I am pretty sure I mentioned it before, but I absolutely love those seats!

I have several cruiser builds ongoing and had to enlist the help of my buddy @ca18sean to assist with this one. The first project was finally getting the BP51 setup installed.

Huge improvement over the stock setup that was starting to show its age. I now have the OME BP51’s on three trucks and love it so far.

Everything looks so clean and high tech. Performance is nice too with a silky smooth ride. And the overall stance looks great.

Next up a new ARB winch bumper and Come-up winch thanks to @cruiseroutfit. Still need to decide on a rear bumper setup. No need for a real rock crawling bumper in Florida and I already have a Kaymar on a different 80. I guess I may keep it stock for a while.
This one has the same setup as my other truck:You always have fantastic taste. What’s the height difference with this setup?
The seat brackets are made by a company called Planted. This is my third set of brackets and they always work perfectly. The seats vary in cost depending on options. The cheapest is around $1300 and the most expensive is maybe $2000 or so. That is each set and then the brackets run about $100 per side.Nice seat brackets, who makes them? Scheel-Mann? What’s the total cost for front seat plus brackets? What makes this choice better than Recaro seats?
It seems like all of my projects convened at about the same time. I have a 78 FJ40 that is getting a Holley Sniper setup reconfigured. The other 80 series is almost ready for the HDFT swap. The shop is waiting on a fuel tank that should be here any day now. Doing a build on a new 200 series Heritage Edition that should be here the week of the 14th. And I have a new 992 Porsche that is on the boat for delivery later this month. And also there is the PZJ77 that I just drove across the country for the 70 series event at Windrock. I'm looking forward to something that doesn't really need anything.Which of the other trucks are taking up your time?
Is the Traveler about the same height as the stock seat?These seats are also shorter than the set in the red 80 series. That truck has the Vario XXL seats and they are about 3 inches taller (compared to the Traveler LR) in the seat back position. I originally thought the Vario would be too tall for the 80 series. However, I'm not sure I prefer one option over the other at this point. I think each have their pros/cons. Here is one next to the other for comparison.
