What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (91 Viewers)

[steezy]

I know EXACTLY what youre saying about the flat shoe thing!!! Im also 6'5", but you have about 50# on me. I put a set of '00 4Runner seats in mine. Took some time/work to get them to fit, but are a huge improvment from the stock 450 seats in height and legroom. I did lose quite a bit of rear seat legroom though....

Let's do a height/weight rollcall real quick

6' 185#

Holler if you hear me

The cover may not be sourced from Toyota but, it is a Toyota cover. See the circled area below, they ground out the Toyota name before selling.

I finally got around to installing my 17” Derale cooler for the power steering...just in time for the hot weather here in nor cal

I bought the derale 17”cooler and pieced it all together...I used rustoleum professional gloss black on cooler for easy touch up, 3/8’s trans hose with push lock fittings..

first pic is paper clip OEM cooler on top for comparison ....

Sorry I know it’s old but how did you mount it to the frame? Existing holes or drill new holes? Thanks

Looks like the wits end kit. If I recall it requires drilling and tapping.

Ok thanks

 

[Dubbinchris]

Ok thanks

No problem. Being the wits end kit you can probably find plenty of more detailed write ups. There might even be info on his website still.

I fit great in my 91 BMW E30 with race seats and my 97 M3 with stock vaders. Every now and then I run into cars like my Tacoma that just don't make sense, they should be big enough but somehow i don't have enough leg room and my head almost touches the ceiling

Quick pic of mine that I duped from Witt's list (his kit was out at the time), easy drill and nut-sert for the 4 mounting bolts. Biggest PITA for me was getting the paperclip out without destroying it....still had to do some heavy bending.

Definitely worth the upgrade....I get a lot less growl and hard steering when crawling now.
