    so the actual work painted the underside of the center cover I'm a huge fan of DEI anything (the insulation, the other, not so much) installed it on the hump. I never sprayed the cover with Durabak - so getting the most protection was key. Keep in mind, though, I sprayed the interior with...

    one more bite on that elephant this time, seats so the problem, mine is an 86, these are 87 seats. IMO they are so much more comfortable and supportive then the 86. Add to it that it doesn't rattle like the 86 and older... but it's not a bolt in at all... first is make adapters.... still...

    now fits just fine just sitting in place.... yes, it will be kind of a pain to adjust while driving but I can get a remote or steering wheel controls if it really bugs me with that said, it puts it in a place that I can watch it from the back (when the camper is on), and gives the navigator...

    time to finish it up. One major thing is I get to rewire the rear - the battery and inverter is all now a Breeze 1600 watt e-generator. This combines a lot - and adds battery powered a/c to keep the pups cool even when it's not cool out 2 batteries for the back a lot of clean up in the...

    new switches... snazzy set the kick panels in place... just barely clears the e-brake... but barely is just fine still haven't decided whether to drill a hole in the dash and mount the tweeters or call the spot on the kick panel good enough in an effort to make a good sounding stereo...

    Let there be lights 2 flood, 2 spots.... what's cool about the ARB (for those who don't know) is they can vary light output from 5% to 100%... the spotlights, at 100%, can illuminate things 3 miles away.
