on the new rig Norm! A little more info on your goals would be helpful, the mods will be very different between these two? 
New 40 goals
Thanks Carl and Kevin. Project thread will be forthcoming as soon as some more parts get nailed down.
I'm thinking more like Kevin's example 1 but capable to crawl too . Long term: 33" to 35"s, 4" lift, discs front and rear, lockers front and rear, re-gear, maybe Aussie 4 speed, keep a Toyota power plant, and power steering. Right now: engine, ps, and front discs. It'll have to be a budget project at first. Body will stay original.
I need a good, inexpensive upholstery shop in Phoenix as I want to get the bench seat re-done. My last one had Camero buckets and I really like the 3 way bench (probably not ideal for wheeling though).

Do yourself a favor and dump the bench NOW if you intend to wheel it! They are way too springy, offer NO support and will wear you out in a flash on the trail. Just about any other seats will be better and probably cheaper than reupholstering that POS!

I've seen several 40's where people installed Accord seats - looked good and lotsa room. Scan junkyards for a wrecked Honda.
