@brooksfj60

Or what seats did you mount to them? I have a set of brackets but haven't looked into what seats work well.

They are bmw m3 seats. They sit really tall so my head is pretty close to the roof

Great mail day! Got our seat mounts from Adventure Ready or @SeattleFJs. They look awesome!

thanks! I ordered a set of those as well and they sat wicked high (head almost hitting the ceiling, legs almost fully extended to brake for depress clutch, and I'm 6'2). I was hoping you went with a different seat that had a lower height and would make them useable.

I just lean the seat back gangsta style lol

Got the radio in. We hate taking the dash apart and getting the speedometer cable back on

Love the blacked out dash/interior.


Pro Tip: you can reach under the dash and connect/disconnect the speedo cable. Learned that one from @Kleatus

I dunno about calling that a “Pro Tip” Dave! The only reason I was able to show you that it’s easy to do from underneath is that I have on at least one occasion reassembled my own gauge cluster into the dash without hooking up the speedo cable .

Experienced in screw ups? yes.. professional...? not a chance .

Hey Pablo, it's Bob. Brooks is in the field this week training so i am answering for him, he wants to go but it would be a last minute deal for him unfortunately. He has some training he has to get in that he doesn't know the dates yet that has to be done before he deploys
But that is what he bought the radio for.

 

[PabloVTA]

great! I hope he can go. Does that mean you and the missus can roll out for it and he plays catch up?

wait..deploys? is that before June also?

The wife and I cannot make it this year. Yes he is set to deploy around the first part of July. So I am not sure if I should sign him up for the Rubithon or not? There is another Marine that @landcrusher909 is storing his 60 that is deployed right now that wants to also go, so i might just register them and hopefully one of them can make it or both of them go together.
