… @GA Architect reminds me of my good friend who was a Top Gun Naval Aviator.
He always says “perfect is close enough”

Funny you said that.

When I built houses in the mid 80's, if we ever made a mistake, the 78 year old boss-man would say, "Well, you can't see it from my house!".....we'd chuckle, and then fix the issue. (NOTE - I'z no Top Gunner!....but I do have a 2nd cousin that was a sharpshooter for Browning in the late 80's & early 90's. She could flat out smoke a target!)

FWIW - OCD can be a hinderance at times.

Hi-Jack Over: Carry on with your YAK Cruiser related info.

Truck looks great amigo, the top and fresh upholstery really tie the room together.

I would like to have a mesh pocket on the back of my seats. I found a nice solution. I am going to attach these pockets to some ABS plastic then use the template of the metal seat back to match the mounting locations and attach the ABS to the seat. I have to decide how to shape the ABS to get a footprint about 1/2 the size of the seat back.
These seat backs will be offered up for sale soon.

Love that idea!

Really cool idea. There is a pretty neat product to swap the factory net on 80s that is pretty slick. If the width is compatible you could have the metal part powdered to match the factory seat back metal (or leave brown, etc) and swap the cord to any color:

JDM 80 Series Land Cruiser Seat Back Frame Set

Free shipping within the lower 48 states! These seat back nets are intended for 91-97 JDM 80 Series Land Cruisers. Toyota used a variety of seat...

@thatcabledude
I though about chopping up the metal seat back that I have into something similar but in the end couldn’t bring myself to do it.

@thatcabledude
Thank you for the link. I emailed the proprietor of plaidwagon.co
He is working on a product for the 40 using the 1975 model as a template.

Oh heck yeah!

Nice!!! Looking forward to your review. Fill me in over a later this spring/summer.

I have spent a little too much time in the 250 section reading the bit#&ing. Good to hear you say that.
@wngrog
My head is spinning with all the features. But so far I am extremely happy with my decision.
