Scheel-Mann Seat Install

[Outsane]

So I can fart about 50 cents worth?

The 4lbs is just a bonus, I was shocked that it wasn't more. Maybe the traveler seats weigh less.

Disappointing to read that there's only a reduction of 4 lbs but so be it.

Just out of curioustiy is there any $ savings ordering both seats? If not I'll probably order a drivers seat with dual arm rests/heat sooner.

Shipping might be cheaper

If you have your seat set back, it's very snug between the side of the seat and the B-pillar and you may have problems with an outside armrest. Check with some of the vendors.

4lbs less than the power seats or manual seats?

Has anyone installed these with a Tuffy console in place?

Good to know, not terribly worried about dual arm rests but my right arm would be very pleased with an armrest. The door panel is adequate.

I have a suspicion that shipping won't be too much of a difference now vs later since they would probably be boxed separately.

Comparison was with powered seats...

Maybe my scale is off...

With brackets installed

Well, looks like the Delta Bags Covers are out since they aren't for XXL PIMPTHRONE


Note: Only fitting for scheel-man Vario, NOT for Vario XXL and Vario E.

If you can talk them into making covers for the Vario XXL, I'd be in for a set.

Hard to make a business case for a niche of a niche, even if they only have to get a new upper pattern. I'll go with Knightsbridge once I get the interior well and truly torn apart for wiring and upgrades.

I'm going to order up some silly hanging scale from the amazon place. I'd love to be able to throw hard numbers at a few 80 series things I have knocking around.

I wonder if BMW Alpina make/model search for seat covers would get any of us anything useful?

LOL, yeah, I carried this thing with the Planted bracket attached for a few feet last week, I was not expecting that there would be much weight savings. That isn't the market of this seat. Seems that "race" seats are a thing of the past for Scheel...

 

[Outsane]

And I don't want a race seat in the Landcruiser... well not yet

If you have your seat set way back you'll also occasionally smoke the side of your head on the B pillar when you're on the trail. Ask me how I know ...

My kids have this issue with the windows when I get rowdy

You know we need details.

I didn’t really want to answer this at the time because it was just a few color swatches. Here is final product.

 

[FJRanger]

Now that's pretty freaking cool!

It is 100% for me. I like checkers.

The contours of the seat really make that an optical illusion.

Very cool.
