the slo-vo build thread...

Think your wheel bearings will hold up with your spacers and those 33s?

i took them back off today, looked funny with that small tire sticking out. but they lasted a while with the 35's


stripped the seats and center console out tonight, picking up some 2010 ranger leather seats tommorow.

i hate leather but should be able to keep it cleaner. also going to run by the junkyard and see if i cant find some factory rubber flooring to keep the heat down in the cab.

Got the seats in yesterday, they are nice. Though I remembered quick why I always hated leather

 

[RangerSVT]

Too hot, or too cold?? You know the new ones have both heated and cooled leather seats...

but he can't have heated/cooled seats in that thing of a ranger...

 

[86 slo-vo]

They just make ya sweat. Never have really liked leather.

 

[kris97ranger]

Me neither. Even the heated seats still end up being cold fom any of the ones I sat on. Unfortunatly I think I'm going to be switching to leather seats soon too. It's just easier to clean

where'd you get the seats from? I might be looking for some here fairly shortly. My driver's seat has a decent tear in it, and both are mud stained. I'd like to get some vinyl/leather seats. The seats in my bro's 05 are pretty nice.

My thoughts exactly, I'll be installing my leathers in the near future!!

i'll take leather seats with some good seat covers on them, that i can take off and wash but are not leather.. make sense? lol

 

[Bray D]

make sense? lol

No. If you're just gonna use a washable cover, you could do that without leather seats. haha

I would go that route, but I hate seat covers.

got them from my buddy that i gave some parts to a while back. they are deffinantly super comfortable

but i hate the 60/40 setup...so, it felt wrong but i had to do some cutting

took about 20 minutes but turned out nice.

also ran to the jy and pulled some vinyl flooring.

 

[railman]

they look good

I really should go find some vinyl myself.....

as for the leather debate.....I hate sweating against them, but, that is why I have A/C

all the other cons are covered by the easy to clean factor

my exhaust is tucked up tight to the passenger floorboard so it gets warm. during the winter its nice but trying to keep it cooler in there for the summer so decided to pick up the vinyl.

 

[Bray D]

Vinyl keeps the heat out better than carpet? My carpet has some pretty serious padding, figured it would do a good job insulating.

 

[disciplerocks]

I need some of that! My cab gets so damn hot and the previous owner ditched the carpet.
