Re: 4x4 48'

Made a stand for my Christmas present (pneumatic planishing hammer). I'll be using it for my inner fenders but first a little practice on a piece of scrap.

Re: 4x4 48'

Is that the stock seat? If it is did you have them add foam? It looks good.

Re: 4x4 48'

No I had a local guy make it for me. He did a great job and he was able to install the heated seat pads that I bought and it has a thin layer of foam because I had them installed. I couldn't believe how cheap he was. He was half the price of the others in the area and came recommended.

Can you send me details on who did the seat? I checked with the downtown auto upholstery place, $550 to do a bench seat in single color vinyl with pleats. Thanks!

Re: 4x4 48'

Mine came in under that with my setup but I used industrial materials on my cover so it might have affected the price a bit. I would think you could get a good deal pending on what you're going for.

Re: 4x4 48'

Im digging the truck man. Are you going to be keeping the torsion bar set up up front?

You should remove the torsion bars and grab some tubular arms and coilovers the SyTy guys are running.
