I did. '02 Wrangler Sport with a back seat straight from the factory,
and it came with a passenger air bag cutoff switch standard.
