    That might not be possible, since they took off the sliders, and I don't think the sliders from a bench seat would work/fit on bucket seats. I do know you would have to keep your seatbelts, since the metal buckle doesn't fit into the bucket seat receptacles. Then there is the issue if you have seat airbags, I don't think those are plug and play. And the weight sensors, would need to be transferred over from the bench seat to the bucket seat.
    I hope this is helpful, since I never actually went from a bench seat to buckets, as my truck came from the factory with bucket seats, and I put in seats from a 2016 TRDOR.

    Does this go over the seats or do you replace the cloth with the wet Okole?

    I know you didn't aske me, but they go right over the seats. They are great seat covers, but not cheap.

    Goes over and fits like a glove. Has sturdy snap buckles that go across underneath in both directions. Transforms the comfort level of the seats like you wouldn't believe. there are map pouch, gun pouch, heater options and more. Mine are just charcoal with no piping and no logos and have the zippered map pockets on back. The same thickness and material all around the seat, not just on seating part with thin crap elsewhere. Cheap doesn't get stuff that lasts for decades.........

    Well I just cant seem to find the right spring rate. The 450x14" springs were far too soft and caused coil bind when adjusted to the right height from a 14" spring to 10" under weight, now I'm on 550x14 and they feel super stiff, they are cranked way too much however. Problem is the Allen bolt I need to loosen the adjuster has the tip of one of my Allen keys broken off inside lol. There's no winning, this should be a sign that LT is in my future

    Sorry to ignore your spring rate problem... but, those fenders and the grey with black trim! I love those headlights too. Your truck looks fantastic! Wow, really nice.

    You have way to much preload on those. Preload is a ride killer. I think your going the wrong way. I’m on 700lb springs and it feels just right.

    I had the 600lb coils that came with the kings and the ride was terrible for me, the 550's I have now dont feel too bad but still super stiff. I can crank down the passenger side but not the drivers, that's why they are still under so much preload

    Time to put the 600s back on and toss a huge winch in that bumper.

    I let out some preload and let them break in today. Pretty stoked actually. didn't loose any height and the ride quality really improved, plus I'm back in spec to avoid coil bind, 12" of spring length at ride height from 14", essentially at 2.5" of lift 20190917_165327.jpg

    Bought the new Canon 90D DSLR and took a quick picture while in miniature mode.
    I'll have to take a better one. Still learning (messing around with) this camera.

    I wish I knew about this much sooner. Lower radiator support bushings are totally shot. Almost a full inch of play, no wonder my whole front end moves and squeaks. Energy suspension on Amazon sells poly bushings for under 30 bucks, after looking it up I see 3rd gen guys even have this problem. Easy fix pretty cheap maybe its been known but this is new to me

    Lol my buddy just got his SAS project all done on his 3rd gen pickup. The broke the rti ramp out and I couldn't resist. I cant remember my exact score but it was only in the mid/high 500's lol. I know when I've been outclassed. The shop owner has a sas 2uz swapped 1st gen on 40's with a 23" frame height and made it to the top of the ramp too..

    This happened on my dad's 1st gen 5lug. It wasnt abused or anything just wore out the shifter seat after about 125K miles. He said it took about half and hour to replace the stuff.
    I think it still shifted smoothly it would just randomly pop out of 5th gear.

    Tired of overheating cheap housings with HID and one of them sucking in moisture sooooooooo......went with morimoto XB LEDs. I know, not the best cutting edge whatever nowadays but nice clean plugnplay no square pod in a round hole thing. They'll be fine for my uses. Just hoping to be done chasing wet one on passenger side, whatever the F on that. Been thru 3 sets and same crap. The vents in fender liner on that side have been covered for long time, way before this crap started. Am not driving thru anything crazy other than rain, no deep water. Don't get it. Hoping it was just cheap housings sucking it in as light cooled after turning them off. The bulbs seem to seal fine and never happened on driver side. Was 35w HID, not 55w either. Dunno, but sure hoping these are the cure for that mess........little less chrome too
