Well shit, now I wish I had picked up seats when I was out with Clinton in Pennsylvania lol Sounds good, you got any good pics of the mounts that you had to drill?

Those chairs are pretty nice, how hard were they to wire? just needed a power source?

Im gonna have to keep my eyes out for a pair of them that are tan to match what i have. I like how they look inside of the interior.

Thanks! Friends at church taught me a good bit about electrical, now I'm fairly certain I could tackle it with no problems. Just the matter if drilling... I'm no fan of just drilling holes, I'd rather find a different alternative.

All you have to do is mount the belts and enlarge the existing bolt holes for the seat bolts hole process took about 2 hours from old to new seats

x2, this is the only reason I haven't gone to the Expo console. And it's nice to put my feet on the transmission hump too on extended drives lol
