I'm 6'0" and a buddy of mine swapped in the WRX seats, whcih I thought about doing in mine.
I'm glad I sat in his...most uncomfortable seats for a bigger guy (then 305 lbs)...the high seat arch was a PITA to get in and out of and the side area at your mid section was uncomfortable!
Another small update!
Recently added the ARB front bumper and Apex Badlands 12k pound winch!
She’s growing up now!
(These pics don't show it, but the side ARB marker lights ARE installed and working...they weren't when the pics were taken)

Updated the front bumper to an ARB and added the Apex Badlands 12k lb winch (synthetic rope).
The winch was a PITA to get mounted properly…I was happy to have people who knew what they were doing and help.
She’s growing up so fast!
So...It's been a while.
Added the OME 2.5" lift
Started putting together/fitting the homemade drawer/cargo system - the side areas will be enclosed for additional storage. Ultimately, it will be carpeted on top to match the oak leather interior.

Buddy and I started the cargo/drawer system for my 1997 👍
Drawers will be 500lbs sliders…when finished, it’ll be sanded and stained, and then carpeted; the wheel wells are also being enclosed for additional storage. Drawers are custom with dividers.

Swapped out rear seats with cloth…

I’d say more like $15k
I looked at one in better condition, 148k miles, triple locked, and all stock in SF and he only wanted...
A couple of things…
Took the ol’ girl out towards the Swift Reservoir and then some forest roads to the south side of Mt. Saint Helens.
The change in light was DRAMATIC for both photos being 20 min apart.
I also picked up some more switches from the junkyard this weekend…the idea being that I...
Went to my local yard as I saw they had a 2000 Lexus ES300 in from a few days prior.
I made a beeline for it...and found that it hadn't been touched yet.
So, I grabbed the Hi/Lo heated seat switches to put into my console coin holders for when I either reupholster the factory seats, OR, change...
I changed my oil and added a new OEM air filter (The previous was NAPA)
I also went junk yarding for some small parts (Switches and the like)...
While at the yard, I think I found the seats I might want to swap out...either cloth seats from a Scion XB or leather with heated ability from a VW...
No, didn’t “ghost”
Family member went into the hospital for fluid around the heart, blood clots in the lungs, and not being able to breathe. Damn dude, sorry.
