I had to adjust the fitment of my front end.

The hood tells it all.... it has minimal side to side adjustment. So it was hanging off passenger side apron by 1/2 inch .

So to fix this I loosen all the bolts on the fenders, apron, bib and front mount for bib. And then pushed them over to where the hood was square with everything and the tighten them back up.

@MOTOV8R Yeah, I probably should have, but I just decided to put a pretty "band aid" over it!! :hillbilly:

I'm not even sure what kind of seats they are..... the seat bracket/frame is stock but I don't have a clue as to the seats.

The seat covers are aftermarket and they are really durable. The seats have been in the shed for 2 years and were full of dirt and bugs. So I cleaned them up with Super Clean and Bleach White!! Boy, they are clean now!!
 
Ladies and gentlemen come take a ride in the worlds greatest off road vehicle. Proven over seven continents. Step right up and have a seat... any seat... well, except the one on the fence and behind the wheel!!

I'll even let you listen to the radio... well that will be extra, of course. :hillbilly:

For what is worth..... Im not a big fan of the CCOT console

1. I don't like that I paid approximately $300 dollars for it.
2. You have to open the whole lid to do anything to the radio. It really is a pain in the
arse.

I will upgrade later to a Tuffy console.

I know you won't mind but I have ta say:

"I'm a stock kind of guy."
Yeah, I'm not really.
"Yeah, I want the roll bar the original color. And these the right color. And that original..."
And the seats?
And the console?
