Well this is my last post on this thread! The seat has been working great! I had to do one last modification and that was to weld the gear to the motor shaft that powers the car seat in and out. The set screw just wasn’t strong enough to keep the gear from spinning on the shaft after a few runs...

Wow what an emotional last few days! I ended up scraping the horizontal rollers as they will clear the slides. We started putting everything back together yesterday. We got as far as the main box with the slides and found the slides starting to stick again. It was very frustrating . We tried a...

T minus 2 days and counting till the cruise! I scrapped the idea of putting cam rollers under neath the inner box inside of the housing because A I think it’s just something that could cause a binding issue and B they didn’t show up in time to install lol! Overall we’re on track ! Water pump...

Cleaned everything back up! Trying to make the cruise for the take over next week! I don’t think I’ll make it but going to try ! I ordered some 5/8” cam rollers. Going to add those inside the bottom of the outer steel tubing to support the inner steel tube. I’m Aldo going to add some horizontal...

Been a few days but what the saying 1 step forward then 5 back or something? Well, I completely removed the whole system out of the truck. Something just was right. The slides were hanging up about 3/4 of the way out. It was could get some resistance then at about 8/10 of the way out it would...

Now I jut have to get it to work this good with my fat butt on it!

We’re almost done with this thing! This past weekend I was about ready to sell my bronco lol! The up and down works flawless. The in/out not so much! Well it worked good for an awhile then I think the window motor that powers it got fatigued. My gear wasn’t catching and would spin so we tried to...

MSD sorry... lol

mds ready to run ...been great and it fits in stock vehicles w/o having to notch the hood brace

I finally got around to this and did what Migs suggested. I didn't want to go to a floor shifter so i cut the shift linkage tab on the column and made a 2" piece of steel the same width and welded it in-between the two parts which moved the hole for the linkage back to its original spot.

Getting closer! The twin stick is in and works flawlessly! I made a cover plate and bought some faux carbon fiber wrap to dress it up. Sunday was a big day of getting things back together. Cleaned up all the wiring under the truck. My dad 2 years ago wired up my power seats and had used wire...

Well I got the new pieces in and it definitely firmed it up plus I have some extra vertical lift in the vehicle to clear my floor pan so it slides in easier. I did notice that the two post my seat mounts to are welded in slightly pointing down, not sure how that happened but I’ll fix that...

Got the new parts made! I need to get some paint and a few extra bronze bushings and washers and hopefully I can have it together tomorrow to see if it solves my problems! Wish me luck!

Ok update, the whole system is in minus the power and the actual seat. I am getting some minimal flex when I have my dad sit on it but I think I have 2 solutions to fix this. I need to sandwich my four link with bars on both sides. The top one will be no issue but the bottom one may need to be...

Yeah I have it in now and getting some flex but I think I have it figured out.
