I have a swim meet on the 10th, but could do the 11th, any one interested in meeting up there? Kind of a club outing?

 

[sapper76]

Sure, I'm still looking for some bumperettes. Did you have a time in mind?

 

[sapper76]

I'm going today (Saturday) @ 10:00 maybe find a deal, learn some stuff. Spend $40 in gas

 

[OlympiaFJ60]

Hope it was good. I think I'm going to have to bail on tomorrow any way. Need to get my brothers Volvo on the road again. Then I can have his 62 for some knuckle work.

Well it was my first "Fest" and I was a little dissapointed. They had about 20 vendors. The Smittybilt section had some cool stuff priced reasonable but only one guy writing up tickets. There was some good deals on winches, a 8,000 lbs. for under $300 very tempting. I went with my three month old and I got a little upset that they kept honking a train horn. There were a lot of other kids there and it was too loud for an enclosed space. There were also some affordable high-lift jacks too, I say that because I saw a lot of people walking around with them, I think $50. No cruisers inside just a few newer ones in the parking lot. Guess I was expecting more of a swap meet. If you know of any coming up let me know. Time to install my fold and tumbles!!!

In the spring, there is the Moonshiners swap meet. That's more what your were thinking of probably. I sometimes have a booth there or at least try and go walk around.

More pictures of the fold and tumbles please. I need to install something like that in my 40.

Brandon,

Standard 60 Lap Belt by Beam's - Part # BIIF0721-63101 2 belts= $27.98
Split Rear Fold & Tumble Seat by Rampage - Part # RPP5051301 $257.39

I have to find a welder to install rear seat catch bracket (did not want to drill into reserve tank). I was able to do it in around 5 hours. Call me if you decide to order, I can get you around 20% off. I did some research on them, and the split seat will work great for child and dog. I had my 17 year old 6' sister sit back there and she was happy. I do not envy the person that has to get in and out however, glad I am the driver

The car seat clips were hacksaw prototypes. I plan on cutting the end off a chain link and welding it to tub. It will be recessed under rubber mat. I was just going to put up a few pics but I wanted to add a few tips in case any body read this and installed the same:


-Study the underside of tub. holes will be made in middle of tub support cross beam.
-Reserve tank? careful. I decided to weld not bolt rear plate. bummer.
-rubber mat (Del's) or a platform of sorts is a must. The ribbed contour of the bed makes the the rubber landing pads uneven, plus it will give you more room.
-seat belts some with some 2" washers.
-shipment took 10 days from Ohio to 4wheelparts in Tacoma.
-The front left and right brackets should be mirrored but they are identical. it is not an order flaw, rather a design glich and easy to work around. (leave long tab towards front)

 

[sapper76]

Well turns out tub is too thin to weld to as most of you probably knew. So I had some spacers and brackets manufactured and I will have to drop tank to install rear seat mount. $20 and since I was dropping tank I'll bolt up the car seat clips too. $5

 

[sapper76]

This last little bit of the story will not apply to anyone but me. Turns out my reserve tank is welded in. under it is my towing packages that is welded in and attached to that is a hook plate that is welded in. So what I have to do now is fabricate a new floor another $60
