summertime in northern Michigan

[4rnr]

I played around with the springs & cut off all the straps that held the leaves together & gained about an inch more in the rear & almost 2 in the front as far as droop goes. And that's just checking it with the hi lift. Mayhaps more in the real world. That's yet to be seen.

By measuring it looks like the seats I got from Mark won't fit my mini without interfering with the shifters for the cases.
Might take them out & try it, but looks like the couch will stay.
If anyone else wants them let me know, or I'll hang on to them & make garage chairs of them.

Want me to bring those sr5 seats to gumby land ranch?

 

[Gumby]

i wonder if the mark seats would fit better than the skinner seats i have in the fo'ty five

 

[tonyota]

I can bring them to the ranch for you Todd.

John, if you don't want them I'll take them, but be aware I'm gonna use them in a wheeler with no doors. So if you wanna hang on to them for a nicer project that's cool

 

[Gumby]

Do the mark seats have large bolsters? I don't have a lot of room to get under the steering wheel because I myself have large bolsters.

 

[booty]

The mark seats are regular courbou Baja seats. Bolsters not too large.

Those are not Skinner seats. I think they are Isuzu or Nissan....

 

[Gumby]

Well, I can't have non-Toyota parts on my rig.

 

[tonyota]

I'll bring the seats & if it turns out they won't work I can haul them back. They are very light & stack nicely in the passenger seat.

 

[tonyota]

I tried them in my mini & they hit the B pillar & that forces them closer to the middle & they hit my shifters.

You do have a period correct theme going on your cruisers.

 

[Gumby]

If they fit in marks 40 they should fit in the 45, but i don't remember if he runs a console.

 

[booty]

I still run the stock 40 console. Should fit. They are pretty much the same as the seats in Johns 40.

 

[x factor]

My planned arrival time should be around 5-6 pm Saturday.

 

[Jeremy9A]

I'm aiming for friday night. The 4runner has a new L/F strut and L/F spring.

Stay tuned for more updates.

 

[tonyota]

I'm leaving my house Friday morning so I'll be annoying Todd most of the day Friday!

 

[tonyota]

What's the weather lookin like up in you're part of the world for our adventure this coming weekend?

 

[Gumby]

Good. Keeps getting better. No rain now. High 40s at night. Low 70s during the day. Plenty of room in the house and can heat the shop if need be.
Someone should let me know if they are interested in the gspot so I can air it out.

 

[Gumby]

So we got tony, John, Allens, joe and bill and Vickie?

Conner is out, but Megan can come. Anybody else? s***, it's actually close for Walter.

 

[joez]

I'm out now. Apparently I have a prior commitment on Saturday morning that I was reminded of today when I got home from work.

 

[Gumby]

Ok if I use your pig?
