Re: no more buckets for me
the only thing is that i sit about 2-3inches higher than before but even then its just something to get used to since i forgot to make up for sinking in the cushion before
got in it today after it sitting out and it was fine, even left it in the open sun to test out in the parking lot and it was still fine, i think its really comfortable, makes me sit up instead of slouch, just have to pull the belt tight so i dont slide to much

Re: no more buckets for me
Keep telling yourself that. Maybe I am missing something but that looks excruciating. Not dogging your work, because I sure couldn't do it. I just don't see it being very practical.

Re: no more buckets for me
You could build one like that that uses a metal frame with a sling cloth seat and it would be pretty comfy like some of the sling type deer stands.
That being said, I'm going to stick wth my buddy buckets.

Re: no more buckets for me
It's got a cool rat rod feel to it, which I can tell matches the truck by the Betty and spider web on the dash. I like it, great fab skills!

Re: no more buckets for me
Looks like a park bench, you might come out one morning and find a homeless person sleeping on it! I'm glad its your butt and not mine.

Re: no more buckets for me
My buddy's slammed S-10 has a "No Fat Chicks" sticker on it. You should put a "No Skinny Chicks" sticker on yours-she'll need her own padding.
![]() Looks cool though. Looks more comfortable than some of the things I've had to sleep on!
