    Yeah but how much weight is the trailer and sleds? You might try a dry pull before you through the work of putting back on. I was pulling a trailer this summer with about 4000 lbs of rock in it, no swaybar no issues.

    Hey Jace

    Do you have any pictures of your seat install... specifically the bracket modifications?

    I have a lead on some 2005 Subaru Forester XT seats and am wondering how big of a PITA it is to make the swap. Mind you I don't have a welder, grinder or the skills to weld... :)

    Thanks man.

    I'm 6' even.

    I honestly would love to take you up on your offer of testing out your seats first.

    All these seat choices sound good in theory but I'm not about to spend money on seats my ass hasn't tested out first.

    I would also like to proposition this: If I do end up pulling the trigger on these seats would you be willing to do the seat install with/for me? Of course I'd pay you for your time.

    been kinda busy building my new snowmobile but i did get around to wiring up my seat heaters! I had the factory wiring and switches from the forester. fairly easy install, cuting the holes was tricky. But came out real good! had to extend the wiring for the passengers seat but no biggie. I got heat!

    P.S. Jace - Get those Blacked Out headlights. They would look great with the Panda look. Only now we will need to call it the Storm Trooper Panda!:D
