Hello - Where were the lights mounted?

I just had them sitting on the roof, not yet mounted. I will be getting a roof rack in the next coming weeks and they will be mounted to that!

Sorry - I meant for the LED mini lights that were under the truck. I see that you have two sets of the Red and is it 3 sets of the Whites?
Was interested in getting some for those night runs.
Thanks

Oh I gotcha, yeah those are actually not as bright as you think, I'm actually quite disappointed and would no recommend them. The DSLR makes it look brighter :biggrin2:

Hello Everyone, sorry I Have been M.I.A.

Just wanted to drop in and say it was cool seeing your miata buddy running around that pyramid at Prairie City, as well as your truck too.
-Sincerely; dude in the black 4runner who almost rolled it on that same pyramid.

 

[Hyde802]

New Bedside sticker! Courtesy of a great member of Expedition Portal!

Also, I have been M. I. A. for while guys, the reason is- I bought a daily driver and I am in LOVE. :clap2:
2002 Honda s2000 with only 35k miles! Gets 32mpg. makes sense for my commute, and now I can deck out my truck to a greater extreme without being worried about the effects on daily driving.

Here's how my driveway looks now :artist2:

 

[Hyde802]

Great looking daily! Wish I could DD a rwd car, but thats just a no go in the snow. Haha. I love seeing this thread get bumped on to the first page!

Went camping to Bowman Lake Again... Talk about a drought! only 2 months difference.

Hello everyone!

Sorry that i've been so MIA lately, I've been busy with work and the ladyfriend :tongue:

After much thinking and consideration- I bit the bullet and got some Corbeau Baja RS Suspension Seats with adjustable lumbar and Seat heaters. I also used the corbeau seat brackets. A total of 1300 Shipped but I got them within two days!
arty:

Sorry for the low quality images, the battery on my DSLR was dead

Here's the Before.

Comparison of the two

Seat Heater Switches installed in the center console- looks oem and these things COOK. :tongue:

After- Much Better! - Matches too!

The "suspension" part isnt as "bouncy" as I thought it would be, but we'll have to see once im offroad. As for the comfort - i would say 9/10, They are bolstered a little less on the external sides of the seats, so allow for easier entry and exit of the vehicle. Although convenient, for the first 10 minutes until i was adjust, i felt as if the seats were mounted sideways because the shoulder support get feels different on your left and right sides

It took some getting used to, however now that I am more acclimated its not a bother.
Looking forward to taking these suckers in the Sierra snow this weekend!.

Thoughts?

Wow those look great; I am seriously going to consider those for my truck in the future as the Lady Friend believes anything below 60 is sub zero. ound: Seat heaters are a very attractive addition, probably the only mod she wont raise hell about. were they built into the seat or did you throw in an aftermarket heaters?

 

[Kean]

How is the seat height compared to stock? I may have missed it but I believe you were using the brackets by the seat manufacturer? If so, were they pretty much "bolt in" without issue?

The one thing I worry about is if the brackets are different (height wise) from stock and I find them too low or high with no easy way to adjust.

They look good btw and it appears the fitment is great.

Built in, an extra 148 EACH. but the instant she turned the heaters on, and then had to change from the FULL on setting to 50%-because she was too warm and comfy- I knew it was worth it.

I think in the long run, especially the snow- Itll pay for itself. Not to mention, if you already spend 800 including seat rails, might as well pay the little bit more and enjoy the luxuries!
