@Snicklephritz87 could you please tell me what engine mounts you used? They appear to be adjustable(?). Vendor?

Added a x2 battery from batteries plus. Ditched my optima. They are garbage batteries.

Also picked up a high flow cat. The new cam shaft makes the truck super smelly.

Sorry to hear about the window! What were your issues with the Yellow top Optima?
 
They warranty 4 batteries over last 4 years. They deep discharge and no longer start the truck. As time goes they need a jump at every start. Perpetually gets worse until it’s less tHan 24 hours between starts.

I am done. They are no longer a quality product.
 
Can you share what you did to mount your Recaros? I have a set and haven’t bought sliders even yet…. Also I have stock 73 fj40 seat risers etc… not sure if there’s a good adapter bracket that’s bolt and go…

It was a custom setup. It all mounts to a main bar in rear. I used Recaro sliders for the expert M seat.

Phenomenal purchase. I bought them in 2017 and this is my daily.

I am 6’ 225# wide shoulders. The expert m fit me better than the specialist m. Pay attention to the bolster on seat. You want the lower bolster as we have an SUV.
