    IMG_1602.jpg Bench seat has gotta go! So I went to the Junkyard and purchased seats and center console.
    IMG_1595.jpg So I installed bucket seats "with NO airbag" and a Center console from a 6 speed access cab "Holes are there for everything they're just under the carpet".
    IMG_1611.jpg And this is my truck now. I just got his Camper shell for it for $180 with roof rack!! Yes it came from an access Cab as well but it fits for me and my use for it!

    Lift and sound coming next.

    Ps: All of my Airbag lights and seatbelts light are off in the dash and works just fine. They cut off when they're supposed to and turn on when they're supposed to. So no annoying lights in the dash.

    Great job and looks great. How is it that the lights aren't malfunctioning? I just bought the seats and console from a junk yard also. I have not installed anything yet because I wanted to find out about the airbag situation. I am switching benches to bucket. My seats are from a regular cab 2014 and going into a regular cab 2014 so they have airbags. Do you have any idea what to do with the wiring?

    DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!
    Buckets from the same year truck,, i would think airbags would hook up. If it dosent hook up you can remove all the wiring from the bench seat "which is pretty simple if your careful". Otherwise like me i dont have Airbags in the seats so I went to radioshak and picked up some 10ohm 1/4watt resistors and a soldering iron for less than $10 bucks total. I twisted three 10ohm resistors together in Parallel to aquire the amount of ohms i need to "trick" the seat airbag which is 3.3ohms. Then insert them into the airbag plugs. Heat shrink or electrical tape it when your done...so ive transfered all the wire from my bench seat "except airbag of course" and also transfered the pressure blatter for the passenger seat occupancy into these seats. And be really carefull removing the passenger blatter!!!
    Its all really simple. Took me about 3-4 hrs to complete by myself

    Ps.. DONT USE A METER TO TEST AIRBAG REISTANCE!!!!
    They make 3.3 ohm resistors but are very hard to find unless ordered online.
