    Vehicle:
    '02 Tacoma, '97 3000GT
    5100s, Icon 3 AAL, Custom-built front/rear bumpers, Hybrid seats, 3000GT modified intake box, toolbox, D-rings
    Custom fab'ed half of the taco's seats.

    I really like the support I get in the 3000gt seats. I first wanted to swap seats but with electrical wiring, bolts not lining up, etc it just would not be easy AND wouldn't be nearly as safe.

    So I did this:

    took the base seat out:

    IMG_7843_bb20747d17041a5f78136f1369c1f044b08e3395.jpg

    then took the metal frame of the 3000GT seat out and drilled holes to match the bolt holes in the tacoma seats:

    IMG_7844_db5a96357c9fc794cb8909212abefaa5aa2be832.jpg

    to make it fit like such:

    IMG_7845_eb4771b4a801d3bf1474ab4781d21c046286ca84.jpg

    so now it can fully bolt in:

    IMG_7846_1c271d667e6965814c6b1635a5a043d61958263c.jpg

    with washer/nut on the backside to secure it:

    IMG_7849_54b1de349a0c74a7afcbe82f061cbec9d23cfa58.jpg

    and so fully installed in place they are 100% secured and plugged in. Now I have the side support and amazing cushion of the 3000GT without the loss in safety :)

    IMG_7851_4f0c369be935a2a12df91f2d600a9edfe05f229f.jpg


    yeah they are two-tones but idc, sitting down now is like... well... very pleasurable ;)

    oh and these are seats from a 3000GT I parted out, not from the VR4 just fyi :p

    Yeah something like that. Kinda missed a corner and got the ass a little wide and crossed up and the rear wheel hit a ninja rock hiding behind a bush. I'll post the vid later. Ninja:

    I'm anti bro. I'd rather buy a new wheel. :D

    Tire looks good. I didn't investigate too much tho. It was raining and I was in the middle of nowhere.

    Pounded the crap out of my stock skid plates to get them close to the right shape so I could put them back on until I get real ones.

    Probably not. The BB is currently my 2nd choice, but could easily drop to my 3rd choice if things go as I hope. We'll see.
