    These saws look great brand new. I also modified the seat mounts. Passenger side. I ended up cutting two of the floor pieces and re welding them back on. Driver I just widened the holes a bit and I was able to get it on. Driver wasn’t as bad as the passenger.

    After 5 tries I got it done. I drew out how the links are going to move straight up and down. I set this up with 35’s in mind with 16” coilovers and 18” bypasses. It’s looking like I’m going to have to cut or smash the bottom of the cab about 1/2” to 3/4” to clear for springs.

    These numbers are just a base line to start off with. Once the shocks get here. I’ll be able to fine tune the numbers. The link mounting location is set in stone. I’ll have to keep those points I set because my anti-squat and roll axis.

    I just found out that I’m not working tomorrow. But that can always change. I won’t know for sure until 4Pm. But to answer you. Nope and nope.

    That was one of my greatest joys as a valet was farting in ferraris and lambos

    I remember one time I asked for help on a cold day in the garage. Some guys stepped up to the plate. I don’t forget the ones that where kind to me when my truck was bone stock. That’s all I’m going to say. I need to get back to work. Takes time putting in a cage even if it’s made out of pvc. See ya tomorrow gents

    Hey now that I have the seats and the mounts in the taco. Be glad you went with the wider seats. Don't be upset about the mounts. I'm going to have to modify my mounts a 2nd time now. The seat sits very high. I'm going to have to figure out how much lower I need to go and lower them. Would of been better to build my own mounts and save the cash.
