...so... bulletproofing for the van?

Gim mi ma monet!

 

A heavy duty umbrella stand for the beach that won't blow away?

 

Nice looking base you built for the cases too

 

You can have the plate. Just pay shipping

 

Lol, people are funny. People see quality and they want to figure out a way to make it work for their needs.
I've always thought FJ80s and FZJ80s would be great for first time drivers if I ever had kids. The FJ80 maybe a lil more so. Very safe and reliable vehicles. Terrible gas mileage so you know your kid won't be driving too far with his teen job money and the FJ80 is super slow, and the 4.5L in the FZJ80 isn't a speed demon either but tons ahead of the 4.0L in FJ80

 

Yeah especially the hundy. Those feel so solid, from shutting the doors to hitting potholes... Feel very heavy and sturdy.

 

Well my sewing skills may not be that great, but it should last until I can get some Wet Okoles on these. Was hoping to not have to do it, but the material is getting thin in some spots on the drivers side, may not last too much longer before it looks like crap.

 

do you know how many miles (approx) were on the new-to-you seats?

 

197k. Going on a truck with 75k. It hurts me a bit to get rid of my rip free split bench, but the convenience of that bucket seat/center console setup will be well worth it.

 

do these have the lumbar support lever? (mine is on the right side)

 

Nope.

 

that must just be on the Limited model trucks seat, are those hard to find (either new or from a donor salvaged)
Amanda at Camelback parts told me the part in my seat (that is currently giving me issues) there is only 1 left in the country on her database, and that it would have to be authorized to be released... whatever that means!!

... may have to contract @Running Man to custom weld a new one (if that's possible)

 

So when I get my 01-04 center console, will all the bolt holes already be under my carpet since I have an 04? Just gotta find them and cut or what?

 

Are you a single cab or ext cab? The bolt holes should be there, but you might need to drill one or two out.

Keep in mind you need the special 2001-2004 center console bracket. It's shaped like a long and skinny 'S'.

 

It was built to hold a carousel horse according to the owner. That thing was overbuilt to hell, 1/4in steel for the bottom, roughly 4x3 feet. 3/8ths steel bracing to hold the center shaft, and a 2.5" diameter steel tube in the center. Miguel wants to build a welding table out of it.

When he didn't immediately say "no" to the guy he already ran to turn on his forklift to get it into my truck

Like so:

 

I only ever see ford means about engine power and reliability. All the dodge memes are just about tow mirrors and never see chevy ones other then ones saying ford is better then chevy lol

@Blue92 @Running Man

I got a full tank of pure Argon out of the deal. When would you use that as shielding gas versus C25? Figured I wouldn't waste my C25 learning and just use the tank of Argon.

 

@BartMaster1234 do you know how the stock bucket seats' brackets come off? Im thinking of keeping my stock passenger seat in the truck. And using the really nice passenger bucket I got today as the drivers seat since the drivers bucket I got isnt as nice. I would just need to swap the drivers bracket with the passenger side. You following my train of thought?
