I Think the 80 is Gone
Going this weekend or next to meet new owner. She will be living in Texas.
So the 40 will resume rebuilding now! And Georg will be getting some $$$$ soon. Rear axel Might be moving back a little. And Paint color is still undecided. LONG WAY to go and a short time to get there. Lets keep our fingers crossed this will be finished by the Crawl!
Oh, and Lori said I have to have new seats too.

Congrats!
As far as seats- Corbeau is what I went with/ you $$ for them but super comfortable!!!
Corbeaus are super comfy.
You may consider getting the wider seats for larger passengers the Baja SS (or whatever) are just barely wide enough for a little guy like myself to fit. They're like a glove on me.

Anybody used this set up before?

I wonder if the tuffy console will mount to it or do you think you would have to buy the mounting kit?

Personally I have no experience with this kit, but I seriously considered it about a year ago. My concern is the height. You may be able to shorten it a little?? If I mounted my Tiburon seats on this kit I would be looking through the top quarter of the windshield. Too high for me.
Tuffy console should mount to it . You may have to weld on some tabs. I just used big zip ties to mount the tuffy in the 40. It's supposed to be temporary ...
I would get seats before building or modifying the seat frame kit.
Beard enduro seats are super comfy but the cushion raised the sitting position. I was eye level with windshield frame.

I recommend them assuming he will make new seat mounts.
Kinda like the 40 to the trailer behind the camper.....
LOL .I knew something like that was coming.
Its funny i went to Moab with the 80 strapped with 2 straps. one in rear one in front. . 48hrs THERE AND BACK no problems.
I go to hotsprings- break a strap right before i park it.
I go to Jrobs to pick up the zuk and I break 2 straps on the way home.. 45 min drive.
one word
CHAINS

Picked up a tuffy console on mud today.
Talked Georg today. Might need something shipped from katemcy, if I don't get to go.
