I’m anti-radio in the 40’s. The red 45 has a Bluetooth setup and I’m excited to rip it out.Surely one of Lockwood’s builds is getting this:
For Sale - Bluetooth Stereo 100% Hidden, only takes up the space of a dash knob! (Custom knob included)
I’d be down for a couple of the higher power ones as well if there are extras still!forum.ih8mud.com
It’s like playing music on the beach or at the campfire at night.
When John ordered the Scheel Mann seats he also ordered a round of matching material for the jump seats. We had the frames torn down and powder coated and my local upholstery guy made up some beautiful seats
When you drive this thing the carpet likes to fly up and scare the crap out of you. I am trying some magnets to keep it down. John has a nice OEM rubber mat at home but this will stay under it for the heat and sound properties.
Looks complete now.

Very, very nice. Everything.
One of my favorites build I’ve seen on mud. Great work.
Thank you very much. I wish every 40 owner could drive it. It’s truly incredible.

What mat is on the rear floor?
It’s a very nice mat set @thecrazygreek purchased. Maybe he can tell us.

They look dense like Coco
Thats a Floyd mat sold by Cruiser Corps. They have rubber and carpet. 4 colors iirc. Not bad for $120.
Did you all do the OEM handbrake mod after all?

@wngrog is at some gathering of the pigs or something. I’m not sure if it got delivered yet but they were supposed to finish and ship last week.
Buttoning up my punch list on Mustard today.
Added a dimmer knob to the Dakota.
Added some trim around the stock radio.
Added a Wilwood brake prop valve
Got the steering wheel straight.
Parking brake cable is still on the bench in Cali.
Big week for Mustard. Stay tuned.

First time I’ve put it in 4 Low. Had a little shifter interference and fixed that.
Also I think the front output is flexing enough in the motor mounts to tap the crossmember when you kit the gas hard in 4WD. I’ll have to pull it off and add some room.
