The build has begun...

I love the seats. They are very comfortable, although they are almost too wide for the passenger side. The reclining mechanism broke on the driver's side, but Corbeau took care of it no questions asked and shipped the part out over night. No problems since.

Here is the site I purchased the seats and mounts from:

Corbeau Seats: Reclining

The XRS's are new, and I probably would have gone with those over the ones I have now had they existed at the time just because I like the style a little more.

Your runner would look sweet with some nerf bars!! You plan on getting new rims?

Next mod will be sliders for sure. I'll probably go with 4xinnovations w/ the kick out. Rims are probably the last thing I'd do. I prefer function over form any day of the week. There are a bunch of mods that would benefit me more than switching to a lighter wheel including armor, bumpers, gears, basic maintenance, LSD/lockers etc.

Lookin good man! Can't wait to see more updates!

Looking very good! Whom did you go through to get the brackets done? My drivers side seat has a big fat rip in it... and I'm sure it'll still be there on the 1st when we get to RC. You Are going right?

I ordered the brackets with the seats on the website I posted previously. However, I found out that Corbeau doesn't make or stock the seat brackets. Rather, they outsource all seat brackets to Wedge Engineering.

I am going to Rausch on the 1st. I look forward to seeing some familiar and new faces. Do you want to purchase my Sport seats for a fair price? If so I can bring them out to Rausch with me.

Mind texting me a few pics? My number is on the RC thread there is no point in not posting it again. 570-294-6505. If the price is right, and the seats are tan, I'm all about it.

I guess I am queening mine. I just got it a few months ago, and I am afraid of effing up my vehicle like I did my last offroad capable vehicle. I suppose I still have puppy love for it. So right now I am dressing it up, then later down the I'll be less reluctant to beef it up for trails.

Unfortunately my stock seats are gray. Oh well. It'll be a pleasure to meet you at Rausch.

I hear ya man. We all have different intentions for our vehicles. I don't mind beating mine up a bit as long as she can get me to work the next day.

Great looking rig! :bigok: Any chance of snapping some photos of the seats in the truck and someone sitting in them? I'm interested to see how they turned out.

I'm sure I'll get a pic of me sitting in them once folks start posting pics in the Rausch Creek thread.

Those seats looks awesome! :guitar3: How tall are you? I ask because I'm 6'2" and don't have many options on how to set the stock seat without hitting my head on the roof. Do you have adjustability with the new seats?

 

[catalina34]

I'm 5'10". It feels like the seat is about an inch lower than stock. I have plenty of headroom. The Wedge brackets are on sliders too so leg room isn't an issue. The only thing you should know is that the passenger side seat sits right up against the drivers side door. It's tight, but doesn't impact the function of the seat or vehicle.

The Corbeau GTS II and Moab are narrower, a bit less expensive, and both look good. The XRS is still my favorite though for it's style and the fact that it's a suspension seat like my Baja RS.

 

[spongerx]

Good to know. Thanks :fro:

 

[catalina34]

Slowly but surely

Adam from 4xinnovations was great to deal with. Very nice, and got the product out earlier than expected. Now to get them put on and painted.

Sliders are on thanks to LINY for his welding skills.

Did some wheeling at Rausch with Opi just before he sold his truck

Spidertrax in for Xmas

After

I'm pretty happy with the spacers. I wish they were actually another .5 to .75" wider but they solved my clearance issues with the upper control arm so I'm mostly satisfied. Not sure what's next on the agenda, but I'll keep updating as things come along.

Edit: I did order a Canvas Back rear cargo floor cover. My dog rides around in the back a lot and she's a shedder so the canvas cover seemed like a better alternative than a plastic Husky stlye tray because it covers the backs of the seats too. It's also water resistant and should make for easy clean ups.

Here's a better before and pic of the spidertrax

I hope to have everything done in a week or two. Just need oil fittings/lines.

Nice!
