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 lot of different things and ended up removing one screw that mounts the left side drawer slide to the inner box tubing. I don’t know why but it made it better not glide free smooth but enough where it wasn’t hanging up. Today we put the parallel four link and seat mount back in ran it in and out a few times and things just kept breaking down from grounds pulling out of wires and fuses popping etc it didn’t seem like we’d make our deadline. The biggest issue was the motor that runs the seat in and out stopped working correctly. Somehow the bolts came lose and the set screw on the gear loosed up! Luckily we were pretty much done with everything at that point so we had time to take it off and inspect it! Gear looked good so we added lock washers and red lock tite to the bolts and cinched them down extra tite! Boom we were done! CRUISE TIME right??? No exactly lol ! Had to pick upKids from sitter and they were anticipating getting picked up in the bronco! The whole way there I had to hold the steering wheel at a 2 o’clock position to drive straight down the road, I think when we added the new steering shaft my wheels were not straight lol! I get to the baby sitters and we’re pissing cooking! Turns out my buddies who helped replace my water pump forgot to tighten a hose a clamp! Not a big deal tightenrd the clamp and back on the road! Now the hand plan was to just pick up with the cruise when they went through my portion of town but I get a phone call! Employee is sick has to bail on our ship sooo me kids cruise through town twice then head back home lol! Oh well but HEY I’m counting this as a win!!! I’m going to the show and shine tomorrow to show this thing off! Hopefully it doesn’t break and embarrass me! I think after tomorrow this will be my last post on this thread!

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. Took it out for the big parade in town with the fam in the tailgate! Here’s the you tube link for it in its operation mode!
