That was pretty accurate when I pulled the coil plug out!
I'm glad it came out! Jeez. At only ~40k. I'm putting a dab of anti seize on these damn things for sure and for something that costs all of $35 bucks in parts I'm going to swap em early.

Crazy how a little bit of poor thought like no engine cover and splitting the cowl mid engine can do shit like this.

Dang! That's pretty awesome of you! I need to book mark your post, I'm beating that outside bolster to death with my fat ass and short legs!

My mad reupholster skills are summed up below ...

Well if it's just the bolstering, you'll have to replace it or have a shop do it. It's all molded up one piece foam under the fabric cover.
I found this stuffed under the cover that might help.

I know what you mean about the seats...I did this to fix the bad seat problem:

I went this route before, didn't like the booster seat feel haha. Self conscious as it is, and I'm sure my coworkers would never stfu about it.(Toxic work environment)

Thanks on that pic. And the insight. =)

When I saw plant code, it reminded me of the rear FJ40 jump seats. Seat and back are both a natural sponge, as in loofah sponge. And that stuff lasts, it was probably treated with who-knows-what back in 1972! o_O

Yeah miss the old school seats.


I had a 96 gmc Sonoma I could sit in those things all day long, and still looked good.

I made some crossbars for my SmartCap, so that I can mount my OVS 270 awning, when it arrived, I bought all my parts locally and they only had 7 black 90 degree mounts. I will have to paint that one, when I know this all works.

I am really happy with them and they keep the awning and (when I mount it) tent as low as possible.
