Yeah I know, they are new to the scene and have great seats for sure. Pretty spendy but not much different than the big names. I don't need sliders or crazy colors so I can save there too

Edit: what model do you have Zack?

but in standard black vinyl. Im glad I went that way just for the fact that mud would destroy them. Plus its soft like leather.

well I guess I have a new project to do before the dunes trip. Picked these up cheap, wasnt going to do it but i really couldnt pass it up plus the dude drove them to my house. Not often you see these for sale nearby anyways. Not the color or style I was probably going to get but I think they will look fine for half price :)

they actually would feel fine dd or not. they would be fine to drive in for a long *** trip. they hug you and are comfy as hell like any baja style suspesion seat

well finally got some orders in for parts so I can finish the truck up.

picked up:

- 4.88 gears for the front
- spanner wrenches (for preload and lock ring)
- extra sizes of shim stacks for rebuilding my rear shocks
- tabs for seats/belts and other odds and ends
- battery relocating kit

getting at the shocks this week and hopefully get to drive it around to see improvements in how it handles driving/jumping

like $40 to my door through ruff stuff. waaay worth the money if you've ever tried to make them by hand. which I did on a few projects and man it sucked and wasted time.

I like the basic tabs I got for mounting stuff to the cage, bumpers etc. and the other ones are for my belts for the new seats
