Builds 1993 refreshed (now gone) and 1995 build up with new OEM engine

Understood - wasn't sure if Ian would buy something off the shelf in this case for his own truck.

Yea. They are cheap when you consider the amount of time it would take to fab up something. Ian was doing a Scheelmann swap on another truck for me back in 2019 and Planted did not have the correct mounts for that Land Cruiser. Huge PIA with the Scheelmann seats. I ended up having to pay someone to take a similar model to 425 Motorsports in order for them to scan and create the correct mounts. They are really nice and no sense reinventing the wheel.

Nothing new info wise but...


Transformed my Cruiser, noticeably better to drive. Super stoked!

So I am curious, can you guys view this or is it blocked?

I can view it but I made it, uploaded it and it is my account. I think it may be blocked cause YT is soooo anal about "copywrite" stuff these days. Seems like they even block videos with music in the background not even added like this one. Thinking of changing video platforms after nearly 20yrs on YT.

I can see it.

I can see it.

Does it have sound?

Cheers

 

[TheLCProject]

Yes. My experience with copyrighted music is not that you can't publish it, but that either you can't monetize it or possibly that you can't make it public.

But that shouldn't stop you from posting it to be private or unlisted.

And I am not an expert on YT either. Just my little experience.

I watched it with sound. No issues.

Well I guess what I am seeing on my YT account does not mean it is blocked. Had a few other videos like this as well so they must be fine too.

So I like seat covers, I am a dirty Cruiser mechanic and use my Cruiser in the bush.

Seems there is nothing out there for Scheel-Mann’s. I did find some for the Sportline seats but that is not what I got. Think I am going to spearhead some nice covers for the Vario, all the ones we have installed have been Varios. Got a vendor who is up for it.

Cheers

Maybe you've had this conversation already, but I asked Scheel-Mann USA (Toby) what he recommended and got these back. Caveat is that these might be better for the larger Vario sizes. I didn't try either:

• 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Seat Protector for Pets - Vehicle Seat Covers | WeatherTech - https://www.weathertech.com/mercedes-benz/2016/sprinter-2/seat-protectors/
• Fire Hose Bucket Seat Cover GRAY - https://www.duluthtrading.com/fire-hose-bucket-seat-cover-85516.html?dwvar_85516_color=GRA#lang=default&brandName=duluth&q=seat%2Bcover&start=2

Ya not really what I am interested in.

Think more along the lines of Escape Gear or Specter canvas covers made to fit.

Totally agreed. I've seen a set from a German company that looked good, but I don't think they're easily available here.

That'd be awesome if someone started producing and selling seat covers that were fit to them. That's been a hesitation for me on Scheel-Manns before, despite the assurances by some on this forum. I'd like to keep my $1500+ seat in as good of shape as I can.

Sent the passenger seat out this morning for custom fitting of seat covers.

Got a new windshield installed this morning. It had a OEM windshield that had a few chips and small cracks. What really made me replace it was it was leaking on both sides at the typical bottom corners spots.

I was really expecting some rust in the corners of the windshield frame. Stoked to find there was none and the whole thing was stellar.

OEM gasket and a Fuyao piece of glass.

You must have a ton of free time to just meander around your own 80 while taking tons of breaks.

Was the sarcasm lost on my post? It was layered thick with it.

It was, the internet can be like that.

I'm interested in what you come up with! I LOVE my Scheelmann's and would like to keep them tip top if I'm going to get grubby.
