Knee replacement Wednesday so I'm out

Ouch. Good luck, Kelly. Let me know if you kneed anything.

Sizing down from what?

Just a heads up, Rival is closing these out for $999 with free FedEx ground shipping. I bought a 2016 last night to replace my 2008 and turn back the mileage clock some, and ordered one this morning. Must be a sign!

Perfect road trip vehicle. 😁

Yesterday I went hunting for a sub fuel tank for the Holy Truck--with Iota. I was a little apprehensive because I had not driven the truck in the better part of a year, but it did just fine apart from a crapped out battery, and I succeeded in...

Hey All, AJ is hosting this one at his shop! Day: August 31st (close enough) Time: 9:30am Location: AJ’s YOTAS - 2301 W Whitestone blvd, Cedar Park

I see my old FJ73 there.....

Planted is going to swap the brackets with another set for a 70 that is closer to my measurements.

I did manage to find the hidden third mounting hole on the passenger side that's used with bucket seats. The first try was pretty much dead on. I used an 1/8" bit at first and then a step bit.

They finally contacted me last week. I'm sending them some detailed measurements today.

I was able to contact them directly and they custom fabricated my passenger seat bracket. Kind of annoying because I had to pay return shipping but I understand that they advertise these as "should fit". I think there is something different...

Some seats out of a 2011 BMW (e90).

Looking through the forum, I see that people have had similar issues. Hmm.

Ugh. I wanted to save time by spending money on Planted Technologies seat brackets and they are off. Well, the passenger side at least. I haven't tried the driver side yet. I reached out to them last week and still haven't gotten a reply. I...

Since my dome light wire has long since disappeared down the passenger side B pillar, here’s a shot to remind me in the future that there are two channels… One tubed and one free.

So I've got a steering wheel shimmy that only appears at 70-75 KPH. No vibrations slower or faster. Shakes less when accelerating, more when coasting, about a half inch shimmy travel each direction on the steering wheel. What kind of gremlin...

It's more than meets the eye.

It's just a truck. 😁

Well, that’s pretty cool.

Some more shots ...

I'd guess freight on these is probably $500+ because of the bulk and requiring 2+ pallet positions; it's essentially the footprint of a prius.

I'm questioning how likely it is I'm really going to use it in a way that I need the pop top.

North Carolina and Seattle. Why are you guys so far from me!
