Popular Post sheepers Posted February 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21 With no idea what I'm doing I decided to pull the seats apart and see if any parts are interchangeable. Long story short, the cushions can be swapped over. So I did. I now have a fucking ace drivers seat and a fucked passenger seat. Then I found a pair of good looking seats on TM in the same colour so I bought them. Between the 4 seats I should have no issue making 2 good ones. Stoked tbh 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 What, for the whole truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted February 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21 Also shit I forgot to mention that I put the rear bumper back on. This was harder then it sounds but basically I pulled all the brackets apart, soaked them in evoporust for a few days then painted them all. I beat most of the dents out of the side bits and then bolted it all back in. One of the mud flaps was broken in two so I welded it beck together with a soldering iron using cable ties for welding rod. Is it good as new? No. Will it last a thousand years? Also no But it's back on the truck and works until it doesn't so I'm calling it a win. 22 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted February 25 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 25 New AC system. As previously I bought one of everything from rock auto. Then I installed it. It was quite the job to get the TX valve out but yea whatever. I still have to fit a fan to the condenser, factory they don't have one which doesn't do the rest of the system a lot of good and is the reason why the TX valves shit themselves. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted February 25 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 25 Also fitted a new radio. The one in it had FM and CD player. And nothing else. Yip yip new radio. Nick the sparky found this thing on special so it was cheap enough. Also fitted a reverse camera which was quite the job getting the cables into the rear door. By some fluke it works. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 If you ever need a new rear door latch cable I have a brand new one here I was to put in ours before it got nicked. The cable in ours would jam up and not latch properly, Rosie took it for a wof up here, the back door opened while he was doing the brake test and a bag of apples fell out.. still passed the wof tho #cuntrylyfe 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 I are a pulsterer. I pulled the other two seats apart and have collected the best bits from the 4 to make two good ones. The seat covers weren't super gross but I decided a turn in the washing machine wouldn't hurt them. Tbh they didn't come out looking much different They might get another turn in the washing machine I reckon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoom Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Did you use any stain remover, or just normal washing machine stuff? I've used SARD and it does a pretty good job getting a bunch of the oil out of my overalls. Just got to pick all the nuts, bolts and swarf out of the machine afterwards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sheepers Posted February 27 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 27 The seats actually came out looking quite good. So I put them back together and put them back in the truck. Fuck, so much more comfort. And now both seats have adjustable lumber support. Then I fitted a cooling fan I had to the AC condenser. I made a bracket and it's in there pretty good. I made up the wiring loom for it but it got dark so I'll fit it tomorrow. Also I bought new discs and drums for it. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
