Update????

Summer has been slow so no good updates yet unfortunately. There are a few little details I've worked on recently.

Running boards came off, although it kind of looks a touch high now. Means it needs moar low

Picked these up, a little bit of customization is going to happen before they go in

Also got my new JL amplifiers and JL stealthbox in. Unfortunately no pictures of the stealthbox during the install, and as the name implies the completed picture is a bit underwhelming

Amps went under the passenger seat. Please forgive my carpet stain

The stealthbox is...well... stealthy...

Sneak peek of what will be replacing the running boards as well as helping tie in to the bumper cover so it doesn't stick down visually compared to the rest.

I have one more thing I'm working on that will hopefully pan out and if so, another fun update in a few weeks

OK - where did you get those? They look great. Luckily we are on polar opposite ends of the country.

My hint will be that they are actually meant for 2nd gen expeditions, but a good body guy should get them looking like they were nearly factory!

The seats look awesome! I just found the info in your post about mounting them too, that's extremely helpful!! I can't wait to get them in.

@MISTERgadget. Thank ya sir. I appreciate it. I was looking for harley seats but navi was second on the list.. i plan on getting the fronts too. There cooled and heated.. my only thing is hooking up the pass side. If you have Any questions about install im happy to help the best i can

The truck mine came out of had cherry heated/cooled front seats... but since I already have Lightning seats and that's the theme I'm going with, those stayed behind
