bought Localmotion's. Gonna use that till I can find the other.

 

Hey 85. What seats are those and what sliders are they on? Where did you get them? Sorry to hijack.

 

It appears the quickrelease mechanism only grabs the floormount near the center. I'd say some slight trimming to the base, and you'd be good to go.

 

This is what you need to do...

 

Show-off!

 

I agree Cebby, now I just have to find the console.

 

JDM seats, Wedge brackets, eBay. I have a writeup on my build thread, just click the link in my sig.

 

nice & secure, I like. Is that the '85 or the '87 though?

 

It WAS in the 85, but no room for duals and that thing so it got moved to the 87. I'll put something else in the 85 eventually...probably some type of toolbox etc.

 

I was gonna do something like that then I got to thinking.............................


I needed cheap and strong. I broke my last plastic POS several times and so with that, I decided to run an ammo can. I havent figured out a cup holder setup on it yet and doubt I will but it provides a TON-O-STORAGE compared to the old one and it is actuall tall enough to use as an armrest while I am waiting on all the Heeps to get through the obstacles. Oh and its water resistant more than anyother console type thing I have looked into.

I am going to mount my leather belt slide holster inside the can on the drivers side of the can so that I can carry my Sig with me on the trails. I will do it with something like a bolt and wing nut set up so its quick and easy to take out and into the house when I am home from wheelin.

 

What kind of ammo can did you use?
I have an old .50 cal can but it's a little on the short side. Your picture shows one that looks to be a bit bigger.

 

I just aquired a new ammo can from the 30mm cartridge the apache fires...ITS HUGE.. I was going to use it for a chainsaw kit, but it way to big....but ammo cans are great...

 

I will read the side and post tomorrow to let you know for sure.

I know it was a Fuse Box ammo can. I would say it is around 10"s to a foot deep and 6-8 inches wide, also it is probablly 10-12"s from front to back. I like the lid better cause it is hinged in the back, not a complete removable lid and it has the rubber seal in it to keep it dry. I can stick a ton of stuff in it.
