Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The "rat trap" mount on the passenger's side is something I want to get rid of. I don't think it would hold up very well in a crash, or even in a comp or heavy offroading situation for that matter.

OK a few more pics...

The seats were not exactly a bolt on but they're pretty close.

The distance front-to-back between the mounting holes were the same as the zook, but the rails ended up about 50mm further apart. I got some 50mm x 10mm aluminum flat bar and bolted that the the seats and then bolted the rails to that. I like how it lifted them up a little but that might not be the best for those taller ppl among us (i'm about 180/5'10")

Wait - i've just confirmed that you also have Carpet in there? Don't you people have rain / mud / dust / dirty shoes / dogs / grubby children in queensland?

Not at the local shopping centre with undercover parking ...

But in all honesty ..I have only just removed the carpet from the footwells of my Zuk ... will most likey pull the rest and teh put come of that rubberized HD paint in goop ..

They were pretty good value, and they look clean coz i got them shampoo'd recently (about $28 from memory)

I got these when I was daily driving this thing, so I wanted comfort. I don't like mud and try not to get into that kinda thing too much. I have no kids or pets

I do expect them to get a bit dirty, but for what I do they are great. Some canvas covers would be spot on, but dunno if the $$$ would be worth it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have a fibre top and cap off a Maruti that I usually run on the ute, so it keeps most of the sh1t out. When I did the rust in the floors I also made sure that all the little holes were plugged, so carpet should stay reasonably dry, unless i'm trying to do a remake of 20,000 leagues under the sea...

To quote Chopper Reid, "Whinge, whinge f*ckin whinge"

There are XXXX Gold tins there too

At least they're beer cans, unlike the cocktail glasses found around Turps' workshop

as well as a hose out cabin .. as lest face it .. I am still a mud pig after all these years .. why fight it ...

Ok.... roof fabric then.... Whatever


I dunno if it's from having to climb out the soft top to attatch the snatch strap or just flung through sunroof area or drivers window





As for ditching carpet to hoseout I still dunno why you didnt do that years ago.....

I had my new power steering box on the floor for a week until all the fluid came out.... pull the plug and a few doughies and it's all gone

You make me laugh, plus there crownies at the moment. As for the cocktail glasses there's none of them the girlfriend has moved onto cruiser lolloy drinks this week. SO

Crownies?

VB in a poofy bottle with a gold label

Well, not quite but fark if that's not the most overrated beer i don't know what is.




errr, Grimbo? Did we get off topic again?

Yeh.. thanks guys for posting the pics of the seats, well I guess the R33 seats should squeeze in then

agreed. crownies are teh shite!

Regardless of which beer is the best, i still reckon you should stop drinking them damo and start thinking about pretending to get ready to get started preparing to get organised to buy what's needed to get the jobs done that are required to finish that bloody truck of yours!!!!

Funny you mention that Greg! I'm just about to head out and find me a new grinder. Got some news from Qld Trans this week too, though not everything I need

I think someone should just kill this thread, there is no hope for it now!!

Damo wrote: Got some news from Qld Trans this week too, though not everything I need

And that news was?....

in other seat-un-related topics - how are the baby swampers going? Are they noticable in such a baby size?

OK, consider this thread officially hijacked for all time. It cannot be recovered, there is no turning back. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.



News from QDOT was body lift is approved, and everything else (EXCEPT the suspension) is OK pending an inspection.

Still waiting on news on suspension.

Regarding the baby swampers, yes they are small. They are worn and ride on the road worse than anything except perhaps a timber and iron spoked wheel from some ye olde cart/dray. Have only driven it a few k's on road so far, no real plans to take this one offroad. Swampers are there purely for the 'cred bling bling!

Seriously, it'll be rolling on stockers shortly swampers might make some good sand tyres...

That's good to hear mate - so i guess it will only be a year or two til it's back on the road then

if it got back from my arse being branded with a seatbelt whilst wearing a pair of speedos ... it can come back from this easily ..

I have stock fgabric suzuki seats in mine .. and I reckon they are purdy comfy ...

I've got stock vinyl seats in mine and i think they are pretty good too... though there is a slight tear in the drivers side one so i get a tad wet when i sit in it after heavy rain

A mate of mine makes up boat covers etc .. he has just got himself his one giga enormous sewing machine .. He could most likley make up some vinyl or canvas seat covers for a pretty reasonable sum if needed ... Your seats would be the same basic shape as mine but without the headrests one would assume ...

Would you like me to find out if he is interested ???

Thanks mate, but in reality - i like my car looking all crappy and run down (besides the bling gauges on the dash of course)...

However, once i get the pretty winch mounted up i may get back to you as i'm considering a little press-stud type cover for the winch to keep it a little bit cleaner

Oh - i reckon you could use a boat cover for yours though - since it sees so much water

Damo, time to get your digicam out and take a pic of our pile of empties. would make a nicer sight than turps' lolly water drinks.

Yeah I'm after some GTi seats. Just sick of scalding my a$$

Looking at getting them scotchbrited or whatever to protect them

What are you talking about scotchbrited. Your suppost to drink the scotch not spill it onto the seats.

Unless your turps then you would spill the scotch reaching for the girly drinks!!

Suppose it would cool the belt down so you don't burn your rear end when your on the back seat with yah pants down

i plan on puting some obx race seats in my zook i will post pics when im done


they are 330 each which i think is good value

Those weirdos from sydney will do anything for kicks ... unlike the guys from Vic SA and WA .. we go 4 wheeling for fun ...

My wifes ride is a 96 swift Gti, I don't think the seats are comfy at all. They are better than stock Sierras, but not that much.

I fitted Toy MR2 seats, narrow and verr adjustable, verr comfy. $200 the pair.
Passenger side took a bit of work with 2x2" steel tube to get the seat raised up enough. Drivers was nearly a bolt in, just used some flat 2x2 to go between the front seat mount holes and the front bolt holes in the original mount holes..
LM

Well I got the Skyline seats and the rails are a tad too wide and the seats sit pretty low. Would require a fair bit of modification to make them fit so I'm not going to bother. If anyone wants them ($250 for both) PM me.
