The double glove box + grab bar was a good move.

Anybody out there with one of these had any luck with seat covers? I’m going to run the factory Toyota split bench seat.

Try Escape Gear. They make really nice canvas ones and they are available in LHD.

Okay cool. I tried them about 6 months ago but you had to “inquire” and they had some questions that I did not understand and the person asking me also did not understand. Just ordered a set.

It is a pain to order those Escape Gear covers.

1st try. Ordered from Escape directly. They refunded me without any dialogue.

2nd try. Went to Equipt, still a PITA but got them ordered. I don’t think I could have gotten them without Equipt’s help. Particularly a man named Paul May had to step in too from what I recall from the e-mail dialogue.

They are worth it however.

I was living in Riyadh and had South African colleagues that bought them in person for me. I guess that’s a long way to say no.

I had a set previously in a Troopy. Definitely nice overs. I placed an order through Equipt so we will see how that turns out. I’m considering running a single Scheelmann seat on the driver side and keeping the bench seat.

Perfect.

Damn.

I realize that that pic is giving Ken Wood, but I am not ashamed to admit that it is having the same affect on me....

 

[Indestructible 47]

Yeah that works for me.

 

[SNLC]

This one here we made since an OEM won’t work, OEM clamps though!

Flares look good.

 

[bottombracket]

Flares look GREAT.

I keep thinking I’m going to run flareless and then I see pictures like this.

I need to purchase a radio from Australia. I have been unable to find a single source that would ship overseas and it is apparently not available in the United States. If anyone in Aus could help me out please reach out.

maybe i missed it, but is that specifically for a trip across OZ? you need to get an antenna also.

I generally prefer the old skinny nose trucks... but those hoods make me envy all of you wide-nose 70-series folks something awful!

scooped hoods are available for narrow nose rigs.

No. These radios have a particular width that is different that the standard double din radios in the US. I was only able to find a source in Australia.
