I don't mind anyone 'thumping', but what I get a laugh out of is when on the outside, all you hear is the muffled thumping and all the vibrating and ratteling panels and such 
Even when the windows are down, there is still all the rattling going on.. Never found that very impressive, no matter how hard it thumped...
I like good, deep bass as much as the next guy and I've had my share of 12" woofers in past vehicles, so I know how it sounds...
In the back seat of an Extended Cab, it probably doesn't rattle all that much..
The worst ones are cars with them in the trunk and it's the deck lid that's doing all the vibrating and rattling...
When I had a set in my '86 5.0 GT in the back, the hatch would rattle if it got really loud.. I put in some more weather stripping to make for a tighter seal and that helped, but I also had to push down on the hatch to get it to latch each time it was opened.... Got tired of that after a couple of years, so the 12" subs went away as did the extra stripping.. Heck, I've still got 'em... Hummm.... :o

Ive had my big, eliminating all the back of the truck systems, but it does not accomodate my family now. Ive resorted to a custom enclosure that holds my 12" L7, and it will still pound, and you can hear me from 3 blocks away no problem. Just remember all the bass in the world is nice, as long as you have the mids and high's to go with it. Nobody likes distorted non-balanced sound.
It does look good man, keep up the good work!

Yea, - I think I lifted them about 3". I did it about 4 years ago, - I'm surprised how good it still sounds. Running an old Super tuner as well. I need to update my receiver so I can plug my iPhone and iPods into it. I'm not sure how to do that without the plug in port.
How tall are your speakers? Those look huge!! I can just imagine the bass lol..

BS.... 
I'll bet when you first got it setup, you cranked it up for all your buddies! We ALL have done that! 
Sure it is.. I didn't say it wasn't and I didn't say they 'all' rattle.... I never even said that the OP's rattled.. Only that when I hear 'someone' who is thumping hard, but all you hear on the outside is the buzz and rattle, then I find that funny and unimpressive...
A guy comes thru our neighborhood every night and he's thumping to beat the band, but the first thing you hear as he starts up the street is the buzz and rattle and then the next thump and more buzz and rattle! It's also a very poorly done 'ricer' car, but the guy is obviously 'proud' of it!

The rear seats are different in the 98 model Wes. I believe they changed them either in 99 or 2000. Mine have a strap.

There 12" fosgate p3 dvc 800 rms. They are in the box designed by fosgate for those subs. It has the designs and specs on the side. I have a 1000 watt hifonics amp pushing it.
All of my doors are dynomated. And i haved tracked down every little rattle. From the outside its still a deep crisp loud bump and as for my highs and mids each door has a 150 watt pioner (piece of crap) and a tweeter hooked into crossovers. I just got a new amp in for the highs and mids and i have much better door speakers on the way.

She likes my system in must vibrate her cooter the right way... not that you would know anything about that.
And it sounds pretty damn good. I have some new door speakers ordered thru the local stereo shop and a amp to push them so i can get my highs and mids up to par with my bass.... Ill get a video up when i get a chance.
Jbrew.. did you have to lift your back seats up?
