PULL UP! PULL UP! PULL UP!

I could see doing that in a race vehicle, but what the hell do you want to go and do that for in your traveling base station / camper? Doesn't seem worthwhile for the what 5% of the mileage that will be off-highway? (but ooh, cool, sewing project!)
/negative associations with that general kind of seating frame in Marine helicopters
btw, on the PASSLOCK thing, did you swap out the ignition switch? In my own investigations trying to excise an ignition interlock device, I read a good bit about PASSLOCK, PASSLOCK II stuff and more often than not it was an issue with the signal source embedded in the key switch. And the yellow wire that spawns from it is apparently a fragile POS over time. My Sub had at some point been fitted with a key-dongle sort of slot thing at the bottom of the dash under the steering column. The kind of thing you'd put on a car as an anti-theft device or to keep your kids from taking your car out at night. The install was a hack job and I was getting intermittent trouble and the baleful red glare from the interlock was bugging me, so I carved out the whole mess and returned the circuit to 'normal'.

Apparently when the vehicle was traded in / sold, the 'solution' was to break the key off in the lock, so the dongle wouldn't get lost. It was when I was trying to identify what the hell it did / was connected to that I read a bunch about PASSLOCK shenanigans.
