ntsaint's FJ40 search and build

[wngrog]

Get some good seats. There are some killer "suspension" seats the don't make you fall in a hole. Made for Jeeps and Cruisers. Just do it right. Screw the stock seats. Save your cash.

Use it like I do my 60. Catting around. I LOVE my 60 for that.

I would suggest painting it a cool ass bright OEM color like Orange or Sea Foam or Blue. Something that pops. I am telling you, my truck is a pile of s*** and it looks like 10 million dollars because of the color.

It's got to be an OEM color........

 

[ntsaint]

Ive been looking at seat options as opposed to the OEMs. Will search some more on what you are talking about.

Color is already done. OEM dune beige. Inside of tub is already done in that color. All accessories will be black, along with the OEM wheels. She will be pimp.

Polyperformance.com for seats

Go procar scat seats in black vinyl. The most comfortable seats and clean up nice. Can get from summit/jegs.

 

[Bossman]

Is that the seats in your 62?

 

[Bomar]

Thx man. Gotta get some heat and AC in there, but that's all thats left. I love hanging out in there at night.

You are welcome to try that window unit.

 

[Bomar]

Is that the seats in your 62?

Yes and Cam has some and also Braswells 55 has them.

 

[ntsaint]

Thx Bomar but it's too small. I'm 600' with peaked ceiling. Gonna take a larger 220 I think.

Do these aftermarket seats require me to build new seat mounts?

 

[ntsaint]

These guys?

Scat 80-1500-51L, Procar Classic Series Seats | Scat

 

[Bomar]

Gottcha.

I don't know about a 40 but 60 they bolted to OE tracks. A lot of people on mud called them iron pig off road seats b/c they are a procar dealer so search if they are mentioned.

No these. Procar Elite Series 1100 Seats | Scat

$1000 after adapters and shipping. Damn.

@FJ60Cam you just did a cross country trip...they worth it?

 

[Bomar]

Pin summit and jegs to price match.

$1000 after adapters and shipping. Damn.

@FJ60Cam you just did a cross country trip...they worth it?

&@$% yeah they are. Seriously, to me, they are more comfortable than my infinitely adjustable LS430 seats. No exaggeration.

I can put in a 800 mile day (in a 60) with no butt/back pain. I just did that in the Lexus coming home from Disneyworld and my butt and lower back were sore.

 

[ntsaint]

That's awesome info. Thanks Cam.

 

[ntsaint]

I put new calipers on all 4 corners without painting them. Now beg are rusted. Is there any way to clean them up and paint that will last? Or am I better off just buying a new set? They are not real expensive.

One of those dumb things I did early in the build.

 

[offr0adlim0]

Hit them with a wire brush then paint with caliper paint

 

[ntsaint]

Think that will hold up?
