Finished up the Lseat leather install this weekend. Also in the middle of taking off the port installed faux wood trim. Used mint steering wheel too. Slowly coming along.
Damn! That's purty!
Added the bowfin rack and went to a lake
Tapage
Club 4X4 Panamá
Added 20 HP ..
Ordered a DC shaft from LandTank, ordered a new OEM starter, as well as new ujoints for the rear, new OEM power steering pump, Photomans alternator bracket and soon a 150amp sequoia alternator. Be busy soon.
Been following this.., so I had my upholstery shop start the install this morning. On the rear seats, the LSeat leather was super baggy. I'm talking a 450lb dude losing 200lbs of weight skin sag baggy. He also mentioned that the stitching was bad, not even. He is going to need to build up the foam to get the leather to tighten up.
With that said, I noticed yours is a bit baggy as well. Any other issues that you came across so that other guys on the forum can be aware of?
And where did you source the steering wheel btw? Good job doing this on your own., well done!!

o yourself a huge solid and bench test that alt even if its from yota and remnned like mine cause its a lot of work to do twice or more.
I see. Today I learned about Itta Bena. I have been wondering about that for 20 years. Thank you.
EDIT: I forgot that I said I would give someone $100 for telling me that. I still will, but I do have a favor to ask. If you have an 80 in a scrap yard near you, I really need the little clip that attaches to the rod that connects the rear lift handle to the locking mechanism. It's the white one that is closest to the inner guts of the lift/open handle on the top of the clamshell and I also want both side sections of the lower front quarter panels. They can be cut off with a battery powered sawsall or a hand held shear. I only need the bottom foot or so where it meets the front door.
If you can't do it, I can still send ya' the hundo, but I would still be in the market for those parts. If it needs to be a little more, I can probably do that.
