Hello,
They are powered seats from a 2000 BMW 3 series. I did use Tor’s brackets and they worked perfectly.
Cheers!

Noticed this on my radiator. Cool. Cool.

Passed California smog test without needing any carb or vacuum adjustments. Apparently not all smog centers in the local area are interested in testing carburated vehicles.

Pulled my leaking steering box and took it to a rebuilder (ADCO Power Steering) in Houston. The have 1-2 day service. I spoke to West Texas Offroad, very nice guys but in the end I decided I did not want to fool with shipping it in a 5 gallon bucket (or driving it to them 7 hours away) and they said it would be at least 2 weeks once they got it.

ADCO has been around for a long time and they seem to know what they are doing. I will report back after I get it installed.

Got the rebuilt steering box installed and drove it 300 miles on a hunting trip. Glad to report that ADCO did a great job, all of the wandering is gone in my steering and no leaks.

If you are anywhere close to Houston area and need a power steering box rebuild, I can recommend them highly. They had another identical box there when I went to pick mine up. They do a lot of business. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but they know their stuff.

On the way to work this morning stopped to help winch a busted Dodge onto a tow dolly. The right front wheel, fender, body, and other stuff was messed up because something in the suspension or steering let go at speed. No tow hooks on this truck, we had to improvise.

Looks like an upper ball joint. Lucky that is all the damage he had.

Currently the OEM bumper is taking up space in my garage. If I can make room for it I will likely hang on to it for long term in case somebody wants it if I ever sell my rig.

Nice! It was about a year of conversation before my wife accepted the idea of an ARB. She likes the classic look and clean lines of stock 60 series. Ultimately it came down to intended use and I "won" or at least she let me think that...

I know right? I thought it was a 57.. but you could be right. Not mine..
