LOTSOFTOYS PANDA BUILD

so here are a few pics from yesterday.... glad i got it all done. but now i think imay have a wheel bearing goin....

first is while iwas replacing the valve cover gaskets, second and third show the new shocks with the lift enhancer kit and new axles. last is the final product . rides really nice with the new shocks, and it runs great!

 

how's that wallet feel? haha

 

not too great.... really want seats! but skids will save me someday

 

so i did a bunch of research and found out wrx seats fit into our tacos fairly easily. so..... i searched cl for a bit, and found some pristine forester xt seats! this is the turbo model so the seats are very similar to wrx sat, except..... these have leather bolsters and are heated!!!!!!! attacked the truck today, had to widen some holes and make some brackets. alot of work,but so worth it. didn't take any pics during the process, was in the zone lol.... but the finished product was way worth it. the seats sit about an inch higher, but i don't mind. adjustable lower back is amazing! once belted in, my body stays stable. cant wait to go wheelin!!!!!

 

Nice seats, that gives me a pretty nice idea

 

dude, i dig em. alot ofwork, igot metal shavings everywhere lol but so worth the change

 

How much did you pick the seats up for if you don't mind me asking, I might want to do this because my driver seat is wearing out

 

i stole them from this guy, paid 180 for seats and complete wiring for heaters

 

Awesome, and they are heated, guess its time to get looking on craigslist

 

do it!

 

look what came in today! my budbuilts!

 

holy week of upgrades batman!

 

no kidding huh! i told you. id have seats and skids by moab....

 

so got my buds all painted flat black like the rest od the truck. but the sticker wouldnt stick to my paint, ran out of ideas so i ended up with the graphity look. eh, its different i like it

 

some recent pics from wheelin this weekend!

 

Those new seats are wicked! Makes me wish I took out my Audi racing seats from my old totalled ride :/

 

thanx man! completely different truck dude, id seriously move seats to the top of your mod list. makes it so much better

 

Yeah RIGHT! I'm still sittin stock height and wheels. The seats can come after I at least step my game up a bit on the exterior

Still gotta get some ill bumpers too

But- I def might change them up one day- It would be nice to be a bit more hunkered in with sick sport seats though!

 

exactly why i did it... i am tall and skinny, those factory seats suck. my back always hurt wheelin. but now im locked in to the seat, and no more back problems with the lumbar support if u ever got any questions man on my build dont hesitate to ask man... good luck with your future build!

 

Solid man, I will definitely pick your brain about suspension. How are you liking your setup?? Did you end up doing top plate spacers to stay level?
