Re: Listen Up
Why did you put them in on the wrong sides? Armrests should go in the middle.

Re: Listen Up
I am in the process of putting the seats out of a 2002 Intrepid in mine. They fit really well and very easy to install. They do sit lower, but they are power, so you just move them up. Be sure that you reinforce the mount points to avoid the "face in the windshield" syndrome.

Re: Listen Up
If you're using standard seat belts, ones bolted to the floor, then they would restrain both the seat and you in case of a head on collision. If you're using seats that have the integral belts, that's when you need to take make sure they're secured to the floor as well as possible.

Re: Listen Up
they were not yet level in the truck, this was in 07...
i did get them level eventually.... the arm rests are on the left side becaue i removed the stock arm rests off the doors, fully clean... I eventally painted and coverd the seats to match, it looked good, then it all burned to the ground in front of my eyes. oh well. |

Re: Listen Up
and the seat belts were eventually fed thru the seat due to that reason (not retaining seat weight)
the backs of the seats had reinforces 1/2blates under the backs.... (large weight bearing and distribution) |

Re: Listen Up
My Intrepid seats use integral seat belts, hece the added precaution on reinforcement. I am just now mounting them, but I will try to post pics this weekend.

Re: Listen Up
I broke my back about 35 years ago, & as a result, I can only set comfortably in a bench seat for about 10 miles. I usually go to a boneyard & set in wrecked cars until I find buckets that fits my body good. (my human body) & are the right size. I then take them to my apolster guy & have him recover them in the material I want. Then it's just a matter of drilling a couple of holes in the floor & making a couple of reinforcing plates for the underside of the cab. Now I understand that they aren't "origanal equiptment" & you have to drill a few holes in your floor, but thats OK with me. None of my trucks are 100 point concourse show trucks anyway, & I'm not limited to finding a pair of seats that have the exact bolt pattern as these old trucks. I prefer seats that are comfortable & look good too. I've never paid more than $55 for a set of buckets at the junkyard & around $350 to have them recovered. Most all of the junkyards that I explore in have a set price for seats & it doesn't matter to them if they are electric, heated or have lumbar supports. JOHN

Re: Listen Up
I actually raised them 2 in so I could fit the boxes for the two 8 in subs under them. I have more leg room but everyone says it makes me look bigger going down the road. Picture from the 09 Brothers truck show.

Re: Listen Up
Did you have a backfire and the foam filter caught fire? I have always heard guys talk about the possibility of that and wondered if that was the culprit.
