    I'm trying to figure out how you mounted the fenders with the tube just sticking straight up. Do you have threads in the tube?

    PRP seats came back in today after they had to redo an issue with the custom logo. Did a quick test fit. Excited to get them in and the cage finished up. For anyone interested, stock TRD sport seats are 47.6 lbs. PRP podium elites are 22.8. figure a couple pounds of steel to tie them to the cage, and you're still at 25 lbs.

    Both your seats weighed the same? I think it was my drivers seat that was significantly heavier.

    Haven't pulled the driver yet. I'll let you know. I'm sure the lumbar mechanism adds a few pounds.

    And that’s not factoring dumping the back seats. Easy 50lbs saved dumping them for a 3rd.

    When my little one is out of a car seat, I'm going to see if I can fit a PRP 3 seat bench with 5-points. Even that would weigh nothing compared to what's there. If I can't fit that, it'll be two more podiums. My minds blown with these seats, and I haven't even done anything with them yet.

    I eyed up a bench from PRP as well! I think you could fit one pretty easily.

    You will really appreciate them even more with some seat time. They are so comfy and supportive for long days behind the wheel. You will also find the benefits of the tweed rather quickly!

    Done that already. Living the regular cab life vicariously through my double cab. Jokes aside, it's been on the list for a long time to replace the fronts; the cost of getting new seats is really the only reason i haven't yet
