Gramp's Old Guy Build - Agnus the GX

Damn those look nice!​

 

comfy, do they recline?

 

Looks like you left your penis pumps sitting on them.

 

Thanks dude.

Yes they do. And I ordered heat in them as well. I also ordered them in "wide" for my fluffiness.

Hahaha. No those are the lumber support bladder pumps. Once I have them set where I want them I can hide those.

 

Will these seats affect airbag operation?

 

I have done some research and asked other members here about this. I have resolved the possible issues for both my passenger seat and my driver seat. Keep in mind, my tacoma is a 2007. I have weight sensors in the passenger seat and the drivers side only has the position sensor. I do not have side airbags in the factory seats.

The process requires the Metal Tech Airbag module(arrived Friday) and some custom mounting.

 

And we are done! Install was a long day on Saturday but it went well thanks to some help from @Kappes03 and some great input from @thefatkid. I did run into one issue.... the new seat brackets do not allow the drivers seat to move far enough for my comfort. Its not bad, but for long road trips its not optimal. So I have looked over the brackets and have a solution planned for next weekend to fix the drivers seat for my long as leg comfort. Simple too considering everything else that went into swapping seats.

Key thing to keep in mind, my Tacoma is a 2007. So it does not have side airbags to deal with. So if you are considering a seat swap and you do have side seat air bags do some research on solutions to that first.

Installed parts:

• Corbeau LG1 Wide seats with optional lumber support and heated seats.
• Corbeau seat brackets
• Metal Tech Airbag bypass module for weight sensors in passenger seat.

Note - Drivers seat has a postion sensor that does not have an "easy button" to allow you to swap seats. I was advised to remove the sensor system and brackets from the stock seat and re-install them on the new seat bracket. This is no easy task and should not be attempted if you have doubts. My guess is this is one reason very few have changed out their seats.

On to the photo dump.

 

Very nice Eric. Interested to see what you think about them after a long bumpy road.

 

Dope man! Can’t wait to get mine installed on the Jeep.

 

How’s the ride with the Eibachs? Looking to do the same to Kristin’s Runner. Doubt you can really compare to the stock ride since Petra’s sat stock for about 4 minutes but ride comfort would be a priority for K

 

Just tad stiffer since they are lift springs. But the ride remains awesome.

 

So quick update on the seats - Corbeau got back to me and let me know they have a seat bracket adapter that allows you to relocate the rails back 4 inches. This will allow me the needed leg room I had with the OEM seats and all will be well for the driver. Should arrive before Saturday and I will get it installed this weekend.

 

Sweet.

Next will be replacing those god awful running boards!

 

So initial longer drive in the seats today (45 min) to the airport. The heated seats are awesome. Actually get really hot and have to drop them to low. Seat holds me in place and I feel more connected to the truck. Firm but comfy. My current seat postion is too close for my comfort but that will get fixed with the adapter that Corbeau is sending me this week. Hope to install this weekend. One thing for sure with firmer seats, you cannot keep your wallet in your back pocket for very long.

 

Some new juice and a little wire cleanup today.

 

So you wanna do mine or...

 

Those are cool terminals. Does that battery not have posts? Or are they on the side?

 

the post are replaced by the screw holding the terminal to the battery......

 

What are you needing done? Shoot me a text.

I incorrectly ordered this battery. It comes with a standard posts instead of SAE posts. I originally picked up some SAE posts that screw on to the standard post but then opted for these terminals from Xplicit Audio instead.

Kind of. This particular post is a different model number from Odessy. Typically used in more Marine applications. Since this is a group 31M battery I missed the model number by one letter and ended up with this battery instead of one with SAE posts.
